Second Day Of Filming

The Second Day Of Filming 

We did the inside shots of the opening sequence on the second day of filming. We did the inside shots because we were unavailable to get the outside shots because it was raining.
This is location 1 and where the opening sequence will start. So we used the script, storyboard and shot list to help us film this location. We changed some shots because they didn't work as well as we hoped and we ended up changing some of the positions of the shots. It was difficult to get the shots we needed with Harry's brother. So most of the shots we extend so we could edit some parts out.

First Day Of Filming!

First Day Of Filming!

Our first day of filming started at our second location and that was the park. Which has the main location for our opening sequence. We did the second location first because it is a outside location and the weather was suitable for the type of setting we wanted. The first location was an inside shot so it could be filmed at any time. We only got a few shots done in the time we had because we underestimated how long it takes to film each shot. When we were filming we realised that some of the shots we planned didn't work, So we had to replace those shots with other ones.

We also had to use small stones to direct the characters and where to stop in shot.

Harry had to climb onto the slide roof to create the establishing shot for the park. This was the highest, reachable part in the park for an establishing near the entrance in which the characters will be walking through. 

Ashley then took a photo of what the establishing shot so we could see if the shot worked. 

Film Locations

Film Locations

Over all we have to shot locations to film our opening sequence. 

The first location is at Jays flat. We chose this location because it fit our opening sequence well. We also chose it because it is convenient with the actors and the type of shots we were going to have.

The second location is of the park where the rest of the shots will be taken. We have decided this park because it is convenient with the type of angles we wanted with the shots. We also chose this park because not many people would go there meaning that we wouldn't be interrupted while filming.

Shot List

Shot List

 

 

The shot list is a more basic and simple version of the storyboard and script. It contains what type of shot it is and a brief explanation and what is in the shot. The shot list helps with ordering what scene is going to go next and is a useful resource to have when filming because it gives the order in which the opening sequence will be shot in.

I did the shot list as a part of my role in the planning process. I used parts of the storyboard and script the help me write the shot list. I did this to make all the script, storyboard and shot list all have the same shot type and story.

Our Script

Script

The script so we have a written copy of what our opening sequence will be. The script is very detailed and includes all the information about the characters and what they will say. It will also describe the type of setting it is in and what the characters expressions will be like. It also shows what the characters will be saying in every shot is well as screen directions. On the right hand side there is  directions on when we will cut the scene.

The script was create by Ashley with input from the rest of the team. This is where we decided the details that we will include in this opening sequence. Ashley printed out a copy for each member of the group so we could all keep track on what we are doing while filming. We also give another copy of the script to the teacher for feedback. 

Our Storyboard

Storyboard



Our storyboard was created to give us a plan of what shots we will be doing in this opening sequence. The story board is an important part to planning any scene in filming. The storyboard also describes what will be happening in the scene and give us a guide line on what angles and what the mise-en-scene should be like.
This was our first attempt at creating a storyboard. As a group we though of ideas that could be put into the storyboard. In a session we created the storyboard. Harry had the role to create the storyboard. So he created it while The rest of the group give ideas and advice on what to put in to the storyboard. On the storyboard we numbered the shot and written what type of shot it is. Then on the right their will be an illustration of what the mise-en-scene will be like. Also on the illustration we put arrow and the stage direction or if it was a camera direction for example, The arrow might represent the camera panning left or the direction in which a character should walk.

Our Opening Sequence Ideas

Our Ideas

We had many ideas towards the opening sequence to our thriller. Most of our ideas followed the same guide line of someone going missing/Being Taken. We had our inspiration for a thriller TV show called 'The Missing' so we wanted to have a similar opening. So the main idea we expanded on was the idea of two brothers going to a park. The older brother will be 16 years old and the younger brother will be 6 years old. When they are at the park the younger brother will Disappear/Been Taken.

We then brainstormed ideas about what the characters are going to be, where the location is, the the overall setting will be. This mind map is our general idea of what our opening will be.  But we will make changes to the mind map as we plan more.

