Planning - Callsheet (By Charlie Austin and Toby Saddleton)

Definitely, Maybe - Analysis by Toby Saddleton

(40 seconds in) - The envelope that is adressed to 'Mr William Hayes' is dropped to the table and sound of it hitting the table. The envelope gives us quite a lot of detail as it says 'delieverd by carrier' with a return adress along with the selisiters name, this information lets us know as views that the characters is going through some sort of devorce and therefore lets us know that he is going through a rough patch.

 (42 Seconds in) - We see that William Hayes has a nice office and gives the impression that he is a hard working man as his office is rather high up and is on a corner along with a lovely view of what appears to be New York City. We get an insite with what he does for a living as the signes behind him are used in the advertising industry. The stationary on his desk also gives the impression that he is a rather busy worker due to there being many pens and pencils laying around. His desk is aswell is rather shiny so it might reflect that he is a rather wealthy man. William is also looking like a high business like man as he looks rather formal with his appreance (Top button done up, tie up high, sleeves un-rolled)

 The lights that are in the background have some sort of lampshade over them, which could show that the company he is working for has a massive income in terms of money and to the right there seems to be some fairly bright coulors, even though the camera isn't focused on it, it would look like some sort of painting that could be used as decorations and make the offices look modern.

(1:20 and on wards) So here we see William Hayes walking out of the building he works in, and already he has his top button un-done and he looks less formal than he was earlier on when he was in his office. The fact that the glass on the right hand side has reflection and is very clear shows once again that it is a very well known company. The traffic on the left of the screen appears to be at a stand still which slightly gives another clue that he is working in New York City.

We then see he him pull out his mp3 player which plays some sort of gangster like song and then changes to 'Everyday people' by Sly & The Family Stone, the music that is used from his mps could be used to represent his mood. The car in the relfection looks rather expencive so it could show further about the point of him working for a company that pays good money.

The buildings behind William look like appartments/offices which gives away a huge hint that it is in         New York and in a buisness like area as they look modern and that they look rather new and also they have have very clean windows.

Now the screen is in a 'split screen' type of shot, we are able to see more of william's suroundings. We see the yellow taxis which are rather stereotypical to the 'New York' like films. Whilst he is doing this the music is still playinig as he is walking to pick his dauhter up from school.

1)      The first frame shows a long shot over viewing New York with the titles appearing on screen. The titles indicate the distributors of the film, being Universal Pictures and Marv films. The titles stay on screen as a push in shot occurs, and we hear a single piano note with a background beat, which creates the feeling of beauty or pride as we stare at the entire city. Also, the sound blends with the next scene as it shows the two main characters alone in a waste dump with so much open space and a great view of the city behind them.
2)       The next frame shows how the push in motion has occurred, as we are closer to the city than before. The same white bulky text has been used, which generally has a sort of cartoony effect when looking at it; it allows the viewer to imagine it being similar to a comic book. The music starts to fade and a voice over of a young girl takes place, introducing a character.
3)      The next frame introduces characters. You see the two main characters, but it allows the viewer to see the twist in stereotypical super hero stories as we see what we think to be a geeky or nerdy student, with a young girl who is pointing a gun at him.
4)      Frame 4 is of the reaction to the young girl shooting him. The viewer receives some context to the previous scene as we see he has a bullet-proof vest on, allowing the viewer to realise they are practicing and experimenting with things rekated to violence and crime. This scene also allows the viewer to realise these are the two main characters, as firstly the boy has a bullet proof vest on and is experimenting getting shot, and the girl is obviously another main character as she shoots him without any hesitation and enjoys doing so. The viewer realises these are not two average teenagers.
5)      Frame 5 shows us the title to the film. It is on a black background and is a bright orange colour. The viewer can start to imagine this being like a comic, as the title is big and colourful and stands out, like a comic book title. In addition, the start of up-beat video game style music begins, creating the sense of it being like a super hero movie.
6)      The sense of it being like a comic book really starts to stand out when a title appears on screen in frame 6, and is identical to the type of title you would expect to see in a comic book. In addition, the voice over of the male main character begins, as he explains how he met the young girl and explaining who she is. The volume of the music is slightly lowered, but is still there to strengthen the comic book feeling atmosphere.
7)      Frame 7 is similar to initial frames, in the sense that it is on screen and returns to the previous font type. However, the music and voice over is ongoing during this frame.
8)      Frame 8 shows the actress of the young girl, whilst she is standing there watching the person who gave her a lift to school drives off. The shot pushes in on her to centre all the attention on her as it shows the viewer who the actor is, and what she looks like.
9)      Finally, frame 9 is similar to frame 8 as we see the boy in what appears to be his usually surroundings and the viewer is hinted to focus on this character, which is indicated by having him in the centre of the sofa, whilst listing featuring names to one side of the frame.
To conclude, the 9 frame I have created shows how titles have been appropriately placed, in accordance to sound, to create the feeling of the opening being like a comic book through types of font and the music being like music you’d expect to hear in a super hero game. This suits the film as it is based around super heroes, which relates to our product as our idea includes having a power as well.

