Picture analysis

I believe that this is what our characters will look like in our 2 minute intro. Our costume will consist of a black suit with white shirt and black tie. We shall use accessories like black glasses, toothpicks and guns. We hope by dressing like this the audience will recognise us a stereotypical gangster character like Marlon Brandos character in godfather Don Vito Corleone.
We will use the pleasentville effect to bring life to one object in colour in the scene. This will present a change in time as the past merges with the present.

Our Film Genre

In todays lesson we made a decision on what genre our 2 minute film intro would be.
My group decided that our film was going to be along the lines of the crime genre, we decided to do this genre because after watching a few examples of this genre we decided we like the techniques used and the mise en scene of the clips. we also want to do crime to break away from everyone else in the class who are doing the stereotipical horror intro.

Typical Film Genres And Examples

Media Preliminary Task

Editing

Today me and Kieran strated to edit the preliminary task unfortuently Matt could not join as he was ill. Me and Kieran used the programe adobe premiere elements to edit the software. We found the using this software easy as Kieran had some experience with this editing software so he really show off his skills. At the end of the lesson i believed the clip was fully edited and looked great but Kieran offer to take it home and add a few minor tweaks to it to make it flow well and look outstanding. 

Finished Filming

Today our group finished filming the preliminary task. Me, Kieran and Matt finished off the preliminary task by filming the rest of the conversation and me opening and walking through the door. Next lesson our group will begin to edit the clips and put them together ready to hand in.
 The preliminary task was too, film and edit a character opening a door, crossing the room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue.

Start Of Filming

Today we started filming our prelimanary task.
Whilst filming we tested out many camera angles/ camera shots. Those included the point of view shot, this is the most common view, being the real-world angle that we are all used to. It shows subjects as we would expect to see them in real life. It is a fairly neutral shot, the high angle shot, a high angle shot shows the subject from above, i.e. the camera is angled down towards the subject. This has the effect of diminishing the subject, making them appear less powerful, less significant or even submissive and the low angle shot this shows the subject from below, giving them the impression of being more powerful or dominant. We also inclueded the 180 degree rule,The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other.
