Evidence of Filming/Editing

Individual Edit- Amnesia

This is my Individual Edit, overall i think it went really well with a few minor problems. On the day we film the brainwashing scene, and it went really well however there were a couple of shots were the lighting could of been improved. When it came to putting it together on final cut pro and colour grading i was confident with my skills on the piece of software, the main difficulties was to tackle problem of colour grading. As the brainwashing scene i felt was too dark to use colour grading effectively, however when it comes getting back into a group well be able to make it look a lot better, because we will have more ideas.

Comparing it to other AS level media opening scenes to compare to the level 4, we could have a lot of improvement. A the level 4 opening has a good crisp picture throughout, this gave them a lot to play with when putting the titles in. We didn't think about the titles as much as we should off when it came to filming the scenes.

Location Shots

 Location Shots

 The Photographs above, is the typical setting for a Thriller film. The Top Left is South Bank Bridge, which is in the heart of the City and perfect environment for a Thriller. The Top Right is of the MI5 building, which could relate to a political/ Espionage based film.

Below are a couple of Locations that could be a possible location or setting to film my opening Thriller scene. As you can see the shots are either a dark setting with a very much urban appeal to it, a Typical scene  for a Crime Thriller. Also there are shots that could be use for follow the character for my opening scene.

Indivual: Idea Presentation

The Plot
It was a hard decision choosing the right Sub-genres for my opening scene. However considering the fact that we don't had a huge budget. So in the end i chose a Crime Thriller, and the Scene that i'am going to use is Planning a Robbery. Its simple because you can restricted to the one room, however you can go outside to change the scene. The scene starts of in a dark box room. With coffee cup and empty rubbish, on one wall, it is filled to the brim with maps, routes , photographs of banks and strangely and man right in the center. The Veteran is standing in front of it with a cup of coffee. After that the character exchange some dialogue including some hints and pointers of what is going to happen the next day, then the Veteran reveals that its only about robbery a bank that its also about revenge. The second scene is of the Veteran standing in front of a big tall building, and the scene ends with him walking in.

Characters
There are two main character, with no names i would describe by the amount of experience they had in the business, one a Rookie and the other a Veteran. The Rookie, is a naive and impulsive character. Feeds on the fact that he thinks that he is made for the business.
The Veteran is clever. Wearing a plain suit he looks like he keeps himself to himself. Throughout both scenes, the Veteran face is not meant to be fully shown.
Of cause you will have the Natural Extras in the clips due to daytime London.

The Collage 

Inspiration: Films/Directors

Homeland is a Drama/Thriller TV series. The reason for is being my main inspiration is the main character Carrie, who plays a obsessive role with Sgt Brody. She has the same room with the rubbish and most importantly the wall that includes maps, photographs, newspaper articles etc.

Directed by: Quentin Tarantino

Directed by: David Fincher

Falling Down Foley: Tom, Nicole Calum and Molly

This is are Falling Down Foley re-make. We got given a clip with many different types sound. We had to draw up a Timeline, and record the sounds coming and going out, the section that we recorded from was 30-2.30 Seconds. Below are pictures of the Timeline we created. After we got all of the sounds we, used Garage Band and downloaded the sounds we needed of Sound Bible, and we put them back into place. This help my skills using Garage Band increase dramatically and know what type of sound we include for are Thriller opening scene.