Planning - Shot List (by George Taylor) (Unfinished)

For our main task my job as the cinematographer is to ensure the effective use of the camera and camera shots.

• Close up - I intend on using this so that the viewers can get personal with the main character and understand his emotion and how he is feeling. This may also be used when Toby is at school and is writing, so we can see his hand moving about on the paper with a pen.
• Medium close up - This will be used for when we show Joe's (Tobys) average day in the life that will be narrated over.
• Tracking shots - These will be used when we show Toby and his best friend walking and talking on the phone to one another.
• Low angle - Will be used when Toby has been hurt and is bieng informed that he has been hurt and is being told that he is special and has the power of immortality but he must use it for good, the person that will be used a low angle on will also be silhouetted out so that you cant see any defining features.
• *Over the shoulder shots - This will be used when Toby and his best friend will be conversing.
• Match on Action - This shot would be used when Toby is going about his day and performing action.

(*) - This means that this shot may be used but im not sure when we could used it but I would like to fit it in.

Planning - Budget (by Toby Saddleton & Charlie Austin)

For the main task it was specified that we should create a budget. This would list all costs of production, or in our case, any external costs to make the whole film intro happen. This would include costs of equipment, travel to location, and so forth. For the budget, there are two headings we should consider:

1. Travel costs
2. Equipment

Travel
Due to the fact we are filming outside of school for the most part, there are some travel costs to consider. Our film is going to be filmed at a range of locations, such as Toby's house and roads surrounding it. Also, we are going to be filming at George's house also. Even though most of the group live local and can walk to these locations, I, Charlie, live a further distance away. Therefore, we have to consider travel costs. Here is a list of travel costs to consider:
Adult price return ticket from Chatham to Rainham - £4
Possible car journey's, requiring petrol -
Unleaded (Per mile)
Highest: 123.9p
Lowest: 117.9p
Diesel (Per mile)
Highest: 132.9p
Lowest: 122.9p 

Distance from Charlie's house to Toby's house: 3.4 miles
Cost of highest Diesel price for the entire journey and back:
903.72p / £9.03p

Distance from Charlie's house to George's house: 4.8 miles
Cost of highest Diesel price for the entire journey and back:
1275.84p/ £12.76p

Equipment
As displayed from the equipment list, we have several amounts of technical equipment which we plan to use during the production of our two minute intro. These all have costs so we must consider this in our budget. Here is a list of the equipment costs we must consider:

Cost of camera we will use: £120.00p
Cost of tripod we will use: £16.95p
We will use the schools softbox lighting in the studio, meaning we do not have to consider this cost.
We will use the schools podcasting kit, meaning we do not have to consider this cost.
Cost of 16gb SD we will use: £6.93p

Working on the basis that I use the train for travel, the overall cost of production, including travel and equipment costs, would work out at approximately £147.88p

Planning - Costume, Props and Makeup (By Michael Higgins)

Costume:

Joey Brezinski (Toby):
Joey's outfit is casual as he is a sixth form student so he will be wearing smart casual clothing that he would wear to school on a regular basis. During scene #5 in the white room, his costume will be unchanged as this is how he was hit by the car so he will appear exactly how he was at the scene of the accident. The opening is only set on one day so only one costume is needed.

