Research:Effects of cut aways

Effects of cut aways

 

we have done this post to show how different techniques can change the ways in which certain scenes can be perceived. one scene could be seen as a different genre depending on what ios to follow, it can create a different emotion.

 



This use of a cut away above makes the character on the left look crazy and sinister with the character smirking at a dead body. However the cut away below shows a characters reaction to another character making a funny face which makes the scene much more comedic and funny.

Thrillers often occur on a much grander scale: crimes are more serious

Standard plot elements include a sense of jeopardy.

Climax: when hero finally defeats villain, saving him and others.

Some thrillers are influenced by film noir and tragedy, the hero can get killed.

Finished Storyboards

This is the storyboard for our groups preliminary task. While filming we had many new ideas so the storyboards do not cover everything we filmed. However, many of the camera angles shown in the storyboard were still used in our filming.

Preliminary Task

We have been asked to do with a continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door,crossing a room and sitting in a chair opposite another character. Then the character must exchange a few lines of dialogue.

Also while filming this task we must include 3 different kinds of filming shots/techniques which are match on action(where a shot is edited from one view to another view that matches the first views action), shot/reverse shot (where one character is shown looking at another character, and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character) and the 180-degree rule(shown in the diagram below).
