Analysis of the Second Half of our Storyboards

For our storyboards analysis we have all chosen a shot to taken. I have chosen the last shot of each storyboard to analyse.

We chose to make shot 4 a long shot which is panning because we wanted a clear view of around the room and how everyone is positioned. This also builds up suspense, foreshadowing what is going to happen next in the clip. We chose to use a cut to continue with the fast past editing and not make it look abnormal.

Shot 7 was a shot reverse shot because it is at the end of a conversation. It shows Poppy inviting in the investigator and portrays the development into the investigation as to where April has gone. This shot is crucial because it involves an outside person coming into April's last place of residence before her disappearance. Additionally, the use of music in the background shows the formality of the situation.

Shot 10 is an extreme close up of Poppy's lips. We chose to do this as part of series of shots to show the effect April's disappearance and the investigator's visit is having on her physically and how she is presenting it visually. The effect of using an extreme close up means the audience will be able to see the preciseness of her movements.

 Shot 14 is a match on match shot. This is used to show the ending of the conversation and the ending of the opening which then leads on to the title page. We thought this would be a good thing to close on as the conversation closes simultaneously to the thriller opening.

Evaluation- Question 1

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? My media product is the opening of a thriller film. We chose the story line of the disappearance of a teenage girl. This uses a typical storyline of a thriller film. We did this because it was a storyline which we could use and develop with the support of additional resources. This idea was inspired by BBC 1 series ‘The Missing’ in which a girl returns after she went missing.   A way in which we developed the storyline through the use of other resources is by incorporating the idea of a red van. This was initially my idea which was expanded on by the rest of the group. 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