Mickey (George):
Mickey's outfit will be similar and the same style to Joey's due to the fact that they are from the same social group, it will be slightly more casual as he will already be home during his scene involving the phone conversation. He is only seen in one scene so only one costume is needed.

Props:

School Bag - A school bag will be needed in order to show that he is a student Joey will be using this bag in most of the shots as only a small portion is not about his school life after he is hit by the car but about his life as a whole.

Phones - Mobile phones will be used by both Joey and Mickey during the phone call so these are needed to create the realism and effect properly that they are on the phone or they will look like they are holding up nothing to their ear and talking to it.

Stationary/Pencil Case - These will be used during the shots in the scene when Joey is seen to be working in school like he would on a normal day, these are needed to help the look of student come across more and it will make it more believable that he is working if he has stationary to go along with the rest of his stuff.

Exercise Book - During the same couple of shots when Joey is working, a book will be needed for Joey to write in and an exercise book helps along the idea of a student in a lesson if he has the proper exercise books that a school would hand out.

Makeup:

No makeup is needed as we will not show Joey with his injuries after the accident so Joey will be unmarked throughout the opening and when he is in the white room he will still look clean as there are no injuries in the afterlife that Joey could potentially be heading to.

Planning - Pitch

For our main task we had to create a pitch and present it to the rest of the class. This video is the pitch we gave and all the feedback we received on our main task idea.

Planning - Script (by Toby Saddleton & Charlie Austin)

Title: Alive

*Fade in to a shot of Toby’s house*

Scene 1

INT/EXT – Toby’s bedroom/School- Morning/Midday

The room is at a standstill, Joe is waking up, which is indicated by the fact he is yawning and stretching. At the scene of the school, it’s an average day. Fumbling around with a pen completely away from the lesson.

 JOE (V.O)

I live a pretty average life, nothing out of the ordinary from a usual teenager. Reluctantly get up (Yawn and stretching in background), Get changed, brush my teeth, leave for school, sit around with mickey, boring school work, and then leave school. Nothing more or less than what you expect, just a boring life with no sense of acheivement, ever. But in my head, I always end up asking myself, what do I do that has meaning? What makes getting up the next day something to look forward to? What was so good about the way I live, that made living it worthwhile? Truth is, there was nothing. Just a blank space. Until one evening, everything changed.

(In the sequence, we show Joe acting out all the things/activities that he does on a daily basis, then blackout on “Until one evening everything changed”)

Scene 2

EXT – Road/Joe’s ‘death’ – Afternoon

Joe is walking home from school when he receives a phone call from his friend Mickey to talk about plans for his birthday the following day. The two characters exchange some dialogue when Joe begins to cross a road and then Joe falls silent leaving Mickey left talking to no one however the call is still taking place. We hear a foley sound of a car breaking and then the screen fades to black.

(Muffled sound of the phone ringing in Joe’s pocket, he takes it out and answers it acknowledging that it is Mickey that is ringing him)

Mickey

You alright Joey?

Joe

Yeah man, I’m not to bad thanks, what’s up?

Mickey

Erm, just curious as to weather you’ll be in tomorrow as it’s your birthday?

Joe

Yeah, of cause I will dude, why do you ask?

Mickey

(Holding Joe’s present)

No reason, I was just wondering.

Joe

(we seev him starting to cross the road)

You sure? Anyway I’m so excited for tomorrow man, my parents said that they are going to get me my first few driving lessons and then when I pass they will put me on their insurance and then I’ll be able to drive my mum’s car!

(Joe, in the middle of talking, steps out into the road without paying attention and takes a few steps forward and then turns his head towards the camera with pure shock on his face, showing his reaction to the car coming towards him)

Mickey

(The noise of car brakes comes through the phone and then dead silence)

Joe? Joey? Hello? Joe are you there? Hello? Please answer me Joe! I swear to god if you’re pulling a prank on me …

*Fade to black, Mickey's voice starts to fade*

Scene 3

INT – White room (George’s house)/Art Studio - Enigma

Joe wakes up in a white room and he is unsure as to where he is, the enigma covers quite a few aspects, for example: The time of day, Where he is, Is anyone with him?

Anonymous Voice

Ahhhhh I see you’re awake now joe

Joe

Who’s there? Who are you?

