Editing:

After the ident it fades to black, then it fades in to the American flag. It slowly zooms out to a POV handheld camera of the congress. This is when you see the first zombie, which establishes the genre. The next transition zooms out so you see the world on fire and it zooms back in. In the opening scene there is only cuts used except at the end where it fades out. In the title sequence there are only fades used which looks smooth along with the slow motion of zombies running.

Mise-en-scene:

Throughout the title sequence you see zombies. The slow motion captious the horror made from the costumes and well done make up. The props used also back up the genre such as the AK-47, and burning car. All the zombies have blood dripping from their mouths and have cuts and bruises.

Sound:

At the start you hear a VO establishing the narrative. The American national anthem is played put sounds rusty. This suggest the end of the world as well as the diegetic on-screen sound of zombies grunting and screaming. When the zombie burbs it emphasises the comedy genre of the movie. The VO also says the name of the movie Zombieland. When the title sequence is playing rock music is playing as people fight zombies in slow motion. There is no diegetic sound as the only thing you hear is the music. At the end a zombie crashes into a car window when this happens you hear the diegetic sound of the glass breaking as well as a church bell.

Conclusion
Having looked at the order of the titles I expected the idents and company names to appear first (which they did) followed up by the names of the actors. I expect the title of the movie to appear least but here it appears in the middle with the caster, musician, costume designer, etc after the title. I think I will follow the same order I think, bar having the movie title appear in the middle

WORLD WAR Z – Big Bold, transparent text, flashing images in text, Black background, fades to forest

Editing:

There are only cuts used in the title sequence, the pace of editing isn’t too fast except at the very end when you see the world war z title the editing becomes very fast passed so images are flashing on screen. There is a clip in between each text that pops up.

Mise-en-scene:

The clips they use are very smart as it starts of really peacefully and shows peoples everyday life as well as natural life such as animals. As it goes on the clips get more violent such as aggressive animals and talk about the end of the world. There are news clips of politicians talking about how the world is dying. At the end there is a clip of wolves ripping apart another animal.

Sound:

There is a faint sound of a heartbeat as the idents are popping up. When the text first appears you here music start playing. The music is kind of fantasy sci-fi and is something you would expect to hear in a zombie genre like Resident evil. At around 1:43 non-diegetic sound starts with a lot of news/radio reports saying “good Morning”. As the clips go on you hear the weather reports. You can hear a news reporter talk about a virus. There are clips of reality and talk shows in the middle of clips of violent acts like dolphins dying.

Evaluation:

This is a very smart intro as it explains the genre. It starts of very peaceful and rapidly gets more intense as there is talk of the end of the world and images of animals dying. The editing picks up pace as the clips get more intense. The inrto is telling us about how we are destroying the world with CO2 and other world problems. The Text is very dull but is very effective.

Micro Horror Drama - Storyboard

Before we start filming we created a short storyboard so we have a sort of idea of what to film when we get to the filming location.

Micro Horror Drama - Continuity Sequence

Before we started filming the micro drama we did a small continuity sequence.


We did this so we could learn how to use the cameras as well has how to make a sequence with smooth editing. We also learned how to use the editing software, so when we get to editing the micro drama we know what to do.

Micro Horror Drama - Production

First we went to the location, we discuses where to put the cameras and what type of shots to use. After setting up the cameras and doing some test shoots we started filming the final product.  

After filming all we needed we started edition. I edited the second part, the sequence when we where are the scary house. I used Pinnacle Studio 17. I have never used this program before but i have some experiences in editing using Adobe Premier Pro. 

I learned the basics quick, such as importing, exporting, and cutting. I also learned how to cut sound from a clip and add sound effects.

I didn't do any advances editing it was more the basics so i could get used to the editing software. The one thing that was a bit more advanced then the rest was making the thunder and lighting part, it took some time to learn how to change the color of the screen and for how long but after a while i got it to look good. 

I had a very big problem at the end and that was adding the credits, not only did i run out of time but i didn't get the rolling credits to work, that's why when you see the clip at the very end it is very long, this space was meant to be filled in with the credits.

Editing

Throughout the clip we only used cuts except for one part, when they are at the haunted house there is a quick fade to another clip to show the passing of time. We only used cuts because this was our first project so it was a good way to learn how to use the editing software. If i knew how to do other transitions i don't think i would, except for the transition from around the fire to the house. The reason for this is because i feel the cuts add effect and the reason i would change the one transition is to show the passing of time, i think a dissolve would have worked.

Micro Horror Drama - Post production

Post-Production

After finishing up the editing and exporting it. We put it up on YouTube so we could have a mini screening. We didn't put in as much effort as we could have but we used the time to get used to the cameras, and editing software, we where also under time pressure.  

