Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on match action, shot/reverse/shot and the 180-degree rule.<br />

Main Task Brief:<br />
The titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes. All video and audio material must be original, produced by the candidate(s), with the exception of music or audio effects from a copyright-free source</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lookig back at the preliminary task I feel that I have learnt that research is key. Our preliminary task was done with very little planning and our location wasn’t properly thought through, we had to move tables to place the camera in the correct place. Whereas our real piece was well thought out and by checking locations in advance we could avoid mistakes like that. I have also learnt about lighting, it helps bring out the full image and by using studio lighting you avoid the continuity errors that occur in natural lighting. I also feel I have learnt that all problems can be overcome. When presented with the issue of how to make a pencil float we tried and tried until we finally had a shot that we were happy with. Finally I have learnt that a master shot is fundamental to an effective edit and helps with continuity and structuring the scene. I also learnt that you cant plan for everything. We had two very good actors who had to cancel on us due to prior commitments.</span></div><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I feel that although our planning was well done, perhaps some more work on a storyboard would have been effective. If we had spent more time focusing on the way in which the shots should have been framed then we wouldnt of had to scale them up to make them fit the screen come editing. Our prelim task also didnt contain any special effects or music, and i believe more research and practice with these aspects could have helpped us with our final piece.</span><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Research:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">During the research into this project I found that the use of social networking sites like blogger and facebook, really helped our group stay in touch and understand where we were in the project. I would recommend the full abuse of these sites when doing group work. We also used still cameras when picking locations, which helped us see how many extras we would need to make the hall look full up and also helped us decide on our framing and what we wanted to show in shot. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Production:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><a href="http://s810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/latymermedia/?action=view&current=diy_studio_lighting.jpg" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="200" src="http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/latymermedia/diy_studio_lighting.jpg" width="196" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">During the actual filming of the opening sequence we learnt about pad lights and three point lighting. Three-point lighting is very good in terms of eliminating shadow and recreating a 'natural' look, but only when you have been taught to use them properly. It took some lessons and a few recces for us to work out how best to use them, which was made more complicated by the fact that different lighting was needed for different shots.After getting the footage realised the importance of keep the lighting continuous to avoid continuity errors. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

It was necessary to use a lot more than just a simple camcorder. We needed a tripod to do steady shots, a boom mic to pick up sound from further away and a boom pole to holster it, a battery to power the camera and a smaller one to use as back up, two tapes and headphones to check the sound. We also used several studio lights in order to illuminate our shots and give them more depth.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Post production:</span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">In post production we learnt how to use both final cut pro and premier pro to edit our footage. The two were really user friendly, with acess to "bins" simple transitions and effects to add to the video and similar effects to add to our audio. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><object style="height: 200px; width: 320px;"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BsOGlwGvs8s?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BsOGlwGvs8s?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="320" height="200"></object></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">One simple method we used on premier pro was the chroma keying "green screened" effect. Following the simple steps in the above video and adding some special effects to a pre recorded image of Frank we ended up with this:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://s810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/latymermedia/Group%203%20Film%20Opening/?action=view&current=frankcartoon.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="172" src="http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/latymermedia/Group%203%20Film%20Opening/frankcartoon.jpg" width="200" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

</span></div><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">We took inspiration from one of our case studies: James Cameron's 'Avatar,' by incorporating elements of many different genres. We had a comedic moment between Angus and Jessica, slightly darker aspects with regard to music, mise-en-scene etc. This gave us a wide reach and allowed us to attract as many possible target markets and maximise revenue. We tackled issues that teenagers face; for example, being bullied, the person you fancy not noticing you, being left behind at the end of class. These issues are relateable and allow our audience to empathise with our main character. It also makes him seem cute and vulnerable which attracts the secondary market of teenage females. We included conventions from comic books, such as labels in yellow boxes, which attract our other secondary market of the ‘comic book generation.’ Our sequence contains of lot of SFX to astound and entertain our audience, the best example being our pencil lift effect, but the transition from cartoon to real Angus at the end of the credits, as well as the ghost effect at the end are also good examples of what were fedback on positively.</span><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Our initial idea was a market of 20-30 year old males, or the ‘comic book’ generation. This would be one of our markets but as our idea developed we realised that the setting of the school and inspirational character of ‘Angus’ being an underdog in his late teens fit the target market of teenage males who are interested in superheroes. Girls of a similar age would be a secondary market thanks to the love interest in the film and the attractive teen icon as the star.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

