Location shots

These are a few shots where we will be filming

 Shot 1- This is a shot from my driveway of the front of the house and the garage, there are building works on the right hand side of the photo

 Shot 2- This is a shot of the electric gate opened with the house behind it.

 Shot 3- This is the public bridleway next to my house with the tennis court on the right.

Shot 4- This is a photo of the paddocks in front of my house, and a road which divides my house and the fields.

6th film that has influenced my ideas.

I have chosen The Good fellas to analyse as even though it is 20 years old, the opening scene is very affect and moving with only one bit of dialogue' I remember when i first became a gangster.' The opening scene is full of ambiguity as it doesn't hint anything that will further come in the movie.

This is the fith movie which I will be analysing, this movie adulthood follow teenagers to adults in london

Shot 1: The first shot is of this guy who is portrayed as very timid but looks quiet scary as the camera shot shows the shadow over his face. This first shot is part of a flashback which happened in Kidulthood.

Shot 2: This is a long shot where i deigetic sound of screaming and ambulance sirens are in the shot. There has been someone killed by a baseball bat in this shot.

Shot 3: Shot three shows that it is a flashback as they now lead the audience into the present time, some non-diegetic sound starts here, the genre is grime and is aimed at the youth. Another little thing that is shown in this shot is the motorway and how that causes issues for everyone who lives near it, pollution, noise, light.

Shot 4: This shot is showing everyone is raving to the music, the typical house party where everyone is drunk and guys are getting off with girls. This to is a birds eye long shot as the camera is looking down on everyone.

Shot 5: This shot is a close up of this girl who is walking through the crowed. The camera moves and the girl follows the camera but at a constant speed, before she is stopped by her friend.

Shot 6: This shot is of the guy trying to talk to the girl, but editing hear shows two different shots at different places but both on the screen, which is a unusual effect. This effect is really different as not many movie use it, but this could be seen as a positive point and could be used in our opening scene task.

This is the Trailer which shows the Title Sequence to Catch Me If You Can

I chose this movie to analyse because the Title Sequences is very clever as it is also comical and animated but it summaries what happens in the movie, but you only realise this after you have watched the movie.

 Shot 1: Shot 1 is the first Title and the establishing shot, it shows the main actor Leondardo Dicaprio and than they show him by using the airport sign. The non-diegetic sound starts as well  it is quiet a upbeat fast tempo jazzy song.

Shot 2: This shot is a figure of a guard who is chasing the character Leonardo DiCaprio. This part of the sequence has a change in music where it repeats this beat which is established in this shot.

 Shot 3: This shot is of the title of the movie which slides into the shot. This title stays on screen for 7 seconds and than the 'me' flys off which is ironic as the title is Catch Me If You Can. This is a clever animation as later in the movie Leonardo Dicaprio becomes a pilot and gets away.

Shot 4: This shot is just shows how artistic the title sequence is, and how unusual it is but very affective. The animation of the guy swimming away from this guy could be giving a bit of the plot away.

Shot 5: This shot is a truning point in the title sequence as the music changes to a really fast beat song, not only that but the producer has also made the distance between each title smaller so the titles are shown on the screen much faster.

This is the third movie I will be analysising as it fits into the action genre as is to do with gangster's and contraband.

Shot 1: This is the establishing shot to the movie and is a medium shot of a van which is being faded out and than it blows up. The music is Kahuna Hayling Edited Mix which is there own sound track that they created/ The shot doesn't give away much but the clever use of camera shot, zooming out sets the scene for which the actors later use as a shootout.

Shot 2: Shot two is of one of the men who is shooting at people after the van is blown up. This shot shows the amount of props and things that are going in this sequence, shooting, vans blowing up its very hectic. This could be a indication of what the movie is like, guns, shooting people, and it also establishes the genre.

Shot 3: This shot is a medium/long shot as it shows the shoulder and above of the guy and the two girls on his side. I chose this shot as its quite elaborate as it shows the type of mise-en-scene and gives us a clue of what the movie might be about.

Shot 4: is of the people in the prison, the type of shot is very unique as its not a over the shoulder, but it is at shoulder hight. The camera moves across the room panning across, this is a different shot type that is hard to do.

Shot 5: Shot five shows the drugs in the shop, and what it would be like if they were commercially sold. The shot type is also a panning shot as it follows Daniel Craig walking and talking through the shop about how they are in the wrong business.

