Practise camera shots

A2 example of Film Diary

Friday 5th December

On this day we planned to film the extra scene due to watching all our previous stuff and seeing it was very long winded. We needed something to happen in between the walking home scene. We decided to include a scene involving a car and two men who the character owes money to. This scene would be incredibly hard to film as it contains some serious risks.

Changes to Storyline

Due to this added scene there was a slight change to storyline as to how the daughter would die, due to him being an alcoholic we decided to make him have a money debt with a gang who he gets drugs from and these people have killed his daughter but you don't find this out until the end. Lots of foreshadowing is placed to show his daughter has been killed but this adds suspicion to our film.

Shotlist

• Close-up
• Low angle
• Long shot
• Canted angle
• Over the Shoulder
• Point of View
• Tracking

Risk Assessment 

•  Car scene -  issues are actor could get incredibly injured from the car if not done properly so we had to plan out how we would film this scene so the actor would have minimum possibility of being injured. To do this we filmed the car driving up to him and then another shot from behind the car so the car never actually hits him so the scene actually worked well.
• Filming on a road so we had one group member stand watch for cars as we were filming fight scenes in the middle of the road.
• Fight scene -  if acting went wrong someone could get hurt.
• Car when driving around the bend couldn't see what was round the corner so someone had to shout when it was clear to actually start filming. Due to the bend the car could possibly have an accident not knowing whats around the corner.

A2 Film Title Sequence

Similar Film - Butterfly Effect



This is a title sequence for a similar film to ours, 'Butterfly Effect'. Intense music plays in the background and actor names and titles are in a written style onto a paper background. It doesn't give much away in the title sequence so it leaves you in suspicion for what the film is about. The first thing we see is the production company 'FILMENGINE presents'.

Se7en Title Sequence



Much like other title sequences it opens with the production company 'New Line Cinema' with a dark sinister music playing in the background giving suggestion of a horror type film. It sets up a audience expectation before the film starts when it has dark images for example the guy scraping skin. Off balanced images are placed behind blurred text to give an assumption off confusion in the film.
