DEADLINE 2
Is your name on your five openings? May have no name!
Lighting Homework needs to be completed as well
Lighting Homework needs to be completed as well
After your work on narrative this week you will be asked to return to your five thriller openings and discuss the use of narrative in the openings. Some people have not completed this taks it is vital that you keep up with deadlines as you could start to lose marks.
Deadline Two – Pre-Production Planning
A completed storyboard for the entire opening (preferably having used ‘post it’s), including initial ideas about title placing.
This needs to be made into an animatic of approximately the same length as the final film will be (shots to be timed carefully) with a voice-over explanation and embedded onto the blog.
Also:
- a synopsis for the whole film narrative from which this will be the opening (about 100 words),
- the script for any dialogue,
- list of roles (see pre-production planning advice)
- images of locations and decisions about locations,
- prop research and justification in terms of character and story
- health and safety, including risk assessments for filming and use of equipment.
- lighting decisions.
Blog Heading “Pre-Production Planning”(clearly label which group member has taken responsibility for each of the various posts).
Again, consider blog format – images, text, screen grabs, embedded video, hyperlinks, etc
If you want to film over half term, this needs to be handed in earlier in order that we can check it through and grant permission.
Deadline - Friday 10thFebruary

From paris with Love
Camera Work
Depth of field used to make the focus on the character or object, High angles and low angles, tilt up/ down, extreme close up,close up. The camera movement is very fast at the beginning to keep up with the cars speed.
Mise en scene
Dim lighting in the tunnel is used to create a mysterious atmosphere but then goes into bright light at then end of the tunnel. Desaturation of colour in the tunnel which is a greeny tinge. The setting of this character when he is driving through the gates makes him seem important as there is two men outside guarding it which also makes the audience question why is he going in there? is he important? is this his job? The characters clothes also help to show him as an important character as he is in a suit and dressed smartly. Props and the setting help the audience to understand the character surroundings if not that apparent at first, for example the eiffel tower to show he is in Paris, which also leads you back to the title of the film.
Sound
parallel which fits the film as it is french music and he is driving through Paris, non diagetic because the radio is made louder than it is but also diagetic as the radio is from the car which means the character can hear it too. Soundbridge used to link places together even if they may be miles apart. fast pace to create suspense
Editing
quick takes, parallel, some continuity editing on a few shots, transition fade at the beginning when it starts off completly black then the fast movements of the tunnel lights which the subtitles fade into, also when the main title comes up and then fades into the trees.
Shutter Island
Camera Work
varied camera shots to show the characters expression, range of angles
used,tilt up/ down, camera angle in some shots at point of view from the
character
Mise en scene
the settings bring you back to the title, being an island surrounded by water could suggest no escaping. establishing shots, clothes are formal giving the impression that the character is more important than others as he and two other are the only ones in suits, use of makeup makes him look washed out,
lighting used is dim, but the use of the match being struck suggests the person feeling like there in an enclosed space with the darkness around them, light is only on the charaters face with no background to take the focus away
Sound - both parallel and contrapuntal in different scenes, non diagetic sound, soundbridge,
Editing
long and short takes, match on action, shot reverse shot, transition where the flame goes out then the setting changes, slow and fast pace, straight cuts
The Bourne Identity
Sound - non diagetic sound of the waves crashing is made louder, quick tempo sound to create pace and suspense, Sound bridge used to join two settings together
Camera Work
low angles used to show setting of character from where he has been dragged out of sea and is laying on the table whilst the man is taking the bullets out his back high angle looking down from where he's standing to show the whole setting. Focus pull on the main props, varied shot sizes, alot of close ups for example his hand on the table, and the close up of the man washig the bullet under the tap which is a small but significant prop as it is the reason he cant remember anything.
Mise en scene
settings at the beginning is an establishing shot to create an element of realsim, being on a boat as many poeple have. Clothes for this character is quite plain
costume dark colours and plain suggesting the character needing to fit in and not be noticed, lighting isdark to create an atmosphere and is not overly bright suggesting something synister as there is only one small light in the room which is not that bright either.
Editing
slow pace at the beginning then moves onto a quicker pace when the charcter wakes up and tries to remember what happened but then passes out again. Shot reverse shot, match on action, cross cutting, parallel
Fast and furious 5
Camera work
a mobile camera head used aswell as a arm camera crane, tracking shots from a variety of positions for example in the favelas, different angels which aloow the camera to manuver between high and low in a matter of seconds, range of longshots, closups and mid closeups, birdeye view used.
sound
parellel, non diagetic and diagetic when the car is revving and the crash of the vehical is made louder, as the pace quickens the music quickens to create tension
Mise en scene
the settings help to draw the viewer in and make them believe the plot so they put themselves in the charcters shoes. costume hair and makeup of the charatcers are all low key, they are casually dressed to make them fit in with their surroundings and not stand out as they have FBI agents after them. The film begins in Rio which is an establishig shot and helps to give a good understanding of the setting to the audience.
Editing
fast editing, parallel, quick pace and goes straight into the film, shot reverse shot used, match on action
