Q4 please re-do in blog.
The task:
For this preliminary production we were given about a two weeks to plan and create a 30 second clip including things like the 180' rule, match on action and also lines of dialogue between two people. We set the scene in a bedroom and worked our way down where the protagonist sat down on a dining table and spoke to her late sister. we ending the clip a blur and the protagonist speaking her mind.

Our clip included many of the camera techniques and we had also been able to embed many rules. We included many enigma codes, match on actions aswel as combining it with the narrative in order to create suspense. Additionally We used many shots such as close ups, extreme close ups, medium shots and even long shots in order to identify and suture the roles from the narrative. we kept the 180* rule in mind at all times in order for the production to flow and keep the narrative relevant with each shot. Furthermore the angles were great too as they made a clearer and more broad view of the narrative and what's going on, as well as enhancing the enigma code by only showing certain elements. the use of panning allows the viewer to become more interactive and involved with the scene and the narrative, moreover it allows them to make quick inferences about the narrative without having dialogue. The fact that we kept the camera shot on the clock also reinforces the theme of delusion from the narrative as it steadily paces from the shot.
EBI:
during the production a human error had occurred, we forgot to turn the mic on, however we dealt with the situation in a reasonable manner and did not give up. We needed to make the dialogue scene a bit better. By this i mean that you could not hear the sound of the characters speaking clearly and so it made it quite difficult for the audience to hear the characters speaking. Also, during this scene, when the microphone had turned off and so you couldnt hear anything and so we had to do a voiceover however, in the end this turned out to be okay as it fitted the scence and flowed throughout. In my opinon, I don’t think the storyboard helped to be honest, but it brought our ideas that little bit to life when planning and we were more motivated to get out and film.
I think we could of made better use of the ‘lighting’ aspect of CLAMPS, but the real life lighting and everyday life shots added a sense of realism to it. We wanted to make the actor aspect of clamps and makeup is very natural- so she is in her pyjamas wearing no make-up. The genre was psychological thriller, and although there was a short range of instrumental sounds available on iTunes I think it suited well.
How is editing used to create drama and tension in the opening scene? (12Marks)
Many aspects of editing create an enigma code and a mood escalating to tension. In particular the opening scene creates tension because as it goes slowly and escalates by getting quicker. This element created in post-production adds an enigma code of tension and anxiousness. The sound of the water outside was played louder than the diagetic sounds inside such as the footsteps which could emphasise the dramatic build up to the climax, in this case the meeting between the two men. Furthermore the extra lighting on the mans face causes us to identify with him as we can see his facial expressions and can relate to his feelings and emotions, this allows us to suture into his role during the narrative.
The low key chiaroscuro straight away foreshadows a negative trail of events, this also generates tension in the narrative. As the clip progresses in the opening scene the pace of the camera and movement of the characters was in slow motion, they possible protagonist was slowly followed by the camera creating tension as we would expect something sinister about the narrative and characters however, something unexpected could appear with such sensitive motion.