Anonymous Voice

You’re asking the wrong question. You should be asking yourself how you got here.

Joe

Well how did I get here? Where am I?

Anonymous Voice

Well, Joe, you see... you’re dead. You’ve been dead for a few hours now and well this is purely a lapse before the after life. You’re special Joe you see, you have been given the best gift of all.

Joe

(looking slightly worried and angry)

Tell me, WHAT IS IT!

Anonymous Voice

Joe, you have two options. You can either turn down my offer and then continue your journey into the afterlife. Or... you can accept my offering of immortality. If you choose the accept this you will return to your body tomorrow morning and wake up in your bed. However, accepting this will mean things will be different. Not everything will be as it was. What is it to be Joe?

Joe

(looks at the floor, taking a long gap for thought)

(Deep sigh) Take me back. Now.

Planning - Risk Assessment by Toby Saddleton and Charlie Austin

Risk	Who it affects	How to prevent it	Likeliness of risk occurring (1-5, 1 being very unlikely and 5 being very likely)
Use of the road	Toby, George, and drivers	Ensure that the road is clear before stepping out into it. Also, have someone standing somewhere along the street watching for cars coming down the road. As well as this, we will try to be quick with what we film in the road, so that we are not much of a distraction. To add to this, we will ensure that the road we use isn’t a main road and that the amount of traffic coming down it is likely to be minimal.	2
Misuse of equipment	Toby, George, Michael, and Charlie	Ensure that all equipment is set up properly and any parts of it are not faulty. Also, check that we have set the equipment up properly and double check if we have set it up right before filming. Also, ensure cables are tucked away and make sure that the group have acknowledged where the cables are.	2
Bad weather	Toby, George, and Charlie.	Try not to record in bad weather.  If we decide bad weather would add tension to the scene, ensure that sensible footwear is worn to reduce the chance of slipping. Also, no strenuous physical movement is made, only move within limitations that recognise the chances of slipping are increased in bad weather. Also, if we are to record in bad weather, maybe have an umbrella to shield the camera or other equipment.	2

Research into Distributors

We agreed as a group the genre of films we would like to research to give us a better insight on what our intro should be like, and decided individually what films we would each research:
Toby

• Batman Begins

Charlie

• Kick-Ass 2

George

• Thor : The Dark World (2013)

Michael

• Bruce almighty

As part of the main task, it was specified that we should find the distributor for each film we were researching.

Kick-Ass 2:
The distribution company for this film is the very recognizable Universal Pictures/Universal Studios. Universal pictures is an American film studio and its main headquarters is located in California. It is owned by Comcast and is considered one of the "big six" American film studios. Some of the other films it has distributed, such as Jaws, E.T. - The extra-terrestrial, and Jurassic park, have achieved box office record and became the biggest profit films at their times of release.

Thor : The Dark World (2013)
The company that produced, made, distributed this film are Marvel Studios originally known as Marvel Films from 1993 to 1996, are an American based motion picture studio based at Walt Disney Studios in California. Being a part of the Disney conglomerate, Marvel Studios works in conjunction with The Walt Disney Studios, another Disney unit, for distribution and marketing.

Bruce Almighty:
The company that distributed this film is again a major studio, Universal Studios. This is a studio that are responsible for a majority of the films that are released since their establishment as a major studio and have quickly and easily become the most recognizable studio with their classic introduction of the Universal name in front of the globe. They distribute a range of films from blockbusters such as Jaws (1975) and Jurassic Park (1993) and smaller films such as Transformers (2007) and Hellboy 2 (2008). Universal know how to make a blockbuster and know what will gross well in the box office and produce films from an extensive range of genres, they will produce any genre as long as the concept is a good one.

Batman Begins:
The company that distributed the film of my choise is Warner Bros Pictures. The company was founded in 1923 by Samn Warner, Albert Warner, Harry Warner & Jack Warner (hence the name Warner Brothers). The company is located in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA.Wanrer Brothers also distribute other films along with tv shows and music entertainment.

Planning - Shot Schedule by Michael Higgins

Main Task Planning - Equipment list by George Taylor

Equipment list

Camera - The camera will be used by the cinematographer to film the actors for our main task.