Research Into Film Titles

Research Into Film Titles

There are many different films titles which are  used in the opening sequences of the thriller genre. One example is 'The Missing' opening sequence title. The title sequence used in 'The Missing' goes against the conventions of a thriller title sequence. The sequence starts with a white background and the title appears in the centre of the background in plain black writing. There is white noise behind the end title. This is different to most thriller openings because they have used a white background and a dark font colour, when most thrillers would use dark colours to symbolizes their thriller. 'The Missing' title has used a plain font style which is also different to many other thriller titles. The title comes up at the end of the the title sequence. 

Another film which makes good use of titles is 'Se7en'. They use a typical thriller theme towards their title sequence. The title 'Se7en' comes up at the end of the title sequence. At the start of the title sequence they show credit to the actors and directors who made the will. They show these names in the same font as the main title. While they are show the titles different images appear in the background. They do this to create enigma codes. They show close ups of different objects to create enigma codes and make the audience question what it is. They use a creepy and ominous theme to set the mood in this title sequence in this thriller. They also have ominous music in the background as the titles come up to create an atmosphere while the titles show up.

The Missing

The Missing

The Missing is a British television thriller which was made in 28 October 2014. It was created by director Tom Shankland. The main actor in this drama is James Nesbitt. The story of this British thriller is that a family go on holiday in France and while in a crowed pub the son goes missing and the father is looking to find him. Me and my group have been inspired by this television thriller to create something similar as an opening. We will design our opening to make it similar to The Missing.

 The Missing opening sequence starts with the father and the son in a crowed pub while the father is trying to watch to football game on the TV. This is when the son disappears. This happens by his father being distracted by the football game on TV. The father is then looking frantically for his son.

We have taken a few ideas from the thriller. For example we will take a the idea of someone going missing. We will also adapt on the idea of the distraction and how one person is distracted long enough for the other person to go missimg.

Theorists In Media

Theorists In Media

Todorov Theory

Todorov theory was that all story's follow the same plot line or path.

There is 5 steps in the path.

1. Equilibrium - This will show the story as happy and calm and everything is as it should be.
2. Disequilibrium - This is where there will be a disruption in the calm atmosphere. 
3. Recognition of the disrupted - This is where the characters realises the problem.
4. Restored Order -  This is where the characters attempt to restore the damage that the problem has caused.
5. Equilibrium Once Again - This is the final step, this is where the equilibrium is brought back again.

Levi-Strauss Theory

Levi-Strauss is theory was that all narratives could be reduced down to binary opposites.

For Example

• Weak and Strong 
• Old and New
• Light and Dark
• Peace and War

Propp Theory

This theory was created by Vladmir Propp. His theory was about the typical characters in the story. 

The typical characters were:

• The Hero - A character that seeks something (main protagonist)
• The Villain - Who opposes the hero and try's to block him seeking something 
• The Donor - Who provides the hero with something
• The Dispatcher - Who sends the hero on the quest 
• The Helper - Who helps the hero
• The False Hero - Who disrupts the hero's success 
• The Princess - Acts as the reward for the hero and a plot of the villains 
• Her father - Who acts to reward the hero.

All these theories will fit into our opening sequence.  But Levi-Strauss's theory of binary opposites will affect our opening sequence most because the binary opposites play a big part in a thriller opening. For example dark being the antagonist and the light being the protagonist. Another theory which will fit into  the opening sequence is Propp's theory. This will fit because the opening sequence will included the 'hero' or main protagonist. The theory what wouldn't fit an opening sequence as well as the other theories is Todorov theory. It wouldn't fit into our opening sequence because this theory is meant to fit a whole film not just the opening sequence.

They don't have a target audience.