We gain funding from large studios in exchange for selling our distribution rights, in order to reach a larger audience.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

They have a strong global reach and this would benefit our media product by reaching as many of our possible target market as possible, due to our movie not being region exclusive. Warner Bros, which distributed films like Superman and the critically acclaimed Dark Knight, is another potential candidate.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Due to the mainstream nature of the superhero genre, I believe that the best venue to show our film at would be a popular cinema, such as Odeon or Cineworld. The Premiere would take place in Leicester Square, as the film would be made and set in the UK. We would attempt to create an atmosphere like the 'Kick-Ass' premiere.</span></div>Latymer Media 2010http://www.blogger.com/profile/12158812812118861790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507418577423351249.post-2159976816460584662011-04-04T02:00:00.000-07:002011-04-05T00:36:27.297-07:00Evaluation question 2<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">How does your media product represent particular social groups?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">We demonstrate three major areas of representation: <span style="color: black;">Age, Gender and Social Status</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Social Status:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIGxZPBNgqyb2cLmS7-Atss5yCLN8iTQMs1ZxL0_KFAe660226uQqzM7HN9RBhnjidY52cW6nMfc_lzDtvI7O3E9pILlacOxhhX5eLLQBJ_I5h_EuqMeW6dDMGnN7q1QqQDQiQ4J-7ik/s1600/Character+placement.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoIGxZPBNgqyb2cLmS7-Atss5yCLN8iTQMs1ZxL0_KFAe660226uQqzM7HN9RBhnjidY52cW6nMfc_lzDtvI7O3E9pILlacOxhhX5eLLQBJ_I5h_EuqMeW6dDMGnN7q1QqQDQiQ4J-7ik/s1600/Character+placement.jpg" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">In this scene, we used proxemics to promote the idea that Angus is isolated and lonely. The seat next to him is ocupied by his bag and while everyone else is occupied with talking to eachother and listening to the teacher, he is instead engrossed in his work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

His black trench coat cuts him off from the rest of the world while the "jock" wears a traditional school sports jersy, indicating his complete aceptance into the school system.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Finally anchoring Angus as the outcast is his interaction with Jessica. He becomes <span style="color: black;">clumsy and hesitant, best </span>demonstrated through his‘clumsy clamber’, the slight hesitation when handing back her coat and the shot-reverse-shot of their conversation. </span></div>Latymer Media 2010http://www.blogger.com/profile/12158812812118861790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507418577423351249.post-20590989992934039962011-04-04T01:59:00.000-07:002011-04-05T02:51:00.988-07:00Evaluation question 1<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">One major convention of films that we stuck to was continuity. We learnt all about continuity editing during our preliminary excercise</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Our genre was superhero movie and we took a lot of inspiration from existing superhero movies:</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">A classic convention of a superhero movie is the long opening title sequence, fit with moving stills that tell a story like a comic book.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> We used common stereotypes throughout our piece, for example:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The cartoon-like style of the titles links in with the comic book style of superheroes.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />

</tbody></table><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">We used a similar style as we did for our titles throughout our piece, when showing characters in comic strips which is an uncommon form of anchoring characters.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">We stuck to the conventional “underdog” style of superhero because it is effective and sells well to a British audience.</span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The voiceover at the beggining is a common method, used to anchor the storyline early and get into the action quickly, like in spiderman, this helpped us when we were portraying so much in just two minuets</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Aside from conventions, we have also used narrative techniques in order to sequence our opening. For example, we have followed <span style="color: black;">Todorov’s theory of equilibrium:</span></span></div><ul><li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>The Agents:</strong> Angus Archer, Jessica Baker, The unseen mad celebrity</span></div></li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>The Equilibrium</strong>: Angus has an undiscovered power, living out the life of a standard teen (bullied, doing okay at school but not really concentrating, in love with a girl who doesnt know his name)</span></div></li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>The Disruption:</strong> The crazy celebrity kidnaps Jessica with the intention of luring Angus to him and taking his ability</span></div></li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>The Journey</strong>: Angus comes out of his shell and using his ability, gets the girl.</span></div></li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>The New Equilibrium</strong>: Angus and Jessica start going out, the presenter is arrested and locked up and Angus gains the confidence to deal with the bullies in his own exceptional way.</span></div></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">We also used binary opposites within our sequence to set up conflict for the film. Some of these can be seen below. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