Tripod - The tripod will be needed to stabilize the camera when recording so that the viewers think that our main task is professional.

Softbox - This will be used for lighting and to create an effect in one of the scenes in our main task that could not be done without the softbox.

Podcasting kit - The podcasting kit will be used to create a voice over that the viewers will hear, such as a narrator.

SD Card - The SD card will be needed to store the videos onto this when we record, it fits into the camrea and is used as secondary storage that can be uploaded to a computer

9 Frame Film Analysis – Opening sequence to Batman Begins

1.       (00:00 – 00:10)We first see the Warner Bros Pictures as it lets people know that they are the company and distributors that made the film and also by using the logo it attracts large audiences as it is a major studio. The black and white colours represent the darkness that is used in the film. I believe that the clouds in the background are foreshadowing later on in the film when all the disturbed patients are set free into Old Arkham.

2.       (00:14 – 00:27) We then see the DC comics logo, this is rather vital to the film as it they are the company that launched the character of batman in their very popular comic book series.

3.       (00:29 – 00:42) The bats on the screen give away that this is about batman, as it briefly see the logo of ‘The Bat’ and in my opinion it slightly foreshadows  later on in the film when the character of Jim Gordon turns on the bright light with the batman logo on, this shows us that justice is delivered within the film.

4.       (00:44 – 1:00) So here see the two main characters that will be strongly presented with in the film, we see them play childish games (hide and seek or chase) and we can see that they are really good friends. The shot they are in is a medium shot and it allows us to see their facial expressions and how their body language is towards each other, the camera man is using the camera handheld as he follows the two of them as they run after each other, he then crouches down as we see Bruce Wayne look under the table.

5.       (1:07 – 1:20) We see Bruce take a stone from Rachel’s hand and decides to hide on top of a boarded up well. The camera is handheld/on a tripod as he runs into the room on the well. When he crouches on top of the boarded up well, the camera goes into a medium close up of Bruce as it then lets us see his reaction (reaction shot) of this boarded up well making a creaking noise before he falls through it.

6.       (1:21 – 1:30) This shot is rather important as it shows that Bruce is falling, the camera is already been tilted up, it just doesn’t show the viewers the shot of it being tilted up. The shot is also a master shot as it is then returned to shortly after (screenshot 8).

7.       (1:34 – 1:36) This whole visual perception on the cave is rather important to the story as a whole as it (in my opinion) it’s like a symbol to say that what lies beyond the darkness is unknown. The camera uses a wide shot to display this and also uses a point of view shot as it is what Bruce can see.

8.       (1:41 – 1:46) We see the bats flying upwards which again to me suggest that justice is served later on in the film. This is also a master shot, as this kind of shot has already been done.

9.       (1:49 – 2:00) The character of Bruce is shown in ‘modern day’ and he is awoken by a nightmare, showing us that the events that took place on that day still haunt him to this day and it’s something that he has to live with. The camera is tilting down onto Bruce (Christian Bale) as it then shows that he as a person is looked down on.

Bruce Almighty:                                                                          By Michael Higgins

1) The initial frame in my sequence is a tracking shot showing the main character, Bruce (Jim Carrey), walking towards the camera. This sequence has relevance to our opening as our main gets hit by a car and goes to a white room to be told that he is immortal. Using this shot of him walking, we can create the sense of normality as he is walking home from school. In the film Bruce is upset and is walking in the rain and this medium shot and sympathy is created for him as we can see his slow movements and the emotions on his face; we will use this kind of shot to relax the audience and make them think that he is walking home like any other day.

2) In this medium close up shot, Bruce falls to his knees and begs to God that he doesnt want to be God anymore and he has decided that God's choices are best for him, not his own choices. A white light begins to shine on him and he believes that God is taking him in and the viewer believes this aswell as the music swells and the excitement and volume in the actor's performance leads us to belive that he is getting what he wants. This shot is not needed in our opening as we will shoot our sequence differently, keeping the normality as much as we can but hinting that something has happened until he appears in the white room.