Independent film companies are more suited towards my opening sequence. They are more suited to our opening sequence because their films have low budgets and our opening sequence will not fit American company because their budget is to high

Analysing The Questionnaire

I asked 10 people to answer my questionnaire and the majority of people who answered my questionnaire said that enigma codes are the most important. This means that I will add more enigma codes into my opening sequence. I will put other convections into my opening sequence but I will put more enigma codes in. 70% said enigma codes but diegetic and non-degetic and narrative have 40% which means i will also include this into my opening sequence.

The 10 people who have answered my questionnaire said that the title of the thriller show at the beginning of the opening sequence. I will now include my title at the start of the thriller rather than the middle or the end. Titles are an important part to an opening sequence, so it was useful that I found out when the titles should show.

The 10 people I asked the questionnaire said that the colours in the opening scene should be normal and not be monochromatic. I will now leave out monochromatic colours from the opening sequence or I will not put the whole scene in a monochromatic colour and only a small part of the opening.

60% of the 10 people who answered my questionnaire said that the main protagonist should be in the opening sequence. I will try to include the main protagonist in my opening sequence if not, I will include the antagonist in the opening.

90% of the 10 people I asked said that they think music is important to the opening sequence. I will include music that builds tension in the opening sequence. The music will fit the atmosphere to create tension. This question was also a opening question and most of the responses said that it creates tension.

This question was a multiple choice and the two films which got the most answers was Silence Of The Lambs and Shutter Island. I will make my opening similar to both opening sequences. I will make my opening similar to Silence Of The Lambs because it fits in with thriller and horror genre. 

Codes and Convections of a Thriller

Codes and Convection's of a Thriller

Most of the convection's are based on editing, sound, lighting, cinematography and mise-en scene. Some convection's of a thriller are:

• Diegetic and non-diegetic sound - This is used to show what is going on in the scene. They also do this create tension in some scenes. Some diegetic sound will cause audience to think that something bad will happen soon. Diegetic sound is sound which is visible on the screen. Non-diegetic sound is sound which has been edited into the scene

• Narration - They do this to describe what the character is thinking and also sometimes to describe location.

• Atmospheric music- The atmospheric music adds tension to the scene 

• Flashbacks- This is used in thrillers to create a feeling of confusion with the audience. But the main reason is to show a characters background and it will some of the enigma codes. 

• Low Key Lighting- This is used to create a dark atmosphere that can be seen as scary or mysterious. The lighting will reflect on to the main character. This is also use to create tension within the scene.

• Fast Cuts- Fast cuts are used in thrillers to increase the feeling of tension and to create suspense within the audience.

• Enigma codes- They are a big prat to the codes and convection's. They are used as a mystery for the audience to try and work out what has or will happened. 

• Use of camera- Different camera uses can create different atmosphere for different scenes. In a thriller genre they mostly use close ups to show facial expressions of the characters. They use medium close up to show the body expressions of the character. Another use of camera is tracking. The use tracking to make the seen look fast paced, this also links in with fast cuts. They do this to make the audience curious as they are unsure what will happen next.

A Short Analysis of 'Parity - AS Media Thriller Opening'

A Short Analysis of 'Parity - AS Media Thriller Opening'

It starts with showing the logos of the production company, They do this in a transition to make it look like it is on a spotlight. It then shows the title of the thriller and then fades out. After that it is darkness and a suddenly diegetic sound of a man screaming then close up of a mans face. It then pans down to show he is holding a knife and it then pans to a body leaned against the wall. It then shows us that they are in a bath room from the props and the location. The man then rush's around searching and then him washing his face in the mirror. It then shows a quick flash back to when he killed the man, in the mirror.  It then shows him moving the body to the toilet, then he also cleans up the blood. Most of the scenes in this opening so far has created enigma coeds for the audience. After that he picks up the knife and leaves. Then the main characters voice comes over and narrators for a short bit. All through this they use monochromatic colours such as blue,grey and white 

I have researched this opening because it has good use off diegetic and non-diegetic sound.  

