PRODUCTION: Evaluation of Rough Cut 1

CHRISTMAS TASK

rough cut evaluation

I strongly believe my groups rough cut is in the order we hope it to be in and that i beleive is the most important thing.
l we got all the shots we needed in our final rough cut. looking at are shots , i believe we have included some very good ones , for example when we did a close up of the main character (NOAH~) this will hopefully introduce the character.

this is the close up shot of te that he character

different shots sets different things for example we set our scenery by doing a long shot of the location were the majority of the events in the title sequence will happen.

Lastly, there is not much sound in our rough cut because after all it is not the final video, we hope to introduce sound effects/music at later time

On Friday 4th December , we will shoot the majority of the title sequence shots which will be located in Downshill Park and Lordship Recreation Ground in Tottenham. We used our media lesson of 3hours to shoot these scenes. We also revisted Tottenham Hale to shoot some scenes. 

The shots that were completed today were: 

1. Shot 7 - Terrell looking down from flats ( we didn't not have access to flats so we did an alternative angle to make it look similar)

3. Shot 14 - Close up of Terrell running out of breath using a fig rig

4. Shot 15 - Terrell stops and gasps for air

1. Shot 9 - Terrell walking through the park

2. Shot 10 - Terrell sitting on the bench thinking really hard

3. Shot 11 - Terrell staring into the camera with bewilderment

RESEARCH ANALYSING TITLE SEQUENCE FROM CHOSEN GENRE

 Our group has chosen to do drama as our genre for our title sequence. below i will be analysing three different movies title sequences with the same genre type (Drama). The three films i have decided on are The godfather, The forest Gump and Slumdog millionaire.

The Godfather 


The Godfather title sequence from Luiza Santos on Vimeo.

Macro elements

• Storyline - Based around a powerful Italian-American crime family of Don Vito Corleone. The youngest son joins the Mafia and becomes highly involved in violence and betrayal. The son attempts to maintain a normal relationship with his wife Kay as he is drawn deeper into the family business. 

• Key themes : Power, Violence, Money

• Characters (main) : Vito Corleone , Michael Corleone, Santino “Sonny” Corleone , Peter Clemenza, Tom Hagen, Kay Adams-Corleone, Frederico “Fredo” Corleone, Capt. McCluskey, Jack Woltz, Barzini, Sollozzo, Tessio, Connie, Carlo, Cuneo etc.

Micro elements

• Use of camera - In the beginning of the film, there is a close up of a man explaining what happened to his daughter and his view on America. As he continues to explain, the shot now turns into a over shoulder shot from the person who the man is talking to; we are now exposed to another person in the scene assuming it was just the man explaining to the screen. We are now exposed to the scenery which is an office, this shot has become a medium shot.
• Sound - We are presented with diegetic sound of the dialogue between the two men.
• Mise-en-scene: We are presented with a blur of chairs and brown wooden furniture in what seems to be an office; as the dialogue continues to happen we get a closer picture of the location which is Don Corleone's office. The props such as telephone and a desk confirm that it is also an office

 The Forrest Gump

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7voy1vit6Y

Macro elements

• Storyline - A man called Forrest Gump grew up being content and not disadvantaged due to his mum. He lives a restricted life even though he is a college football star. He goes off and fights in Vietnam and he inspires people with his childlike optimism. But the person he cares about the most is his childhood love Jenny who is difficult to save. 
• Key themes: Love, Destiny vs. Coincidence, Death
• Characters: Forrest Gump, Mrs Gump, Young Forrest, Doctor, Young Elvis Presley,  Louise, Jenny, Elderly Woman, Barber , Nurse etc.

Micro elements

• Use of camera - We see the location straight away. The camera follows a feather moving throughout the location until the feather reaches Forrest. The shots vary from medium, long and close up shots.
• Sound - Non-diegetic sound is played, the music is graceful and smooth which correlates with the movement of the feather and sets the tone for the film.
• Mise-en-scene - We are set from a high angle of the feather floating in the air near the top of a church which proceeds to the bottom of the church. The feather then proceeds into a busy road where we see a pedestrian and a car , subsequently the feather passes low on the floor but lands on Forrest's foot and we see him picking up this feather and putting it in his briefcase. The movement of the feather in the air to the landing on Forrest's foot shows the significance of the feather and was almost heaven sent; as it passed many things but decided to finish its journey on Forrest's foot.

Slumdog millionaire title sequence

Macro elements

• Storyline - An 18 year old Jamal Malik goes on the Indian version of "Who wants to be a millionaire?" and has a flashback on how he got to this point. When Jamal was young, his mother died and him and his brother Salim survived on the streets of Mumbai. Salim turns to crime to solve his problems while Jamal finds small jobs until he lands on the game show.
• Key themes: Money, violence, time and love.
• Characters: Jamal, Salim, Latika, Sergeant Srinivas, Prem, Police Inspector, Jamal's mother etc.

Micro elements

• Use of camera - The camera shots vary as they show the different stages of Jamal's life. Majority of the shots are medium long and long shots. There are a few extreme and close up shots to show the intensity and the feelings of the shots. The title sequence works from the present to the past to show his life experiences.
• Sound - The sound used is diegetic as we hear people calling Jamal's name and Jamal on the game show conversing with the man. We hear screams and cheers as Jamal answers the questions correctly.
• Mise-en-scene - The settings move from the game show, to the slums of India where Jamal grew up. This scenes are effective to showing us how Jamal made it from nothing and worked hard to be where he is. The settings dont follow chronological order as we have to work our way backwards.
