Introduction Continuity Sequence

For this task we had to make a continuity sequence using the skills we have learned in our introduction. These skill were such things as, camera angles, sound, camera movement, the continuity system such as match on action and the 180 degree rule. we also had a very low budget. In this short film we aimed to used mise-en-scene and connotations to create a deal clip. We used such this as black clothing and suspicious bags to create this feeling. We had to film at least 5 close ups, shot reverse shot and a establishing shot without breaking the 180 degree rule.  We cut out the natural sound and used a tense track to create suspense. We also used natural lighting to keep it realistic. When we were filming we always made sure that you could never see in the case to keep the sense of suspicion.

 

Next time I hope to use more camera angles and costumes, I feel this short video also is very quick cutting and we could of shot some of the scenes for longer or shoot some filling shots. because we are limited to filming at the college, we tried to set the scene location of an american high school by using the lockers as a background in the hall. Next time I would like to use the setting of a forest/woods to really set a suspense felling.

INTRODUCTION PHOTOGRAPHS 

LOVE

We shot this photo in a close up shot and used the red backing to connote love and the stones in the shape of a heart which is typically seen on Valentine’s Day.

STRENGTH

We shot the photo at low angle to force a sense of power on me. I also posed in a super hero like way looking into the distance which presents me as a strong and overpowering person.

POVERTY & WEALTH

In this shot we used a medium shot to get both sides in. We also used the green grass to connote positive feelings and wealth and on the other side using black and white to connote poverty and negativity.

                                                                      WEAKNESS

For this shot we used a long shot to capture emotion, the emotion of weakness through Jades face and body language, we used a black and white filter to connote negativity and darkness.

                                                             PURITY

For this we used a wide angle shot to capture the sky, the white clouds connote purity and green leaves are connoting neutral feelings.

                                                                            DESIRE

For this shot we used a canted angle to really show off the car. Also we used a black and white background to make the car stand out.

                 

                                                                       LONELINESS

In this Photograph we used an over-the-shoulder shot to create the sense that she’s looking at the people that are moving away from her. We put Jade black and white to show that she is unhappy and alone.

                                                                            DANGER

In this photograph we used a long shot to capture the scene, with Jade looking back and me running after her. This type of chase is commonly seen in films and means that danger is around.

                                                                            FEAR

                          

In this photograph we used a medium shot at a low angle, using the low angle creates a sense of power and added to the darkness of the shot creates the felling of fear.

FRIENDSHIP

In this photograph we used a long shot to capture both people and the facial expressions at the same time. 

GREED

In this photograph we used a long shot to capture me stealing Jades bag and by doing this we try to create a sense of greed.