A Short Analysis of 'AS MEDIA Thriller Opening Sequence - Inner Evil'

A Short Analysis of 'AS MEDIA Thriller Opening Sequence - Inner Evil'

It beings with a few company logos to introduce this opening sequence. The next shot is the main character lying on the floor. It then pans up to her head an it shows that there is blood on her head, which suggest that she is dead. The next shot explains it to be a dream by showing her waking up and looking distort about the dream. It then shows her getting dressed and going to the bath room and drinking a glass of water. As she is going down the stairs a title appears and fades. The she picks up a key and walks out of the front door. There is a close up of the key and then a flash back to someone killing her with the key. This is done to create enigma codes. They do another flash back in the next scene showing some one grabbing her. It then shows that some one is following her as she is walking down a path, when she looks behind no-one is there. When she turns around the person appears but the camera is blurred to create tension, when the person gets closer it shows that it is her. This creates enigma codes for the audience. The last shot was the title of the opening sequence 'Inner Evil'.

I have chosen this for my research because it creates a lot of enigma codes.

A Short Analysis of 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' Opening Sequence

A Short Analysis of 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' Opening Sequence 

The opening scene show a old barbed wire fence and a mist background. The title of the film then appears in between the fence. The background music sounds like a child's music box which adds enigma codes to the scene. It then shows a shot of a corn field and other crops to set the scene that it is in a farm. Then it shows an establishing shot of the farm house. It uses monochromatic colour's such as grey and black to create an atmosphere. It then shows a medium close up of a man knocking on the farm houses door, this creates enigma codes like 'why is he there'. The man then walks away from the house and looks around at his surroundings. It then show animals moving away from the house and it also shows a barn in the back ground. It then goes into a close up of a bee hive in the comer of the house, which will create enigma codes. Then the final scene shows that there is someone looking at him through the upstairs window they use a match-on-action shot to show the man looking at the person in the window. All through this scene they only use non-diegetic sound. 

I have chosen this for my research because it has a good use of monochromatic colour's that create tension and enigma codes.

A Short 'Slience Of The Lambs' Opening Scene Analysis

A short 'Slience Of The Lambs' opening scene analysis

The scene starts with a establishing shot of a forest. The camera then pans down to a girl on her own in the forest. This is a typical opening for a horror thriller genre. They show the girl to be vulnerable by using a high angle shot looking down at her climbing the hill. This camera angle makes the girl look smaller and makes her look like a potential victim of a murder. It then shows her running through the forest. This is done to make it look like she is running away from the murder. It then shows us that she is working with the FBI by a man saying 'He wants to see you in his office'. It then shows four signs saying 'Hurt', 'Agony', 'Pain' and 'Love-It' which foreshadows the film. It then show her going into the compound walking through the rooms and getting into the lift. The have put taller men in the lift to make her look smaller and more vulnerable.

I have researched this opening because  it has a good, typical setting for a thriller.It also subverts convention of a normal thriller by making the woman a part of the FBI and not a victim.

Analysis of 'The Secret Window' opening sequence

Analysis of ‘The Secret Window’ opening sequence

The opening sequence is taken from ‘The Secret window’ starring Johnny Depp and written and directed by Paul Kepp.

It starts with a close up of Johnny Depp in a car looking forward and then a voice says ‘turn around’. He starts to turn around and then starts to drive towards to motel. He then rushes in towards the reception and takes one of the room keys. He gets back in the car and drives towards to room. He enters to room and his wife with another man.

This film is a Psychological thriller which follows the character of Mort, played by Johnny Depp. In psychological thriller they make certain editing and sound techniques to create suspense. They also set up many enigma codes to keep the audience interested. They also show a taste of thing to come to make the audience keep watching. In some psychological thrillers they try to create a false sense of security to create suspense for the audience.

