Learning experience

From our experience from making a production logo we found it extremely stressful but we found a way through it as a team and now we have produced what we think is a good logo if we were to do this again we would work as more of a team from the beginning .

Learning Experience

When creating the production logo I learnt about how to make the layers on photoshop move around to where i wanted them. I also learnt how to make the music get higher and lower at the points i wanted. With the font i learnt how to make the font 'glow' to create more of an effect. It was very stressful but we worked it out together fixing all the problems.

Potentual storyline to our thriller

 

-Opening credits show still images of objects like guns, cigarettes and traffic lights 

-Camera zooms out from the girls eye

Ideas for thriller

- Opening sequence, images of guns, blood, writing on a
computer screen and newspapers, drugs, cigarettes
- Dark lighting
- Suspicious music
- Handheld camera and jump cuts
- Extreme close ups
- Mise en scene such as guns and drugs
- Black costume
- Dark voices if any voices at all
- Sound effects like gun shots and piercing noises

Warner bros logo

this gave a soft impression with the rippling gold image, it also gave a small dramatic influence as the music had a dramatic feel

dreamworks logo

this again gave an impression of a child friendly atmosphere as there is a child on the moon fishing

pixar logo

gave the impression of a child friendly film and it had a cartoon animated lamp

20th century fox

this gives an impression of big dramatic atmosphere due to the big lights, sound and logo

The recruit thriller

How does it fit the genre?
- Dark lighting
- Fast paced
- Masculine characters
- Creepy sound


What conventions are used?
- Drinks, martini's
- Close ups and fast pace
- Costume is suits are shirts
- Titles were  mainly shots from the computer and newspapers
- Font was rigid

Likes and dislikes?
- The characters were good looking
- Like the camera angles
- Good mise en scene
- Liked the dark voices, made it more serious

let him have it!

the titles were all shown before any pictures where shown
towards the end of the title sequence we could hear a bomb or two going off
this would be to set the scene before the pictures are actually shown
the way that they did this would mean it would give us no clue to kind of genre this film could be until the bombs sounded asa it could gives us the impression of war.
no characters were introduced.

Murder by numbers

Genre- thriller crime with a hint of action
was a sort of hybrid
characters young think they know it all
kill themselves?
strange beginning could be showing the ending at the beginning?
the sounds starts before the characters can be seen
a lot of angels to make the scene more intense
titles plain straight to the point like the character Cassie Mayweather
they also fitted well in to the shots especially the shot of the two boys kneeling on the floor

Thriller conventions

preliminary Task

The problems with our preliminary task 

- our camera shots were off on our continuity editing 

- there were some jumps in our clip where the scenery changed to much

- some of the lighting changed when we did different scenes giving a different feel

 

shot reverse Shot

Shot reverse shot or shot/countershot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character often off-screen, and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

match on action

Cutting on action or matching on action refers to a film editing technique where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. Although the two shots may have actually been shot hours apart from each other, cutting on action gives the impression of continuous time when watching the edited film. By having a subject begin an action in one shot and carry it through to completion in the next, the editor creates a visual bridge which distracts the viewer from noticing the cut or noticing any slight continuity error between the two shots.

A variant of cutting on action is a cut in which the subject exits the frame in the first shot and then enters the frame in the subsequent shot. The entrance in the second shot must match the screen direction and motive rhythm of the exit in the first shot.

180* rule

The 180° 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. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.

Continuity Editing

creating continuity of space, time and action so that there is a smooth logical flow of action from shot to shot within scene :)
