Final Days Of Shooting

Final Days of Shooting

Coming up to the final days of shooting as well as the end of the film for the first deadline, I have the nightmare sequence, as well as the final escape scene to shoot and edit. I am planning to shoot both of these across two days and not have to reshoot any shots. To achieve this, I am planning the two shoots as carefully as I can with angles, perspectives, and important lines of dialogue. 

The nightmare sequence will give context to the reason why Ryan is being haunted and followed by Ella, by seeing him move throughout a dark house and eventually find a room lit with red lighting, showing Ella standing close to a window. The scene will show distorted imagery and quick cuts to other disturbing images to make the viewer feel on edge whilst the nightmare continues. Eventually, after reaching the red room, he will wake up after seeing Ella.

 The final scene will show Ryan escaping from a zombie threat that will chase him through an abandoned barn, eventually forcing him to kill the zombie, real life version of Ella that has been bringing back his guilt. For this final scene, I will focus on a sense of urgency and danger through several handheld shots showing one character chasing the other. Dialogue and music will help create this sense of tension during this final scene, which shows the main character face his guilt head on and remove the one thing that is closest to him in order to progress.

Active/Passive Spectatorship

How far does Inception and Blade Runner demonstrate a constant shift between passive and active spectatorship? Both Inception and Blade Runner were not created with the passive spectator in mind. These films throw twists and a large variety of information at the audience that some may not understand in one run through of the film. Because of these two different kinds of spectators, the films have an extremely diverse set of opinions. As an auteur, Christopher Nolan constantly bends time and uses a peculiar layout for storytelling. As some of his films do not pan out in the original ‘beginning, middle, end’ structure, ‘Inception’ follows this trend to a certain degree. The movie-epic spans across several different dream layers and tends to bounce back and forth. However, the film itself is a very ‘spoon-fed’ experience as details to this world are thrown at the audience from the beginning as the basic plot starts to emerge. The recognition of Nolan’s films has always been achie

Evaluative Analysis

Evaluative Analysis Ethan Garvie My original intent for my project is to create a post apocalyptic thriller following the point of view of a young survivor, displaying his own personal thoughts in the wasteland. This will be achieved through a film rather than a screenplay as I believe I am able to work far better through moving image rather than writing a script and a storyboard. I will also be focusing on incorporating 'A narrative which establishes and develops a single character' as my brief. I want to improve upon sequences taken as inspiration from previous short films by using several different lenses (such as my wide lens and 50 mm for my NIKON D3200) and a variety of perspectives such as high shots, low shots, and continuous tracking shots to tell an interesting and mysterious narrative. I will accomplish this by relying on visual storytelling through relevant mise-en-scene such as necessary props and performance of my actors. The story shall focus on a teen
