In today's Media lesson we were told to pick a still grab from a film, I chose the film Coraline. In the title sequence, the titles were in white and orange stitching on a brown/orange background. the border at the end of the screen was a pattern that looked like a table cloth, or a curtain. In the beginning of the opening title sequence, the first titles mentioned was the production company Focus Features and the other companies in association with Focus Features. The next titles to appear was the name of the film Coraline followed by 8 of the cast members. The background then changes from the orange/brown background to moving motion. In the clip, we see a doll flying in from the window and later being disattached and recreated into a new doll. While this is all happening, titles are still in motion. Lead animators are the next titles to be shown followed by, the concept artist, art directors, storyboard supervisor, editors, visual effect supervisor, music e.c.t, until the producers are shown and a man who wrote the novel, last is the writers and directors. The production company and cast members were shown on the plain background, whereas everyone else were shown during the recreation of the doll in the moving motion. Many different types of shots were present, for example, a wide shot of the doll on the table, a long shot of the doll floating away and a close up shot of the doll being disattached. The title sequence appeals to me as it caught my eye in the still grabs. The colours were very ordinary and plain, but it matches and links to the film. The part where I saw the animations were very interesting to watch and I liked how it liked from the titles to the music.
Here is a picture of the car crash scene, in this scene Max and Vincent are in the car coming from the party going to kill another victim, while Max is driving Vincent says something that effects Max. Max speeds up by going pass the red light because he has had enough of Vincent killing people, Vincent then holds a gun at Max's head and threatens to kill him but Max don’t care about anything and carries on speeding up. Max then speeds up onto a ramp turns the car badly so that the car can flip over, so he can get rid of Vincent. Suspense comes in as tension was built up all the way; because Vincent would not give a chance and kill Max but he did not instead the opposite happened and them both got away with it and managed to stay alive.
In today's lesson we learnt what suspense means. Suspense is a feeling of uncertainty and anxiety about the outcome of certain actions, most often referring to an audience's perceptions in a dramatic work. Suspense is not exclusive to fiction, though. Suspense may operate in any situation where there is a lead up to a big event or dramatic moment, with tension being a primary emotion felt as part of the situation.
The first sub genre, I am going to talk about is Action Thriller and that is a thriller that is a thriller that has so much suspense as it as so many things happening in the film,it tends to have so many violence in the film and it can include on the mise en scene props like Bombs, Guns and many other props to convey its sub genre. This may include films like: James Bond, The Transporter and many more.
about is conspiracy thriller. Is a genre in which case where conspiracy (paranoid) meets coincidence and the characters in the thriller do not know what to do as it leaves them questioning their status and how they can overcome it. It may include films like: The Dark Knight, X-Files and many other films
The next sub genre I am going to talk about is Crime Thrillers. This sub genre is really suspenseful as this type of film mainly tends to focus its attention more on the criminal than the police officers, films like this tend to have a lot of shootouts, chases, murders, robberies and many more. Films under this category are: seven, the killing, reservoir dogs and many other films.
am going to talk about is Disaster Thriller, which is thriller in which natural disaster tends to occur which leaves the actors scared, worrying and also makes them try to discover ways in beating the natural disasters and save the whole world. An example of this is:
The first scene I am going to talk about is the car Crash scene, in this scene Max and Vincent are in the car driving and Vincent says something that Max does not like as they were both coming from a shoot out in a party So max speeds up going pass the red light because he has had enough of Vincent's killing, which leads Vincent to hold a gun at Max's head and threatened to kill him but max did not pay attention and continued to speed up. By this time, max had enough of Vincent's threat that he made a bad u-turn so that the car can flip over, so that Vincent could die. This is a significant scene because tension was built up all the way, because we thought that Vincent would kill Max but he did not instead the opposite happened and they were both still alive and did not seem to be affected by the crash that much.