<ul><li>The Idea is perhaps too convoluted for an A level production</li>
<li>In two minuiets there is too much to put across (love intrest, home life, autism etc.)</li>
<li>The storyboard contains too much.</li>
<li>The crazy transitions we want, although they have been tested, may be too confusing</li>
<li>love the major plot idea however</li>
<li>really like the setting and actors</li>

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><strong>1) Who did you work with and how did you manage the task between you?</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/latymermedia/Group%202E%20Prelim%202010/DSC03428.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="150" src="http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/latymermedia/Group%202E%20Prelim%202010/DSC03428.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">In my group was Michael Cassidy, Alex Thoupos and myself. We were all very professional in the way we handled the various tasks required considering we only had 3 people in our group. Michael started as the director and camera man while Alex and I acted as the bully and his friend. Alex then had to switch with Michael as he became the new actor. Although the main camera man was normally Alex we all got up from time to time to check framing and constantly gave different suggestions to keep the flow of filming going, which was very important due to the short time span we were given to film.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><strong>2) How did you plan your sequence? What processes did you use? What theories did you try to take into account?</strong></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">To plan our sequence we first decided to draw up a basic script. This script gave a general outline of the dialogue and action of the scene which allowed us to consider which direction we wanted to take with regard to the shooting.</div><a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/39648988/The-Bully-Script" style="-x-system-font: none; display: block; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 14px Helvetica, Arial, Sans-serif; margin: 12px auto 6px; text-decoration: underline;" title="View The Bully Script on Scribd">The Bully Script</a> <br />

After that we decided to make a basic storyboard, just with stick figure drawings, which also gave a sense of what we wanted on screen. We also managed to sort out a few problems with framing before we even started filming which was very helpful. As for techniques, we were required to primarily consider continuity. This meant using the 180 degree rule and 30 degree rule as well as match on action and shot reverse shots. While writing it we considered Levi-Strauss' theory of creating narrative through binary opposites like good verses evil. The opposites we had were:<br />
-Big vs. Small<br />
-Friends vs. Friendless<br />
-Tall/confident vs. hunched and scared<br />
-Loud vs. Quiet</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"> <strong>3) What technology did you use to complete the task, and how how did you use it?</strong></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/latymermedia/Group%202E%20Prelim%202010/DSC03425.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="150" src="http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz28/latymermedia/Group%202E%20Prelim%202010/DSC03425.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As seen in the picture (left) we used a standard cannon HDV </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">video camera with an additional microphone attachment and a basic tripod for steadier shots. The mic had 3 settings, each successive one allowing for more and more of the surrounding noise to be heard. We only used the shotgun setting and the ambient 1 setting, which allowed a high level of focus on the noise. We also used a set of headphones plugged directly into the camera (also seen left) and this allowed the camera man to hear exactly what the camera heard and therefore prevent any mistakes in the sound. The final piece of kit was a clapper board used for simplicity when it came to the editing process; when we saw what was written on the clapper board at the start of a shot we instantly knew what we were looking at.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><strong>4) What factors did you try to take into account when planning, shooting and editing?</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
- Time:<br />
We were given an hour to plan, an hour to shoot and another hour to edit. This meant getting our heads down and keeping work flow at a constant. During the planning we made sure we were clear on all shot ideas so that we could shoot them with relative ease when the time came. We also had to make sure it wasn't too complicated in order to get it done in time.<br />
<br />
- Number of people:<br />
Unfortunately our group only had 3 people. This meant that we could only have 2 people acting at a time and make sure the transition between different camera men was both smooth during the shooting and didn't show up during the edit. Our idea was easy enough to do with 3 people and we all pitched in during shooting; directing and giving ideas, which really helped keep the project moving<br />
<br />
- Continuity:<br />
This was perhaps the most important factor as it was the point of the task. When shooting, we had to make sure that everything in the scene remained unchanged which was achieved simply by keeping the room free and setting up in advance. We had to keep the lighting the same so we used the non natural lights present in the room. We had to follow continuity rules, such as the 180 degree line rule, the 30 degree rule, and the shot reverse shot technique. We also included a technique called eyeline matching which kept the actors at a level with the audience.<br />
<br />
- Location:<br />
We were only able to shoot in school, and so we were limited to where we could actually go. Many rooms were in use at the time of our shooting and so we used the most sensible room (the room our lesson was in). </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><strong>5) How successful was your sequence? Please identify what worked well, and with hindsight, what would you improve/do differently?</strong></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />
The success of our sequence was quite high. The match on action shots were very effective, especially on the grabbing of the door handle and chair. The 180 rule was adhered to and the continuity of the sequence was spot on (which was the point of this exercise)<br />
<br />
The last few shots were highly effective in portraying the desired emotion of fear and the speed of the action.<br />
<br />
There were however a few problems with the sequence. The arc of the camera was slightly wobbly and the framing off as the bully walked over to sit down by the nerd. This was probably due to the tripod being left on too stiff controls. One major issue is the use of the POV shot when the bully stands. This POV shot is supposed to be from the view of the nerd, however just before that shot the nerd is looking another way so the shot doesn't make sense. In hindsight I would have liked to start that shot with a pan across to the bully to represent the nerds head turning.<br />
<br />
I think the sequence on the whole was very successful in portraying what we wanted and what I've learnt will be useful in later projects.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><strong>6) What have you learnt from completing the task? Looking ahead, how will this learning be significant when completing the rest of your foundation coursework, do you think?</strong><br />
<br />
Looking back I think more detailed storyboarding and a wider variety of shots will allow the editing process to be much smoother. Also the time limit was a big constraint so in future projects I will make sure I have plenty of extra time on my hands.</div>Latymer Media 2010http://www.blogger.com/profile/12158812812118861790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507418577423351249.post-25578268604603510302010-10-17T14:31:00.000-07:002011-04-05T01:50:47.145-07:00Applying Barthe's Theory<object height="250" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ydBnoYxEjno?fs=1&hl=en_GB&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ydBnoYxEjno?fs=1&hl=en_GB&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="250"></embed></object><br />