Sound

For the first sequence the only form of sound that was used was diegetic. Most of the sound heard was the on-screen sound of us talking as well as occasionally you could hear the fire sizzling. There is occasionally some off screen sound of cars that go by but we didn't know how to remove or dim it down. When it cuts to the scary house the first sound you hear (thunder) is non-diegetic, After that there are some non-diegetic, crickets as well as an owl to fit with the genre. The scream you hear is also non-diegetic because of its strong effect to the scene. At the end when there is a freeze frame at the end the non-diegetic off-screen superman theme song starts to play as the credits come up. 

Mise-en-scene

In the first sequence the costumes give you a small idea of who has what role, for example the hero is wearing red, and blue which connote"good", the villain is wearing black or dark colors which connote"bad". We did this so it would fit in with propps character theory. As the campfire scene continuous the lighting gets darker and darker which fits with the horror genre. When the scary story is being told there is a flashlight that gives a mysterious vibe and is common with other horror movies. The props used in the first sequence are marshmallow which fit in with the campfire setting.

In the second sequence it starts of with thunder and lighting which fits the location and genre. When the villain is laughing he is holding a pitchfork and the lighting is set to make the mood more scary. We integrated an evil laugh which fits the horror genre. The magical leaf is the prop given to the hero by the donor to defeat the villain. At the end the hero is doing a heroic looking up pose, telling the audience he won.

Cinematography 

The micro drama starts of with a medium to long two shot of 2 characters sitting down. It then cuts to an establishing shot of all the characters sitting around the fire. It cuts back and forth so the person talking is in shot. It then cuts to a low angle medium to close up shot of the donor/ dispatcher telling a story. After the story is told it cuts to a low angle establishing shot of the haunted house. it cuts again to a long establishing shot where you see the characters looking up at the house. There is then another low angle shot to capture the atmosphere of the scary house. There is an eye level long shot when you hear the scream and the characters walking/ jumping down the stairs. There is then a low angle medium shot of the hero talking to the audience. It cuts to a low angle medium shot of the villain with dim scary lighting to fit with the genre. There is a two shot as the donor gives the magical object to the hero. There is a 180 pan tracking shot as the hero run to save the princes. As the credits come up there is a freeze frame. 

Micro Horror Drama - Script

Pre Production

First the group and i started planing what the micro drama was about.  We landed on a over the top horror genre. We did some spider diagrams of what to wear, where to shoot, who should play what role, etc. After knowing a rough draft of what we wanted to to we did a story board (see bellow) as well as a Script (see bellow), We didn't really scout for locations, some of the class mates new good places to shoot.

The script

So they just went outside, and they took their car to drive a bit further inside the wood. Basically what happened was that eh, the husband he left his wife in the car and said "I'll be right back" and then he actually never came back and she froze to death in the car. So now the house it's still standing there all by itself and it's all old and it's really...

I don't know it's kind of scary. I went around it last time and it was just so creepy, just the feeling of it and thinking of that story...

Sound

 The non-diegetic Christmas music starts as the working title screen is up, It continuous on as the voice over starts. Just by listening to the music and hearing what the voice over is saying you can tell the genre. When the mother opens the door a non-diegetic Christmas jingle starts playing, you also hear the first diegetic on screen conversation. As they great the voice over talks about her live, like reading a diary. When she changes clothes the music changes again to a more romantic song, the lyrics are parallel. When she talks to her uncle you can hear in her voice she is uncomfortable. You can hear diegetic off-screen chatter in the background as well as glasses clanging. When the slow motion starts classic romantic music starts playing. The second the slow motion stops the music goes back to normal. When she hears what he says about her the music changes to “All by myself”. The Music starts of as non-diegetic but ends up being diegetic.

Editing

There are mostly only cuts used throughout the hole into. At one point there is a freeze frame that then dissolves to another location and time. There are also some dissolves when she is in her room which indicates the passing of time.

Mise-en-scene

The setting sets the mood straight of with the heavy snow and winter dressed people. This tells the audience straight away that its winter and along with the Christmas sounds. The couples walking in the background gives away the genre which is romance.  The mother is wearing old fashion clothes which is backed up with the old props in the background, and wallpaper, telling the audience she is old fashioned.  You can see on Bridget’s facial expression she doesn’t want to talk to her mother. When she changes clothes you can see by her facial expression and posture she feels uncomfortable. By looking at her she feels uncomfortable around Uncle Geoffrey. When she is around her father she seems much more comfortable as does her father. Her father is holding a bottle of wine as well as smoking; these props indicate that he doesn’t want to be there. The reindeer jumper that he has on is a red flag for Bridget ruining her hopes of liking him. She looks annoyingly at her mother as her mother embarrasses her. When they are alone they both look very uncomfortable, him more than her. When she walks past them after they talk behind her back, you can see she is trying to hold it together as she is very hurt. The snowed over party hat tells the audience that the party is over. When she watches Frasier it tells the audience she is alone and has nothing better to do. As time goes on her ashtray fills up and her wine bottle empties. She is in her Christmas pajamas drinking wine again is a sign of her being alone. She starts dancing and singing for all by myself telling the audience she is drunk, also the fact that she chugs a glass of wine.

