Ellie Reeves AS Film

Within our group, we were given a task to create a horror movie sequence using a range of different shots. We were also given the task to aim the short film at 15 year olds. I feel our task went quite well, however, there were some inaccuracies. For example there was less than 12 shots and the sequence was only around 30 seconds long; this was purely because we thought we had enough usable footage, however, some of it was not. Also, the storyline could also be put across clearer for the audience because the ending doesn't make sense. The first shot is a mid shot of the girl opening the door. This clip shows her entering a dark room. This added a few enigma codes, which were: who is she and what is she doing? It then cuts to a close up of the girl walking through the door, and the door closing behind her. This shows that she is being enclosed within the environment. The next shot is a pan which follows the girl walking through the corridor. We also see someone ...

    The Amazing Spiderman In this scene, Flash is trying to fight Peter for the basketball. Usually basketballers are strong and athletic, however Peter is making him seem weak and slow. The basketball is the significant prop within this scene as they spend the whole scene fighting over it.

Sinister In the first shot of the film, we see the protagonist carry a baseball bat, looking suspicious. We see this through the use of a medium-long shot. There is also the use of side lighting which almost gives the character split lighting on his face. However, the shot isn’t completely dark, which gives us the feeling of security. In the second shot, we then see another medium-long shot with low key, hard lighting. We see the man move through the room, holding the baseball bat up in the air. This could suggest that something is going to happen and he will have to try and protect himself.  The next shot is a close up of the man’s face. We can see that he is sweating, which is shown via the lighting. This suggests that he is very nervous about what might happen next. The lighting is a split lighting, which could show that he has split emotions, which could be that he is nervous about what might happen, but also angry that someone/something is messing with him. As he ...

Task 1: Deadpool was a massive box office success when it was released in cinemas back on February 10 th 2016. It actually managed to get $132,434,639 in its opening weekend, making Deadpool top the chart for the release weekend. It beat Kung Fu Panda 3 (which was 1 st , the weekend before), by over $112,678,901, that weekend. Deadpool was also released on the same day as How to Be Single, which managed to place itself at 3 rd , with only $17,878,911 . Deadpool made $782,621,155 worldwide, during its time in the cinema, whilst How to Be Single only made $112,143,513. So why was Deadpool so popular? Deadpool’s first comic book appearance was back in 1991, within a Marvel comic. The character then was part of a 2004 comic book series in which the character compares his appearance to, “Ryan Reynolds crossed with a Shar Pei”. This was what lead to Ryan Reynolds being cast as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Deadpool had always been featured within comics and films, but never ...

In the first shot used, there is use of an establishing shot of what seems to be a school corridor with two people (a man and a women) walking down it. The shot lasts 20 seconds with only the diegetic sound of footsteps featured in the scene, this could suggest that the two are not getting along for some reason, this idea can be supported by how far apart the two are together, towards the end of the sequence we see the man is ahead out of the frame, where as the woman is a few seconds behind. In the next shot, we can see the pair in the car, with the male driving. The shot was filmed as a two shot/medium close up. There is a silence for approximately 5 seconds and the two look quite far apart. It becomes apparent that the two are in a relationship when the male refers to her as ‘baby’ when the silence has been broken; this has been used to establish that the two are together. The woman becomes increasingly frustrated within the scene as the male is trying to comfort her, about som...

Kill Bill: Volume 2 In the first shot we see a woman sitting down in a church. We see this through the use of a medium close up. This could suggest that the woman is religious and could possibly be praying. However, the mise-en-scene of her white dress, suggest that she could be a bride. There is also the use of a tracking shot going backwards. This helps to set the scene so they audience know where the clip will take place. We can also hear non-diegetic music, which suggests that the movie could have a western theme. Next we see a point of view, shot of a deserted town. There is also the use of high-key lighting, this suggests that the woman will go outside. There is also the rule of thirds, which makes the doorway more significant, giving the audience and enigma code. We then see the woman looking confused, through the use of another medium close up. This is also a reaction shot. This signifies that the woman recognises the non-diegetic sound of a flute playing. The foll...