<div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">What is the genre of the film? How are the genre signifiers introduced?</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The genre is crime/action. This can be seen by one man being involved with betting on cock fights and then running from an MI5 operative. The action is seen in the various explosions and crazy heart stopping stunts.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Who are the main characters and how are they opposed?</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">James bond. The protagonist. We see him doing the same running and stunts as the chased antagonist, however bond runs while trying to keep passers by reasonably safe, while the antagonist can be seen constantly pushing people and getting in the way of others. James bond is also made up to be slightly more comical than the other man to make him seem more close to the audience.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">What are the main themes of the film and how are they introduced?</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Action and crime tend to just be covered in Bond films. The act of chasing is also a recurring theme, as well as the traveling to foreign countries and saving innocent people.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">How is the narrative organised to show conflict?</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bond uses both brawn and brain to get down while the other man uses cunning and stealth. One is being chased the other chasing. Bond works for good the other man for bad. Bond never causes explosions only tries to avoid them. The two men are just shown to be complete opposites through the chase while still performing the same acts.</span></div>Latymer Media 2010http://www.blogger.com/profile/12158812812118861790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507418577423351249.post-17116196865662278402010-10-15T01:41:00.000-07:002011-04-05T01:51:13.195-07:00Todorov's Theory of Equilibrium<object height="250" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yWL3Uw7872s?fs=1&hl=en_GB&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yWL3Uw7872s?fs=1&hl=en_GB&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="250"></embed></object><br />

This time is represented in the film as being a bright and happy time where he play's with his son and they appear to have a great relationship. Later the equilibrium could be when he is head of precrime. This is in the opening scene and although the man is sad, he seems to have his job going very well for him and has been living like this for a long time.

