For our task we need to do research to get ideas and to make sure that we understand the boundaries of our ideas due to them being sensitive to some people.
To make a opening that included a psychopathic girl this could be seen as us discriminating against mental health which we are not doing and no not want to look as if we are.

Lighting

High Key Lighting :                 
 I like this use of lighting because it makes me look more ghost like, by drowning shadows and colours out my face.

Backlighting :






This creates a mysterious effect, by not being able to see my face this builds a tension of 'who is that' .
 I could use this before or to introduce a character.





Natural Lighting:





This natural lighting was too bright, compared to what it should have been.






Artificial Lighting :

Artificial lighting doesn't do much for the genre of thriller as it makes me look quite natural and gives of a theme of normality.

Chiaroscuro Lighting:
This lighting makes me looks scary and goes well with the genre of thriller / horror .

Task Two - Texual analysis using 'Art of the title'

Where we filmed out task.

The room was a store cupboard, which was very dark. We made the room darker by covering the windows so the room was pitch black. We then got a tiny light and used that to give the flickering spotlight effect in our film.

Q6

What I did well:

I think that me as an individual helped the group a lot with the editing as a picked up on it quickly. This helped us speed up the process of editing as I could show Shannon and Olivia how to do the editing. I also did the titles on our short film, this made the presentation look better and emphasized the film. Overall we worked as a team on this short film so it is hard to individually pick out what we did well. As we all helped and added ideas into our film.

Shot Types

 Close up : a movie or television shot in which some part of the subject or  the head of an actor, fills the entire frame.

 

 

Extreme close up :  A photograph or a movie shot in which the subject is tightly framed and shown at a relatively large scale.

 

 

Shot/Reverse shot : where one character is shown looking at another character 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.

 

 

  An establishing shot : is usually the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place. It is usually a very wide shot or extreme wide shot.

 

 

High angle shot : where the camera looks down on the subject from a high angle. High-angle shots can make the subject seem vulnerable or powerless when applied with the correct mood, setting, and effects.

 

 

Low angle shot : is a shot from a camera angle positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eye line, looking up. Psychologically, the effect of the low-angle shot is that it makes the subject look strong and powerful.

 

 

Tilt shot : is where the camera is tilted,

often used to portray psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed.

 

 

Wide shot : typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings.

 

 

 

 

Q5

I asked another group for their feedback on my preliminary task, this is what Ben said :


"Good use of score, which helps build tension. The lighting and props helped to contribute to the mise-en-scene. There was no notable continuity errors, which helped the audience to stay immersed in the short film with a good story line."
