What our aim was: Our aim was to plan and produce a successful 3-5 minute film clip which could take any form whether in be a scene from a film or a film opening. We chose to do a film opening as we believe they are the easiest way in which to show off our skills as we our able to incorporate titles and music to make the clip a lot more successful and just simply more professional looking. We chose to do a chase sequence in our clip, as these are often very dramatic and provide tension but we also believed that this idea would allow us to showcase our skills. The chase would be on foot, with two people, and so once we had decided this we began to do or research. We watched several chase sequences on YouTube from all different genres of film and television series. For example James Bod movies and (tv prog one), however, in my opinion the most helpful clip that we watched was one which a past student had created himself from his homemade novice titled 'Oscar'. This allowed us to see what we were actually capable of as it was a small scale production, not a Hollywood film with millions of pounds behind it.
Cohesive conventions that we picked from all the chase sequences that we watched.
On comp at school.
My main focus in the production: Camera shots.
Relate to our research and the shots used in these such as tracking shots, POV shots and running towards the chase as they run the other way which creates a dramatic effect and more speed. Say why these shots were used and what effect they had for the audience and their emotional response.
Spectator theory
Framing of shots to create a variation when watching, not all the same with the action in the centre. Also focused on shot framing as we wanted to be able to add titles on once in the editing stage so has to leave room for this in the shot.
Mention Ethan's role which was editing. Say how I also pitched in on this role, often dictating my ideas to which then Ethan would successfully carry out, such as the freeze frames plus titles shots for a burst of tension for the audience.
What was successful and unsuccessful. Talk about how the snow delayed out filming.