3) It then cuts to a close up of the front of the truck speeding towards the camera and we for the firts time get the sense that something is wrong, before the cut we start to hear the truck's horn. This catches the viewer by surprise and can startle the viewer; however, in our opening we won't show a shot of the car that hits our main character but we do hear the sound of tires screeching down the phone indicating that something has happened to the viewer and to the secondary character but does not show the actual collision which can create an enigma as to what has happened and leaves it for the viewer's imagination.

4) While Bruce is laying on the floor there is an aerial close up of his face which then pushes out very quickly into the sky and the screen turns white, Bruce then emerges from within white smoke to ask what happened to him and this setting of all white is something we wish to replicate in our opening. Once our main character is hit, he will appear in a white setting just like this representing the fact that he is dying; he will also ask what has happened in which it will be revealed to him by another, third, character.

5) This next character will emerge from the smoke also, in this sequence it is God and we will also have someone who is meant to be of a higher power. This character tells Bruce what has happened and why it has happened and explains his situation to him. This is something we will replicate as our main character is told that he is immortal and not dying but that this is just an opportunity to tell our main this information.

6) The two characters in the scene are walking towards each other and meet in the middle with a two shot showing the both of them standing next to each other as they continue the conversation while walking towards the camera. Using this shot makes the situation a lot more casual and relaxed despite the situation that Bruce is in seeing as he has just been hit by a truck and is dying, which is why he is in this place. In our film we can use this shot to relax the audience before we released the fact that our main character is immortal to him and the audience. This will build the suspense again and keep the audience on the edge of their seat in order to watch more and immerse themselves into the film.

7) Once Bruce and God have stopped walking towards the camera, the cinematographer stops tracking the actors to that they are framed in a medium shot of the two actors, this shot is also used as the master shot. This used is used in the film in order to continue the relaxation of the audience and making them feel at ease by using one continuous take without cutting, if the shot continuously cut between shots then a lot more suspense would be created in comparison to one long take. We could also use this in order to surprise the audience more when he finally find out about his immortality.

8) The scene starts to use over the shoulder shots in order to show each actors emotions individually while still showing the context that they are in a conversation with one another. Once Bruce starts to prey in order to protect the ex-girlfriend that he is still in love with the shots are pushed in to a close up for both actors in order to intensify the emotions that the actors are portraying in their dialogue and their body movements. In our film we can push in the over the shoulder shots after he has been told about his immortality and this can end the scene just before he fades back into real life.

9) God sends Bruce back into the real world and the camera pushes in quickly in a birds eye view shot of Bruce laying on the ground, the shot starts up in the clouds and pushes all the way into a medium shot of Bruce in order to show the paramedics that are working around him and shows that he is being fibrillated. We may not use this shot and effect in our film as we may end it while the characters are in the white room having the conversation about being immortal and this is how the opening will end as we are hoping that at this point we will be at around the 2 minute mark for our opening.

Research into simmilar films - Thor : The Dark World (2013) - By George Taylor
  1. Frame 1 is the title to show who created the film, the way that this title is impressive is that it  shows a comic flick of many shots turning like a book to pull out and show us the "Marvel Studios" logo. I would like the main task to share a simmilar title opening using some of these techniques.

2. The introduction to the film is a narration of a story bieng told, telling a story of "The Aether" a powerful and ancient weapon, this type of narration is simmilar to the one we intend on using in our main task. Its showing us the battle that the Aether was used in and how it came to bieng. But the only catch is it can only be used when the planets are alligned 

3. This shot is a shot of the 2 people who are in power over the army that are facing off against the protagonists Grandfather in battle, so these are the antogonists in this section of the film. These 2 are over looking the battle and want to stop the apposing army so that they can hold of the army whilst they wait for the planets to allign (As seen in Frame 2) once the planets have alligned they can access the power of the Aether.

4. This shot shows a group of troups using a form of travel that is recognisable and associated with Asgard, the place of living of the protagonist (Thor). I like this shot as it shows the power of the Protagonists species and is also a good use of a tracking shot as we see the light beam travel quickly through space and follows it onto the battle ground.

5. This shot used a Extreme long shot of the group landing onto the planet and to show the power of this travel as it caused the ground to shake and it makes a booming noise which causes the soldiers to stumble and turn as the landing has cought their attention as they know that this travel will bring the strong force of Asgard, the use of shots in this short section is effective, while the narration still continues telling the story of the battle and giving back story, thats the important part is how they use this narration.

