Film opening ideas

      These are our 3 treatments in a 25 word pitch

       

     1. Scary thriller about friends who go camping but are met by an unexpected surprise; were they never told not to going into the woods alone?

     2.   Teen movie showing the unfortunate difficulties that life may bring, no one said growing up would be easy, as Sally finds out the hard way.

     3.    Everyone wants the perfect life and perfect family like Mollie Jackson, but behind closed doors is where the truth comes out and the heartache starts...

What we've learnt so far

here is a short video i recorded earlier that explains everything we've been learning in media since September.

My favourite TV drama promo

After hearing about this promo I decided to watch it and I think it is amazing. It is my favourite TV promo at the moment, and I wanted everyone to be able to see it. Enjoy!

Editing

Fade -  This is a transition to or from nothing from colour to black.In my scene there is a slow fade out which is a peaceful ending and the finish is shot is an Aerial shot

Editing

Unfortunately I could not but this clip, but the part I wanted was the limo driving off the bridge.
Slow motion is used here to make a fast action visible. Although it is only shown for a split second you can see that the crash has been slowed down to make it more visible and for dramatic effect.

Editing

Cutting - This clip shows a good use of shot reverse shot. This is when scenes are first shown from on characters point of view, then the others, then back to the first characters

Shot Angles

High Angle Shot - makes a character/object seem smaller and less significant

Low angle shots -  create a sense of confusion and powerlessness to the audience. The added height of the object/character may make it inspire fear and insecurity in the viewer, who is psychologically dominated by the figure on the screen
