During this task we used simple camera movements and angles, i.e: low angle and close up shot. We then edited what we had recorded and deducted any parts we did not want.
Producing this psychological thriller opening has developed my understanding of media techniques and representations.
The long shot of the corridor , show s Lucy's obsession as she is sticking pictures of , Mr Collinson, in her locker. The empty corridor represents , how lonely Lucy's character is.
Another element that was more developed then our preliminary task, was Mis en scene. We constructed our own Heigh chart for the mugshot scene, as well as the mugshot Placard.
Most of our locations for our films are in school, this was useful as we were only allowed to film with school grounds. One of the scenes that we had considered filming was a conversation between Lucy and Pheobe , however we descovered that the scene was too long , and we had filmed it without sound. we then attempted it three more times, but we soon decided to cut the scene out of our film.
These are the locations for the scenes we wanted to do.
Another difference between our preliminary task, and production task, is that we did not use any diegetic sound of the dialogue. In our opening the characters are speaking in mime , as there is music playing over it. however you can hear the teacher, Mr Collinson laughing. We had planned to use diegetic sound for the conversation between Lucy and her best friend Phoebe, but we decided that it would be too long as the time limit for our opening was 2 minutes. Also the sound was not successful, especially as we had recorded it more than 4 times.
This is our final opening.
This psychological project has expanded my understanding of producing a film, and allowed me to develop my skills and tecniques such as:
Camera- Shots
Angles
Composition
Movement
Editing
Sound
Mis en scene
