Evaluation

DVD Cover

On the DVD Cover for our film, we decided to take a screen shot form the actual film because this can give connotations of danger, as of the hidden face of the character and dark alley way he is walking into. As well as this we edited the photo in PhotoShop so that it had an effect on as if it was being watched on a camera, this shows action code that the character is being watched and that there's danger foreshadowing.

Film Poster

Our film poster shows a picture of in the inside of a phone box looking down on a phone off the hook. This represents the killer in the film that targets the main character and killing them in an explosion. The colours used can also represent the explosion as it uses dull colours with red that show blood. We also added quotations from Newspapers on the film poster to attract people to the poster and that they know that this film can be recommended.

Preliminary Task

Match On Match Action is a cut made on action or movement between two shots in which the action has been overlapped either by repetition of the action or by use of more than one camera (film editing).

Action films are good examples as there are lots of shots in one scene, which have to match the energy of each previous shots. I have a clip from a chase/fight scene in James Bond Casino Royale as an example.

· Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking “back” at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other. However, shot reverse shot is also often combined with creative geography to create the sense that two characters are facing each other, when in fact they may be being filmed in completely difference locations or at completely different times.

Shot reverse shot is a feature of the “classical” Hollywood style of continuity editing, which deemphasizes transitions between shots such that the audience perceives one continuous action that develops linearly, chronologically, and logically. It is in fact an example of an eyeline match.

· The 180 Degree Rule is a basic guideline in filmmaking that states that two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship with each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle.
