Final..

Prelim Task

PRELIM IDEA

For this task we decided to film a boy and girl that had to go to a detention, the boy did not really care but the girl was the geek who doesn't usually get a detention and was trying to concentrate on her reading. We filmed this in one of the head the teachers offices because we feel it felt like an office where a detention would be held. It started off with the boy (me) walking down the corridor to the room, then opening the door sitting down talking to lily. Then lily was concentrating on reading and didnt want to talk. There was no teacher and because tom didn't care he decided to walk out of the detention because the teacher was absent. In the Video we had to include match on action shot, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. When we was filming we didn't realise the effort you have to make to get the right shot, whereas normally you would just take shots from the front or to an angle, but getting the shots right and correct was harder and feel that we made a good effort. We had already made a Storyboard and the script as you can see from the pictures above this helped us for the positioning of where we had the chairs, and the camera angle for different shots like the opening of the door etc. Before we took the final shots we had made some practice ones to make sure we was getting it right and that the final one would work. We then imported the video to our computer and made cuts and edits so that it then became a continuos piece of work.  I think that the Prelim task has worked and happy with what we did, it is all good practice for when we make our 2 minute long film opening.

REMAKE

I chose to remake the opening title of the 1999 American hit drama Arlington Road directed by Mark Pellington because it was a remake that I feel was a challenge to set myself because of the amount of different filming techniques that were used with the camera shots and angles. Most of the film was made up of different special/computerised effects that enabled me to work with the Premier Pro and get used to working with different tools when making my own film. 

When we took into consideration on how to film the remake we thought it was good to take time and keep watching the original Arlington Road on www.artofthetitle.com to make sure we could do the best to remake the different angles and shots that were used. The shots that were taken were mostly of fences, bridges, cars, people, some buildings, people on bikes, stop signs anything to do with outside and near a road as Arlington Road was about a car crash. If we were to just film fences and grass it would have been a very boring opening title, so like the Original we added fonts, titles and lots of effects. 

Mission Impossible Clip

http://www.artofthetitle.com/2008/03/19/mission-impossible/ 


Mission Impossible Link













The opening of the film and throughout the clip is very fast moving and the pictures change a lot in a short space of time which makes the viewer feel as though it is a mission and things need to be done discretely and quick. From the beginning there is a lot of Extreme close ups which is demonstrating and emphasising the facial expression to make it look threatening. There are also a lot of reaction shots, which is letting us see the response of the actor. Most of the shots are in shallow focus that means that every bit of detail is shown but the background and things going on in the back do not necessarily stand out. 

My first impression of the clip was good, because the time you get to the end of everything that has happened in the film it makes you want to see more and watch the whole of the film. It creates a tense and exciting mood because of the pace and how fast it changes to another camera angle, and the use of strobe lighting makes it look more eye-catching and appealing. The whole clip is made up of Editing and cutting because there are a lot of individual shots that are put together to make the whole clip and the use of images that are suddenly replaced by another without visibly seeing the transition is used a lot.  Montage is also used in the way that rapid cutting is used so that one image is juxtaposed with another image or one scene and then it quickly goes on to dissolve into another scene, this is to create a visual continuity and rhythm.

The sound that is used is the mission impossible theme song and there is actually no voice over’s, or sound effects in the clip just the theme song. This is important to the clip because having the theme song and not any other types of sounds relates it to the film ‘Mission Impossible’ because everyone knows the song. The sound is very important because if you were to put the sound to mute and then watch the clip over again you find yourself getting bored and show no enthusiasm to the film because it is not as exciting and it could just be any images on the screen and not mission impossible film.

The mood that all the colours, sound (theme song), the camera angles and all the other things that make up the clip all give out a type of mood. It is fast moving and sharp that makes it all mysterious, and makes your heart race because you want to know what is going to happen next.

All together I chose mission impossible as one of my clips to evaluate because I like the way it is fast and the use of just one theme song, no sound affects, the colours and all the other parts that make it works and still makes you want to go and watch the film.

Cityscape Movie Clip

This is my clip that I made, i cut it in different places
to make it have an affect and added titles. I also put
some backing music in the clip so it was more exciting
and appealing.

Trainspotting Moodboard

Trainspotting Moodboard
This is my Moodboard that I have created for the film "Trainspotting". I have chosen many different pictures that are relevant to the theme of the opening scene. I have chosen the pictures because they are to do with drugs, expensive things you can get and the scottish setting which are all referring to the film. The people and cars that are in my moodboard are not the actual images used in the film but they are images that are describing what was said.

Trainspotting

This is the opening scene of "Trainspotting" that my moodboard relates to.
