Filming day- Preliminary Task

Today, we filmed our preliminary task. We used our storyboards as a basis, although did make a few changes which we will reflect on when we do the editing stage next week. The filming we did last lesson didn't save properly so we refilmed it but with more success than last time. We came across several bumps during filming such as the noise from the hand dryer or the people outside talking but eventually we was able to get it finished. This week has been very successful in terms of productivity because our storyboards are complete and so is the filming. Next week, the plan is to start editing which I think will take us a little while, although I am looking forward to it.

The effectiveness of the van was, if we had stuck with our original storyline and mise-en-scene, the red of the van would of linked with the investigator’s lipstick which could of shown a theme of villainess, another common convention of the thriller genre. However, we changed the mise-en-scene as red lipst

Key Moment of Suspense from the Sixth Sense- 1

Image
Composition Ambient lighting is used because it make the scene very dark which helps to make the atmosphere appear more eerie. Additionally, Cole is wearing little white pants and a white vest. White is usually associated with the theme of innocence and therefore foreshadows when something bad happens in the upcoming clips, he will be the victim. Another aspect to build up suspense is the red tent. Red is associated with the theme of danger which again could foreshadow what is going to happen in the upcoming scenes. A clip that effectively builds up suspense is when you can see Cole's breath, this shows it is cold and makes the scene feel tense and also that his shoulders are hunched shows he is frightened. Camera Angles A medium longshot is used to portray Cole with his bedroom in the background and this is where you get the first insight of his red tent. Then there is a medium longshot of Cole going to the toilet. This is used to show how Cole is oblivious to what is going on
