our oppening two minutes were inspired by the oppenings of films like johny english and austin powers 3. the scene will open with a dream (though this is not known to the audience) in which the main charecter chases down and subdues someone implied to be a villian. she then awakes to find it all a dream. this is shwon through a few means. first of all the change in film quality. secondly the music played over the chase scene ends abruptly with the ringing of her alarm. thirdly the change in the charecters mannerisms within the film.
changes in camera and why
i have made the decision to use two different cameras to shoot different parts of the film. this is because their is a slight difference in the way the two camera's shoot the film so the film itself will have a sligthly different look. i felt this to be appropriate as one camera is used for a dream sequence and the other is used for scenes shot in reality. this helps contrast the two kinds of scenes.
Camera shots and their uses
Establishing Shot – A shot (usually wide of long) often used at the start of a programme or a film, a new section of a programme, or at the start of a new scene to establish the relationship between the set/location and the characters and the show the whole view.
Master Shot – A shot a director will cut from and return to. For example, this might be a two-shot of two characters from which they will return. This establishes clear space and time relationships.
Close Up Shot – Includes extreme, big and medium close ups, are used to draw the viewer closer and to involve them in what is happening; they are also used to observe reactions and emotions, such as happiness. These shots are often used to privilege the protagonist over other characters and position the audience to identify with him or her.
Long Shot – This is often used for an establishing shot of a set or location.
Wide Shot – This can be used as an establishing shot of a set or location or to show a large crowd of people. It can also emphasize the isolation of a single figure.
Point Of View – Generally used either directly before of after shot of the protagonist looking at an object or a character who features in the point of view shot.
