Film Opening Analysis – The Proposal

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

A film always opens with the two production company’s logos, after this the film opens with the female lead on a bike watching the screen, the camera is zoomed in n the screen so it looks like she is actually in the forest, then the camera zooms out to see her watching the screen in her front room by viewing an over the shoulder shot of her watching the screen. Camera zooms out a little more to an over the shoulder shot to show her reading on her bike in her front room. This is showing her multitasking to show feminine power. The camera then cuts quickly to a close up of her face, then cuts to a mid shot of her on her bike.

In the next scene the camera pans across the room to a mid shot of the male lead in bed and the alarm clock so we can see he is late. Camera zooms out to watch him get out of bed then cuts to an over the shoulder shot of the female lead looking into the mirror checking her appearance. It then cuts to a long shot of the male lead running across the road until he reaches the camera where there is a mid shot of him and the road. It then cuts to a mid shot of the female lead eating breakfast in her kitchen.

Then it cuts to the next scene where the camera pans out across the window to see him running past the windows and entering the shop, it cuts quickly to a long shot of him running past the customers until he reaches the camera view. It then cuts to an over the shoulder shot of a girl giving coffee to the male lead, this involves a shot/reverse shot with his responses she hands him the coffee. it then cuts to the next scene where it is a tracking shot of the male lead running across the road and dodging cars, it then cuts quickly to him running into a building and entering and then a mid shot of him running with a drink in his hand, this is also a tracking shot as the camera follows him.

As the male lead runs the camera follows him walking into an elevator, where it is a mid shot of him wedged between people in the elevator. The elevator door closes and it then cuts to a mid shot of the female lead walking on the street on her phone with a crowd of people, it cuts quickly to a mid shot of her right side walking across the road as a tracking shot until she reaches the camera’s view.

In the next scene it cuts to the male lead walking out of the elevator having a mid shot of his back as he walks away from the camera, it cuts quickly to him walking into a room as a mid shot and then cuts to a mid close-up of the male lead spilling coffee on his shirt and then cuts quickly to another mid shot of the male lead complaining to another character, extra character walks out of shot.

The next scene cuts quickly to female lead walking into the building as the camera follows her with a tracking shot. It then cuts to the male lead asking another character for his shirt, we see over the shoulder shots and a shot/reverse shot as they exchange dialogue.

The camera cuts quickly to two extra characters looking into the camera, then the camera cuts to a long shot of the female lead walking towards the camera, as if this was the view the two extra characters were looking at. It then cuts to a woman typing on the computer, it then cuts quickly to an extreme close-up of the computer screen of the message she is sending everyone, “Its here!” then a series of cuts as it appears on screens. It then cuts to a mid shot of the man reading the message then jumping out of his seat. Then it cuts to a tracking shot of the female lead walking into the room, and then it cuts quickly to another mid shot of a person reading the message and gasping.

It cuts to another tracking shot of the female lead walking along the room, then it cuts quickly to a long shot of everyone running to their desks as she walks past, walking towards the camera’s view. It then cuts to a mid shot of a character who was once leaning on his chair but quickly sits up straight as she walks past, then it cuts quickly to a mid close-up of her face as she looks down at all of her employees as the tracking shot follows her movements.

The next scene cuts to a mid shot of the male lead adjusting himself, then the camera cuts quickly to zoom out to show that he is standing in her office. It then cuts to a tracking shot of the female lead walking into her office with her back to the camera. I loved how the camera shots cuts quickly to one and other to show two different morning lifestyles as they link in with one and other, the range of shots come together nicely as the opening flows between these shots.

Animatic – ‘Well I Never’

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Recce Report

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

This first shot is the setting of our first sene after the establishing shot, where we first see the main character.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This next shot is of the scene where we meet our second character in his bedroom. To get across the different lifestyles of the characters, different bedrooms were key.

This next shot is of the scene where our first character walks from the bedroom to the bathroom mirror and we have a shot from the point of few of the mirror as if that is the camera.

 

The next shot is the scene of where our second character walks from his bedroom to his bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This next image would be of the establishing shot we would use for the first scene, to show that the characters live in the same building, however later we show how they have never met.