<div id="eow-description">This is the original, color version of the scene in which Uma Thurman's character, the Bride, takes on the Crazy 88's (although they're aren't really 88 of them, they just think it sounds cool)<br />
The released version is in black and white, to avoid an NC-17 rating, and also doesn't have some of the kills as in this version.</div><br />
Kill Bill is one story, divided into two volumes with five chapters each, presented in a nonlinear narrative style, as is common among Tarantino's films. The film is about a former assassin known as The Bride. On the day of her wedding, she's gunned down by a former employer<span class="moretext" style="display: inline;"> along with her child, groom-to-be and the rest of her wedding circle. She, however, manages to barely survive, with a bullet lodged in her brain. Five years later, she awakes from a coma. Ready to wreak havoc for the deaths of her child and groom, she's off to kill Bill.</span> <br />
<br />
The scene opens with a pan up the body of a man who is clearly one of the ring leaders. Then it cuts to a tilt of The Bride unmoving as the crazy 88 circle in. As it cuts to her she is still standing in the same position as before, she raises her sword to see the reflection behind her in order to get a 180 degree view. All the shots so far have been flowing as they are all mid shots or close ups and have all been following the same swooping motion. As soon as the fighting starts the shots become much shorter and cut between wides and close ups to throw the audience in and out; making them feel like they're moving around in the fight. The match on action shot of The Bride removing an eye of her opponent is pulled off very well by the well cut together motion. The fact that the eye is fake is hidden behind the speed of the action. Each fight between The Bride and a new opponent fits the 180 degree rule in order to not confuse the audience too much.<br />
<br />
These rules continue and many match on action shots can be seen, for example the cuts between the axe being thrown and it colliding with another of the crazy 88's chest. The shot order is all very logical; opponent approaches, The Bride attacks, the opponent is shown to be bleeding profusely and then it repeats. We also get shots of the one's she has killed lying in the exact place they died; another continuity technique. The camera is always eyeline matched when The Bride attacks or when emotion is being shown which keeps the audience knowing where they are most of the time, but the shots will also change to HA or LA to either show more of the surroundings or throw the audience away and give them a feel for the speed of the fight.Latymer Media 2010http://www.blogger.com/profile/12158812812118861790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507418577423351249.post-65019591233768642732010-10-04T11:18:00.000-07:002010-10-04T11:24:10.415-07:00Principles of Continuity<span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<div style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><u>Why is Continuity important?</u></b><br />
</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Continuity is used to keep the narrative flow both logical and understandable. When continuity errors occur the audience can be left confused as to what has happened.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><b></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
<b><u>The Rules of Continuity Editing</u></b></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<b><i>Shot order</i></b> - You should help your audience make sense of the film by moving across physical space in a logical shot order, i.e. long shot to mid shot to close up, instead of jumping from long shot to extreme close up</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
<b><i>180 degree rule</i></b> - This rule refers to an imaginary line running through the middle of the scene (shown below). It is important not to cross the line because it changes the perspective that the viewer see he scene from which can cause confusion and disorientation. So unless this is intended or the viewer actually sees the viewpoint move across the line, then it is important not to cross the line. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><div style="background-color: black; border: medium none; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipVYFgsXWOytu_GuX8BtlTKY-yDyfx8o6Ixz9Ql3Ahhjq2QUksswldVKApilmODcNKdLKngjJLsGZ62Jai9PHeWtWKAqJtGp_Sf247GCOABhWPESiUoXZgoFpCaGkDJ6rCbtGrGe6amtw/s1600/180_degree_rule.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="176" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipVYFgsXWOytu_GuX8BtlTKY-yDyfx8o6Ixz9Ql3Ahhjq2QUksswldVKApilmODcNKdLKngjJLsGZ62Jai9PHeWtWKAqJtGp_Sf247GCOABhWPESiUoXZgoFpCaGkDJ6rCbtGrGe6amtw/s200/180_degree_rule.png" width="200" /></a></span> </div><div style="background-color: black; border: medium none; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><i>30 degree rule</i></b> - If the camera angle moves by less than 30 degrees (with the same framing) the audience may notice a 'jump' in the footage (also known as a jump cut) </span></div><div style="background-color: black; border: medium none; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span> </div><span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><b><i>Eyeline Match</i></b> - It is important that the direction of the characters' gazes stay constant. For example if one character 1 is taller than character 2, then when the camera is from character 1's point of view it should be a high angle (looking down) and from character 2's point of view it should be a low angle (looking up).<br />
<br />
<b><i>Match on Match Action</i></b> - You should match the last action of the previous shot to the first action of the next shot. This will ensure that action doesn't appear to repeat itself.</span><span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
<b><i>Shot/reverse/shot</i></b> - When cutting back and forth between two people having a conversation you should do it in stages as following:</span><span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br />
</span> <br />
<ul style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">Film it once as a master shot (showing character 1 and character 2)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Film it again as a close up on character 1</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Film it again as a close up on character 2</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Film BCU's as individual shots when you want to show emotion</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">When needed film mid shots, etc. </span></li>
</ul><span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><b><u>Creating meaning through Continuity</u></b><br />
<br />
Meaning can be created through the use of transitions, sound, lighting, camera movement/position and framing.</span><span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
A selection of techniques are:</span><span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
<b><i>Cross Cutting</i></b> - This is where shots that are from different spaces of the narrative are put together. Overtime audiences have learnt to understand that this action is occurring simultaneously. Cross cutting is often quick and a popular example of this would be in a chase scene. </span><span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