The opening sequence is made of 3 main long scenes.  They use camera differently in each. It opens up with a medium close up of Johnny Depp face using a direct gaze towards the camera. They use this to make 'Mort' look intimidating, and to create enigma codes like 'why is he there'. This medium closes up last almost the whole scene but at the end it goes into a long/establishing shot of the motel, which Mort is driving to. They do this to show the audience where he is and where the location is. Mort then walks into the reception to take the keys. This is medium/long shot and continues all through the scene. It is a medium/long shot for Mort walking in to the reception and it is the same for the man when he walks out of the room. They also use panning for the camera tracking to show Mort walking into the reception. The next shot is a medium shot of Mort getting into the car and start to drive to the hotel room. We then see a POV shot of Mort as he is driving towards the room the POV shot shows him going to the room and opening the door. They do this to show what the character would be like in this situation then as he is opening the door it turns into a medium shot of the room and his wife in the bed. The camera then tracks back out of the room to the outside and then fades to another scene.

In the opening ‘splash screen of Columbia’ there is the diegetic sound of window wipers in the background creating a sound bridge with the scene. Without seeing the scene the sound could also be interpreted as heartbeat, which will create suspension with the audience. After when Mort is in the car a voice tells him to turn around, they make this dialogue sound like there is another person in the car to create more enigma codes. They then show that the voice is inside his head because he is the only one in the car. They add this to create tension for the audience. It then plays the sound of the tyres driving across the floor. They have added this to create suspense and to show that he is angry. The next sound would be near the end; this is when Mort enters the room. It is a non-diegetic sound as he opens the door to create a sudden and tense atmosphere for the audience. When he is in the room the sound becomes distorted and blurs out the conversations they are having. In all of that you can only hear Mort shout. The blurred sound represents Mort's mind at the time, suggesting that he is having a break down. As the camera leaves the room there is a similar non-diegetic sound as it does when it enters. When the camera leaves it then begins starts by playing one note with the orchestral music which sets the mood of what happened, as the scene fades out which will leave the audience with an enigma code of 'what's going to happen'

As far as the mise-en-scene is concerned, the first scene one of the main things what stick out would be the ring on his finger which suggests that he is married and that might be one of the reasons why he is there. Another thing in the scene would be the window wiper; it is one of the only things you can concentrate on so it creates tension for the scene. In this next scene it shows him driving towards the 'Motel', the motel sign is red as well as all the doors. This shows monochromatic colours because they only use dark colours and red. They have made the motel sign red to suggest danger and lust in the scene, they do this to show the mood of the character or atmosphere, in this opening sequence they are setting the mood to be depressing and miserable. In the next scene it shows Mort taking the keys from the reception and show the audience that he want to go fast.  Another thing in the background is the weather, they have purposely made it cold and rainy to show the mood of the main character. They have done the same with the time of day to show the same reasons as the weather.

They use different editing techniques in the opening scene one of which is juxtaposition. They use juxtaposition by showing the outside to be harsh, icy and cold and inside the motel to be warm and welcoming. They also use editing techniques such as match on action. They use this when Mort is looking at the motel. He is staring at the motel and in the same scene when the car is driving to it shows what he is looking at. They also show a reaction shot when Mort walks in to the room where his wife is.  They pan out of the main scene which is his wife I bed, to look at the reactions of Mort. The last editing technique is the eye line shot. They show this in the first scene, where Mort is looking at the motel sign. The sequence is cleverly editing to make the audience aware and Mort’s erratic behaviour.

In conclusion I think this is a typical thriller opening, because it fits most of the codes and convections. One way they did this is including lots of enigma codes. For example ‘Why he there ’and ‘what is he going to do’. They also meet all of the typical editing and camera convections by including a list of shots and editing techniques such as juxtaposition. They also make great use of sound in this thriller by making a narrator and including sound bridges to create enigma codes  

Analysis of a Saul Base opening sequence

Analysis of the Opening Title Sequence of Vertigo

This is one of the many opening title sequences by Saul Bass. Saul Bass also created the movie poster for this film. In the start of this opening title sequence it is a close up of a woman's face and then going into a extreme close up of her eyes and her looking around. Saul Bass use's titles well in this opening sequence because the titles appear in a good position on the screen. The whole sequence pauses as the titles come up. The whole scene goes into a red blood like tint while it is still on the extreme close up on the eye. Then the title of the movie comes out of the eye. Then one swirl appears in the eye and then the eye disappears and then its only the swirl on the screen. Then after the swirls appear it then fades back into the eye. Saul Bass has created a lot of enigma codes for the audience. He has made his title sequence to fit the thriller genre by inserting these enigma codes.