The next scene I am going to talk about is in Annie's Office, in this scene Annie is doing some research on the case she has to solve and does not that she is the next victim On Vincent's list, Vincent is already in the building and is looking for Annie, but does not see her because she is two floors above him as her computer does not work, whilst Vincent is checking Annie's office, Max is downstairs watching where Vincent is and warning Annie but at first Annie does not believe him as she thinks Max i playing games with her during this conversation Vincent looks at her office phone and notices that she is not on that floor but 2 floors higher and he proceeds to make his way to that floor, then Max spots that Vincent ha started to move and tries to warn Annie to try and get out but all of a sudden the connection is lost as the phone begins to lose power, so Max is forced to enter the building to try and save Annie, as the scene continues Vincent turns out the power in the whole office, which it made it kind of hard for annie to see, Max finds Annie because Vincent had caught her and was about to kill but Max saved her by shooting Vincent in the ear, in which Max and Annie made a narrow escape. This scene was intense because so much happened in a short space, for example we thought that Annie was going to die as Vincent had got her cornered but luckily she did not, then another scenario was when Max had a gun to Vincent, this was intense has both of them could have killed each other but in the end Max shot Vincent in the ear and made for the escape route.
This is the final scene, I am going to talk about is the scene on the train, this is the most intense scene because it is the final showdown. The scene takes place on the train a Max and Annie try to escape but Vincent also jumps on the same train, which only means that either Vincent kills both Max and Annie or the other way around, as the train stops at the first stop Vincent gets ready to shoot at Max and Annie that he even jumps off the train to make sure he gets a clear aim, but Max and Annie both stay on the train because Max saw Vincent Jump off and knew that there will be no way off escaping, so he decides to move to the next carriage in which both Max and Annie try to stay low but do not succeed, so they start a shoot out in this scene but both run out of bullets, which made us think that they might fight it out but instead they sat down and started talking, but it looked like Vincent had died as his head was facing down, and Max and Annie both get off. This is important as it could have been Vincent or Max who could have won, so I believe that the way suspense was conveyed was really composed well.
In class we watched the movie 'Collateral' starring actors Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise. The main plot line is that a cab driver Max ( Jamie Foxx) finds himself hostage of an engaging contract killer Vincent ( Tom Cruise) as he makes rounds from hit to hit during one night in L.A. He must find a way to save himself and one last victim Annie ( Jada Pinkett).
In this scene Max and Annie are running away from Vincent. Unlike the other scene the lighting in this scene is bright so we can see clearly what is going on. Suspense is created by Max and Annie running away and not knowing what way to go in the train station. Anticipation is made making the audience want to know whether they manage to escape unharmed or if the worst happens.
This is scene where Vincent manages to track Max and Annie. Suspense is created through the characters feelings, we know that Max and Annie are feeling terrified and as the picture shows Vincent is so close to them so it raises tension in the audience because we know what is going on.
In todays lesson we developed our media skills by doing editing. We learnt different kinds of ways to edit a video clip.
This image evokes the word city. In the background we can see a view of many cars in traffic. This conveys the city as there is always traffic in the city. Many buildings are also present to represent the city.
This image conveys the word Quick. This is shown through the top of the image and his movement. Some effects are added to the camera, this is because he is in a moving motion while the image is being taken.
In class today we have been analysing many thriller films. The film i will be talking about is called SE7EN.
This is a member of my group, in this picture they are two words we are using in this pic and they are City and Calm. In the background behind him is suppose to be a scenery of the city as you can see many cars and and the different buildings and he seems so calm in this scenery as he may feel at home and the posture he is standing at may confirm his serenity in the atmosphere he may be in. In this pic, I chose the word quick and this is confirmed through the effect in my picture, if you look closer, you can see the effect, it is suppose to be me in a quick notion but because the picture is small you cannot see it as much, so this is an area we need to work on, so it shows that this pic is not as effective as it is suppose to.This is a word pic of Claustrophobic as it shows that she is claustrophobic of small places as you can see the way she is composed in this scene because she she is trying to push the wall because she feels that the walls are closing in on her and she is feeling secluded and she seems to be suffocating in the area because it seems that the world is trying to close in on her and she seems to feel unsafe. This is a pic of another claustrophobic, but in this pic she isclaustrophobic to big spaces as you can see, she has confined her self in a small place because the big empty space round her makes her seem like she is the only person in the world, which is the total opposite of the picture before, as you can see she makes herself small to show that she prefers small gaps. the camera angle of this Pic is at a high angle to show that she feels so isolated in a deserted place, which could also show she is upset and that could be why her head is down.