<b><i>Fades</i></b> - Fading in/out of a shot is often used to represent the passing of time</span><span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
<b><i>Wipes</i></b> - Even though wipes are unusual to see, they can be used to make something wacky or lively and is more likely to be seen in a children's tv program or a comical sketch. </span><span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br />
<b><u>How will this help me in future?</u></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I have now learnt the various techniques needed in order to maintain an audiences attention and keep a constant understanding of the story. I will make sure to keep the camera within both the 30 degree rule and 180 degree rule as well as taking a master shot along with a few takes on each shot to make sure one will edit in correctly. Finally i will make sure to shoot a long part of the sequence after setting up the next shot.</span>Latymer Media 2010http://www.blogger.com/profile/12158812812118861790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507418577423351249.post-53834415841816981152010-09-28T09:13:00.000-07:002011-04-05T01:52:11.858-07:00Storyboarding<u>Why are storyboards essential to the film making process?</u><br />
<ul><li>They provide a basic outline which in pre-production allows the director to get the correct feel for the movie</li>
<li>This also helps them to overcome any potential problems before going on set </li>
<li>The storyboard also provides a useful basis when shooting to guide the camera man and actors around the set, helping them know where to stand to avoid colliding with the intended special effects in post-production</li>
<li>It can also help with post-production for the editor to understand what feeling to give the movie and a sense of how the story is meant to fit together</li>
</ul><u>P is for psycho analysis</u><br />
<br />
The storyboard shows us that the film begins with a low angled wide shot of a toilet door in low key lighting. The shot is then mixed to a low angle midshot, slowly tilting up from a mans lower body to see him clutching his hand from a low angle which makes the character seem larger and possibly more dominant. The scene then cuts to an array of possessions which the camera pans across from left to right very slowly. These possessions will reveal details about the character. It then cuts to a close up of a plug hole, down which an alarming amount of blood appears to be flowing. The man in question literally has blood on his hands, a clear metaphor for some form of attack having just taken place. Cutting to a close up of his hands, we see he is bandaging them up. It then cuts to the reflection of his hand, clenching into a fist in the mirror, giving a clear sense of aggression and strength. The camera pulls out and tilts up to show his face turning suddenly to the left of the frame as a sound effect of the door opening is heard. The shot is cut to a midshot of a boy entering, walking from right to left. Cut back to who the audience can only assume is the killer, mid shot. He tucks his gun into his belt and the shot cuts to an extreme close up. This shows the emotion in his eyes deep in shadow to present his dark feelings. We hear him say "bad move kid" as the scene fades to black. After a pause, still in darkness, we hear 2 gunshots.<br />
<br />
The narrative flow of this sequence is established first of all by the shot of the toilet door. This sets the scene and the audience knows where they are without having to have dialogue to spell it out for them. After that, the use of interesting transitions and varied shot types keep the viewer interested as they get more and more detail from every shot. The tension is created through slow pans, low key lighting and the fact that allot of information is still being with held. The final few shots are made more dramatic by speeding up the motions and hiding what truly happens.<br />
<br />
Although i love this sequence and the way in which the tension is built and emotions change, i would add a few things if i were to direct it. First of all i think the shots are too focus on the subject, only looking away once to see his possession's and another time to see blood going down the drain. I think more suspense would be created by looking at the surroundings, such as blood patterns on the floor left by his hand as he entered the room.Latymer Media 2010http://www.blogger.com/profile/12158812812118861790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507418577423351249.post-2814845767039320332010-09-17T01:36:00.000-07:002011-04-05T01:52:47.911-07:00Analysis of my first still<div align="justify"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517798655298788882" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2vTtsRxeTt2XnMKdwWTRJiR2Z0bBZXihkCaTDwvWWS00qT8F5uXW4lC2momTEvbT9fiiEh3x8NIF_5LnjOfuLI8C8x8vuUp9RWkAKga-uacUT5l_He7P_Ukg8Rg565Y9HeakYhyCo3kuo/s320/Eoin.JPG" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 240px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px;" /></div><div align="justify">The shot is an ECU of a young white male who appears to have a sinister smirk on his face. It is a slightly high angle and the lighting is high key. In his dull reflective glasses that cover his eyes, you can see a second white male of similar age cowering away into a corner, hands raised in protection. The closeness of this shot really puts across the boy in shades emotion but also gives a very claustrophobic feel. Partnered with the high key lighting and sense of entrapment given in the reflection, this shot could easily be considered to be in the 'Horror' genre.</div><div align="justify">To achive the effect i used a spotlight on the boy in shades face and stood on a chair at just the right angle to position the second boy in the centre of the glasses reflection.</div><div align="justify">I really like the emotion you get from both characters and the massive feeling of entrapment given from the boy due to the claustrophobic effect of the "frame within a frame" and the fact it's clear he has no where to turn to escape.</div><div align="justify">In hindsight I would have prefered to make the boy in shades seem darker, possibly by wearing a black blazer instead of the childish blue top that can be seen bottom left. Also the setting (due to time restrictions) was chosen to be in a very bright/happy room whereas a darker one would put across the horror aspect much nicer. Finnaly a different pair of glasses with a higher reflective capability without a curved surface would mean that the second boy is both clearer and larger in the shot. However i am very happy with the end result considering i only had 10 mins in which to frame it.</div>Latymer Media 2010http://www.blogger.com/profile/12158812812118861790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507418577423351249.post-33924940087611359482010-09-17T01:18:00.000-07:002011-04-05T01:51:28.184-07:00DYM homework 1<object height="250" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NayznwHw8ug?fs=1&hl=en_GB"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NayznwHw8ug?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="250"></embed></object><br />

