Research..
For
our research we watched the opening to different films. We decided to go with
ever thriller or Rom-Com for our genre. We started off watching a range of
thrillers and made notes whilst me watched. The first film we watched was The
butterfly effect.
The
butterfly effect...
In
the butterfly effect we noticed at the beginning the outline of the main male
actor was blurred at his was on the other side of the window. You could see
this figure moving down the corridor slowly, this added tension as you want to
know where he is going and who he is, also there is a sound of high pitch
noises being played in the background. Then he comes crashing though the door
fairly fast and the music has change to drum noises which are low pitched. The
actor is franticly running around then office sense and pushing tables in front
of the door, he then goes and gets under the desk and starts to write a letter.
When he is writing the words “Save Her” it creates an extreme close up on those
two words, this makes us think what does he mean by save her and who is she?
The title of the film come up after then then it breaks to an establishing
shot.
The
dark knight...
In
the dark knight the first sense is an establishing shot of the city. It then
does to a bank. We could hear that there was a noise of helicopters flying
over, it then turns into a loud low/medium pitch sound. Then you see a man
standing on the corner of the street holding a clown mask you, this makes us
wonder why he has that and what he plans to do with it. We never see his face
only the back of his head, he then puts the mask on and walks into the bank
with others wearing the same masks. There are a lot of gun shots and shouting.
There are other clowns all over the city doing things with this same bank job,
they all end up killing each other because its part of a plan. One of the sense
that is exciting is when the bus comes though the wall and then just drives off
like nothings happened. There are a lot of closes ups and mid shots as there
are conversations being made. At the end of the sense you just see and hear
police turning up to the crime sense. We liked this film because it has a lot
of action and we wanted to know what was going to happen next.
Rom-Com
Rom-com
are romantic comedies, these mainly have a light hearted feel to them and don’t
really have any major bad things happen. They have dilemmas that are soon
sorted out. They mainly have only two main characters that end up falling in
love or breaking up. They are funny with some sad or serious elements.