  

The Saul Bass Research

Saul Bass Research

Saul Bass was an American graphic designer and academy award winning film maker. He is mostly know for his opening title sequences, corporate logos and film poster. He was born in May 8, 1920 and died on April 25, 1996 at the age of 75 years old. He designed logos for company's like 'United Airlines' and 'Bell System'.

But he is mainly know for his film title sequences such as 'Psycho', 'Exodus' and 'Goodfellas'. Bass said one of his main goals is to "try to reach for a simple visual phrase that tells you what picture is all about and evokes the essence of the story". His movie titles opening have changed how film titles are today. He used his opening sequences in a different type of way than other openings. He saw his opening sequences as a art work. His opening sequences have effected films today. Films like 'X-men:First Class' and 'Catch Me If You Can'

He also created movie posters for such films as 'The Man with the Golden Arm' and 'Vertigo'. His work with movie posters inspired numerous other poster and graphics designers to follow a similar design type.

Continuity Finished video

Continuity Exercise 

This is the finished continuity video. 

Evalution 

I was overall very pleased on how this continuity edit turned out. I was proud that our continuity went well because it was the first time my group used the camera. I think my group worked well with the camera and we learned all the basic shots used in film. We used the 180 degree rule to film some of the shots. 180 degree shot is when the camera angle is maintained in within a 180 angle. We also used match on action shot in the conversation between character 1 and 2. The match on Acton shot is when one shot cuts to another portraying the action of the subject in the first shot. We also used shot reverse shot in the conversation between character 1 and 2. Shot reverse is a technique used in conversation or to make characters look at objects/ character.

We did have some problems with the video as one on of the main one was that there was a beep in the middle of one of shots. And we only noticed it once we were editing. If my group were to do it again we would add more dialogue talking on the phone about the homework. So it would be more clear why they we meeting in room 13.

Editing The continuity Piece

Editing

To edit the continuity piece we had to use software on the Macs called 'I movie'. Two of my group members, Jay and Ashley, have Mac books. So we did the editing of the continuity out of school. Me and Jay did the first half of the editing which included location 1 and 2. Harry and Ashley did the second half which include location 3 and 4. There was a problem with the video we noticed while editing. There a random beep noise in the middle of one of our shots. Once we finished our editing we put both half's together and finished our continuity piece.

Fliming the Continuity Edit

When we started filming, we had to follow the storyboard in a sequence. There were 4 locations we had to film at. The first scene we had to film was an outside location.We had to show charater 1 calling charater 2 and asking him to meet him at room 13. We include shots such as close up, medium and long shot. The second scene was a computer room. We filmed charater 2 in the computer room answering the phone to charater 1 and having a conversation about where to meet him. The third location was charater 2 walking to room 13. This location was only 3 shots long. It was charater 2 walking around the hall way and opening the door to room 13. The final location is room 13 this is where the two character have a conversation about the recent homework. The first time we started recorded we were pressing the wrong button and we weren't recording at all. This was because we didn't practice with the cameras. But in our free lessons my group got together and filmed it again.

Working With the Cameras

Working With the Cameras

This was the first time we were using the cameras. We were going to learn how to record different shots and learn how to do basic with the camera. But we encountered some problem with the camera. The problem with the camera was that the battery was broken and couldn't be replaced. once we over come that problem, we came across another problem with the tripod. The tripod clip was broken so the camera wouldn't attach on the tripod. We fixed this problem by getting a new tripod clip. By the time we fixed all the problems we did not have enough time to practice with the cameras.

Preliminary exercise

                                                  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-action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.

Main task

                         The titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minute