6. This is a reveal shot followed by a reaction shot that pans in and uses a medium close up of the Protagonists Grandfather as he jumps straight into the battle and shows his strength and power, the narrtion still continues as these shots proceed to happen.

7. This shot is a low angle as the antagonists army have returned with a strong soldier to counter act Asgards attack, this shot is used to show the charecters power as this type of shot gives the impression of something bieng bigger then it actually is.

8.  This close up shows a red glowing crystal that looks simmilar to the Aether that we was shown early but alot smaller. He proceeds to crush it in his hands and it gives him a transformation that makes him bigger, stronger and more powerfull.

9. This tracking shot follows the powered up soldier as he powers through the armys lines as they try to stop him, this tracking shot is useful as there are many things/people in the foreground but out of focus as the main focus of this shot is the soldier and this is useful as we will be using a tracking shot within our main task when the main charecter is on the phone walking home and we can have things in the foreground like this.

On set 

00:40- First part of film. Point of view shot of business envelope. Three surnames which suggest solicitors.  Addresses the main character, Mr William Hayes. Shows us he is located in New York

00:42– We see the scene of an office. Lets us know the main character has an office job somewhere in New York and we can start to assume the sort of character he is; the stereotypical reluctant office worker.

01:30 – William has left the office and we can see with props and clothing changes (Puts in his earphones, loosens his tie and leaves his top button undone) that he has become more casual. This makes him seem less formal and allows the viewer to start to see the kind of character he is, for example, we see he seems laid back.

Sound

00:33 – We can hear the sound of the office in the background whilst on a title screen, known as a sound bridge. The sound itself is quiet, representing the peace and quiet of the environment. We realise this makes sense when the office scene is then shown.

00:40 – Overdramatic noise of the package hitting the desk, which emphasises its importance and makes the viewer pay attention to it.

00:42 – sound bridge of the pen clicking quickly. Shows the character is nervous or possibly worried.

Text

I don’t think anyone imagines on their wedding day they’d be part of the 46% that doesn’t live

happily ever after.

I’d never thought I’d spend my days weeks and years working for an advertising company figuring out how to get kids to eat capn crunch instead of fruit loops

Co-worker is extremely happy for him about something; he just mutters back pretending to be happy.

But Tuesdays and Fridays are my favourite days. I get out of work early and I go pick up my daughter Mia from school

It’s the right feeling when you find the right track to go to today, and I’ve found the absolute perfect song (plays the wrong song) the other perfect song (plays right song)

Camera work

00:40-00:42 – Close up on the envelope.

00:42-00:45 - Medium shot of main actor and his surroundings.

00:47-00:54 - Second close up of the envelope, which tilts up to the main actor who is picking up the envelope.

00:55-00:59 - Point of view shot of him viewing the documents from the envelope. Shot gradually zooms in so we can see the document clearly.

01:01-01:02 - Medium shot again of the actor sitting in his office chair.

01:02-01:06 – Medium close up of his secretary congratulating him, allowing us to see her emotion as she is clearly happy.

01:06-01:08 – Close up of actor to see his emotion in response, which appears to be a sarcastic, reluctant grin.

01:09-01:17 - Back to the medium shot of main actor, which we can consider the master shot at this point.

01:18-01:21 - Wide shot of him preparing to leave his office

01:21-01:25 - Exterior shot of him leaving the building he works in. This pans left and then continues into a tracking shot

01:26-01:30 - Cut to an over the shoulder shot of him walking down the street and putting in his headphones. The shot then arcs from one shoulder to the other.

01:30-01:33 – Reverse angle shot/close up to in front of the actor whilst walking down the street. It is a hand held camera shot.

01:33-01:34 – Close up of his music player as he is picking a song to listen to as he walks.

01:34-01:39 - Shot reverse shot to see how he responds to picking the wrong song, then reversing to the music player to see him change the song. Then it reverses once more to his reaction of picking the right song.

01:39-02:00- Multiple split screens of different shots of him walking and his surroundings with slow motion, as well as titles at the bottom of the screen.