Analysis of opening sequence to "The Lion King"<br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="justify">The Walt Disney logo slowly reveals over sounds of the rain forest. Tension builds and is broken by the sun rising over the horizon to traditional African music. The wide open plans of Africa can be seen. Various animals begin to look up to the sky with a sense of purpose. The lack of knowledge of what they are looking at raises tensions further. After a flock of birds is seen to be taking off from a river we see various birds eye view shots of the various animals traveling across beautiful scenery. A giraffe and her child step over a grassy hill into the sunlight and as the shot pans across we can see a large herd of assorted animals traveling together. The giraffe run to join them and more tension rises as the audience now knows that something big is happening where all these animals are traveling to.</div><div align="justify">The next shot shows a tree of ants ECU then the focus changes to a flock of zebras running along. This still promotes the idea of travel but also shows the many layers of the animal kingdom working in close proximity. This is then shown again as we see a shot from the floor of running tiny birds followed by huge elephants, walking just behind. A shot image of comedy comes from one bird avoiding being stepped on as he trails behind the other birds.</div><div align="justify">We then start to see the animals really converging, birds riding on elephants through a river while antelope and zebra run by. The music begins to reach a climax and the audience suspects whatever they've been traveling to is close by now. The camera pans across a huge number of animals to see 'Pide rock' a large table-top mountain. The camera follows a bird to the mountain and lands by a lion standing regally at the edge. We know he is important from the respect given by the bird and his possition, solitary on the rock.</div><div align="justify">A baboon is seen to be separate from the large herd, being made a path by the others for him to walk through. He steps into a beam of light and holds a stick, connoting his spiritual importance and old age, making the audience see him as wise. The music begins to soffen as he climbs the mountain and is given a welcome hug from the important lion, then led to a cute young cub, held by a lioness who appears to be the cub's mother. The baboon plays with the young cub then blesses him with fruit juice and dust of the earth. This furthers his image as a holy man and puts the cub in a very important light.</div><div align="justify">The baboon takes the cub very caringly and carry's him slowly to the edge of the rock. The animals can be seen to stand to attention, pricking thier ears up at what must be the climax of their journey. The music once again builds as the cub is nearing the edge. The baboon hoists him up and the animals all erupt into applause. The audience see's the cub's importance, which is reassuered by the beam of light that falls from the sky onto the cub. The camera pans round to see the cub's face looking slightly confused by the attention causing more comedy. The camera pans away from the big event to the far distance and the words "The Lion King" appear in large red letters.</div>Latymer Media 2010http://www.blogger.com/profile/12158812812118861790noreply@blogger.com0