Cinematography

The movie starts off with a long to medium shot to establish the time of year, as well as the English taxi tells the audience she is in the UK. There is a tracking shot as she gets out of the car and walks to the house. When the mother opens the door it’s an over the shoulder shot. The next shot is a high canted angle. When the mother is talking to her friend the camera shot is a medium two shot. They use medium to close up shots when they are having a conversation. There is another two shot when her mother looks at what she’s wearing. There is a dolly shot zoom out to show what she is wearing. The camera moves down to a close up of her butt as her “uncle” grabs it. It cuts to a medium close up of her face to see that see feels uncomfortable. There is an over the shoulder as you see her uncle dancing. There is a medium close up of her and her father where the audience sees her facial expression and know she has a good relationship with her father. There is a hand held POV shot as the camera looks at the man. There is a POV dolly shot as the camera in slow motion moves towards the man, then it cuts to a close up of his face. There is another POV as she looks down at his jumper. There is a two medium to close up shot as they uncomfortable talk. There is a freeze frame so the target audience can see her face. There is a wide long shot as she is in the sofa smoking. There is then a POV as she watches Frasier.

John Wick is the first John wick movie, it more or less came out of the blue as there wasn’t a lot of marketing for it. It is very well made action movie from my point of view. It made a profit of over $50,000,000 and because of its positive feedback John Wick 2 is in production. The only information so far is that Keanu Reaves will be in it (Info from IMDb)

Opening (Length 2:06Min)

Summit Entertainment Intro

Thunder Road Intro

0:34 Summit Entertainment Presents, in big bold letters and grey colour to fit with the action genre. Non-diegetic helicopter sound

0:37 Thunder Road Pictures Present, same font and colour as Summit entertainment.  Non-Diegetic helicopter sound continue. Radio broadcaster starts talking non-Diegetic.

0:42 87Eleven Productions same font. Non- diegetic Helicopter sound getting louder. Radio broadcaster talking about the weather to be specific “Thunder and rain last night”

0:45 Definite films same font. Non- diegetic helicopter sounds like it fly’s by.

0:52 fade in to an establishing wide shot of a used old warehouse. It is dark and poorly lit, in the background you can see a big city lit up. The Non-diegetic radio broadcaster is still talking about the weather. You can hear a faint car sound.

 0:58 the camera slowly zooms in as a car drives in to shot and crashes. As the car drives into shot you can hear the diegetic car engin as well as the raido broudcast still on. As the car crashes you can hear the metal crunsh and the tiers squick. Non-diegetic soft slow music starts to play.

1:04 – 1:14 the camera cuts to a low angle medium shot of a man falling out of the car. There is a diegetic sound of the car door opening. The camera tilts down to the man falling down to his knees. His face has cuts and bruises. He is wearing a black suit which fits with the black SUV. He grunts when he tries to stand up and you can hear his feet shuffle as he tries to stand up. He is holding his stomach and has a bloody hand. His facial expression tells the audience he is in pain. The Non-Diegetic music gets a bit more intense but is still soft.

1:17 there is a cut to a close up of his hand. His whole left hand is bloody but you can make out that he his wearing a wedding ring. His other hand is holding on to his stomach. The bloody hand backs up the genre which is action, thriller. There is diegetic sound of his suit scraping along the concrete as he struggles trying to stand. There is the faint noise of the non-diegetic radio broadcaster. Talking about what a good day its going to be.

 1:20 It cuts to a long shot of the man falling over. The non-diegetic sound of the radio is still playing, you can her the diegetic sound of him grunting and his suit against the concrete.

1:25 there is another close up of both his hands resting against his stomach. Both his hands are bloody along with his suit. The radio broadcast can not be hear any more.

1:27 It cuts to another close up where you see his face. He is breathing heavily and looks as if he is in pain. You can see the cut he has on his nose and side of his face.

1:29 there is another cut to a close up of him taking out his phone.

1:31 it cuts to a medium shot of him looking down at his phone.

1:33 There is a close up of his phone as he presses play on a video. His iPhone screen is bloody from him pressing play. The video is of a peaceful view of the ocean and a woman. The Diegetic sound of the waves are heard. There is a continuity shot back to his face and the phone. You can hear the woman talking in the video and calling the man John. The Audience now know the injured man is John Wick. The video is peaceful but his phone is bloody and he is dying.

1:49 There is a medium shot of John slowly laying down on the ground. He closes his eyes and sighs. The sound is still playing from the video. He drops his phone and releases his breath, making the audience think he is dying, again linking back to the genre.

2:00 There is a cut to an establishing shot where you can see the crashed car and John lying dead on the floor not to far away from the car. The cars emergence lights are flickering as the camera zooms out the non-diegetic music gets more intense until the cut at 2:06.

There are clear signs that connote John Wick being an action genre. The blood anchors the action genre and the video clip signifies that the movie takes place in America, it does this through the accent.
