Evaluation Activity One

Image Selection:

I have labelled the frames with image (numbers) so I can refer to which one and explain in detail.

Image 9

The convention of the shot: I used the same motion key points to join the lettering up, and close up as before.

Why? This shows the character has a uncompleted traceable identity the close up lets the audience judge what they might suspect.

How does this contribute to my film opening? This shot sets the plot behind the film and signals the audience the importance of this shot through the sound track and certain loops used.

Image 8

The convention of the shot: A close up shot using motion key points to connect the letters in a sequence then they typed out the lettering, then using sound effects to create character and style.

Why? I used the lettering to give the futuristic feel and close up for the invasion of privacy to the character.

How does this contribute to my film opening? It tells you about the character and gives the audience clues.

Image 7

The convention of the shot: This is shot of the character fading out then purpose is to fade in the title.

Why? Fade in the films title and the out again.

How does this contribute to my film opening? This create impact to the title and demonstrates an effective transition which helps to combine the whole film sequence and rap up the opening.

Image 6

The convention of the shot: The title fades out with transition and a hard flash of white this raps up the film opening effectively and with effective visuals.

Why? This was to help me to fade into more footage later point of the film. It makes it appear that the camera has broken.

How does this contribute to my film opening? This helps to give my film opening a edge and a chance to jump straight into action.

Image 5

The convention of the shot: This shot was of tree's as the character walks past the tree's if creates the camera to be static. This shot was a medium close up of the tree's.

Why? The effect thats I created through just adjusting then TV effect to make it look static works really well and gives it more realistic believable cctv operation.

How does this contribute to my film opening? This helps to set the tone of the film and creates tension within the visuals.

Image 4

The convention of the shot: This shot is a long shot of the location I choose.

Why? I thought this shot would detail the location more and set the atmosphere also it has the character walking which appears a suitable location for them and my film.

How does this contribute to my film opening? This helps to set the location,setting,base of props, information about my film.

Image 3

The convention of the shot: The shot of the character was just a simple long shot that screens role of the producer.

Why? The title works well on the background of the cctv effect. It makes you wonder what will happen next as you see the character walking away from the camera's focus ('eye')

How does this contribute to my film opening?

This helps to end the film opening with the character walking pass into the distance and effectively works with the title.

Image 2

The Convention of the Shot: For this is I used a time code effect that counts down and TV effect.

Why: I feel this gives the opening atmosphere and more cctv characteristics.

How does this contribute to my film opening: It relates to the past and how the time is ticking away all past.

Image 1

The convention of the shot: I adjusted the levels of the TV effect I used. This created the blurred out effect (static)

Why? I did this because I had footage of the character walking pass some tree's, I was high up filming therefore they came in to extreme focus. Instead of editing out the tree's I decided to keep this footage and use it to an extent of creating effects.

How does this contribute to my opening? This effect and used footage helps to create the tension and atmosphere. It gives the focusing of the cctv effect character with what the camera blurring out and breaking.

Convention Analysis:

The nine grid template

These are print screens of me creating the nine frame grids in the program photo Shop:

I have explained some of the shots and what they are for and briefly the effect.

This is my practice nine frame grid of the selected imagery, I did this to see if the images all looked effective for the nine frame grid.

These are some of the screen grabs that I am using for my nine frame grid:

The aspects to consider across your nine frames are:

1. The title of the film

2. Setting/location

3. Costumes and props
4. Camerawork and editing
5. Title font and style
6. Story and how the opening sets it up
7. Genre and how the opening suggests it
8. How characters are introduced
9. Special effects