Here is the second movie in which I have chosen to analyse, it has a few comparisons to snatch, but this is more a action/thriller not humorous in any way. The opening scene here has fairly basic camera shots over the shoulder etc... but the interesting thing is the editing.

Shot 1: Shot number one is the establishing shot of a guy being covered in petrol and about to be lit on fire and than shot several times. It is quite a morbid opening as a guy dies very early on. The camera angle is over the shoulder and there is no music going on whilst this is happening

Shot 2: Shot two shows a anonymous man who is cleverly covered so we can't tell who it is. No characters are formally introduced throughout this shot. The shot type is medium close which is a good shot to use in these circumstances.

Shot 3: The shot is almost introducing the characters, the camera focuses on the guy with the hat as we cant tell who it is but he is obviously a focus point. This shot is quite moving as these two guys showing no emotion are watching a guy burn to death, this could tell us something about the characters. This also could be hinting to the audience the type of movie it is going to be.

Shot 4: This is a shot of naked lady's packaging up drugs, they are naked so that they can't steel any of the merchandise. Right now the main guy is talking to his family who are visiting him and the camera is following him while he shows them this room.

Shot 5: This is a picture of the main guy who has excused himself from the table to solve some unfinished business. This is a very powerful shot as it shows two men having a small argument over money and than a gun gets put to his head and than shot. The camera here is still as the men don't really move they just talk.

Shot 6: This is a medium/long shot which shows the whole family sitting down eating some food. There is no non-diegetic sound playing its just them talking.

Media screen shots from the opening scene Snatch

Shot 1: Is the establishing shot of four Jewish men in Antwerp who are getting out a elevator. The camera is watching the men from a T.V where the four men are on surveillance  This is a very unique way of taking a shot but it gives the audience a sense of suspicion and regulated, maybe its a very important place.

Shot 2: This shot is continuing the story and after the four men being checked by security it doesn't detect the guns in which the big guy has. This medium shot is concentrated on the man with he gun but it also shows the other men. By now the non-diegetic sound has changed to a more upbeat and tense electronic music.

Shot 3: Is a medium shot of the Jewish guy reaching for some papers which could be related to the diamond. This robbery has been very clean as no one has been shot, its just a rush to find the diamond.

Shot 4: Shows the most dominant leader Jewish man who is putting a gun to one of the jewelers heads, trying to get them to hand the rock over.

Shot 5: Shows a Jewish guy holding a revolver and the editors have included one of the credits here which is quite cool as on screen there is a 3 second pause while they introduce the character. The non-diegetic sound also stops here so it give a second or two to process what is happening.

Shot 6: The diamond itself is being showed, it means that the Jewish men have accomplished what they set out to do and have found the diamond. The music also stops aswell here its as if they are introducing the diamond as a character or maybe it will have more significance later in the movie.

Shot 7: Is the 'Jewish' men talking off there disguise after stealing the diamond. The shot here is in the back of a van and all four men are getting rid of there disguise.

This is the movie in which I have chosen to analysis as it fits into the story which our group has come up with.
Mise-en-scene: The characters are portrayed as gangster and thugs sitting down at a little meeting, the non-diegetic sound of Jason Statham. The introduction of the two characters Turkish and Tommy who look like they are in a sticky situation.
Camera: the shot type for the first 1:13 minute is all closeups and introducing the characters through non-diegetic sound explaining their names. Once they have finished talking about diamonds the camera is videoing a t.v which has servalence cameras following the 4 jewish guys who are entering the jewellers.
Sound:

This is our groups Premilinary Task

George, Charlie, Michael and Zachy Media Preliminary task Feedback:

Pros:

• Continuity was good-miantained throughout
• The Shot quality was good and precise
• They used a range of different shot types
• Sound was clear
• Funny
• Good match on action with the door

Cons:

• Didn't include the 180 rule
• Lack of shot types
• Too short only 30 seconds
• Maybe more background story

How to improve: From the constructive feedback received from our peers we can certainly improve on the length of the clip as that just means that we carry on the story. Also another key point is involving the view into our story more as our Preliminary task had no story behind it. Another criticism was that our shot types didn't vary enough so we will work on that.



Thank you to everyone who participated in feeding back about our Media Task :)
