Filming Log, stardate 70636 On the 25th February, we attempted to film the first few shots of the film. We managed to get a few of the first shots filmed, however the weather was not optimal. It was a really overcast day, with light rain. The rain gradually got heavier as we filmed. We wanted to have a nice sunny day for filming. We will attempt to re-film these shots as soon as we get the opportunity and the weather is good. We are yet to decide whether we will use these shots in the final production or if we will use the more up-to-date ones, as there is a possibility of continuity issues. Also, during filming we discovered an issue with sound. Because it was a windy day it was hard for the camera mic to pick up my voice, so therefore we have decided to use an audio recording program on my laptop since it is already being used as a prop. Then we can combine the audio and video clips in post production to make better audio quality. Ideally, we would like to film without any wind...

Red Fi V e Treatment Three teenagers break into Apex bank to steal millions of pounds... from behind a computer screen. This idea may sound impossible, getting into a millionaire's account and taking their life’s earnings, with a few simple clicks of a mouse. This hacking team, to whom stealing money by the millions is simple, are the lesser known greyhats called Red Five. Meet the team Noah : Played by Aaron Esteban, Noah was born into quite the poor family. They were barely getting by, until they were saved by his father's massive tech company. They came into a lot of money, and since he was an only child his dad taught him how to code and build hardware. This skill has made him the handyman of the group, as he can create gadgets and software that most adults couldn’t even dream of building. Ben : Played by Eoin McCoy, he is the brains of this operation and the mastermind behind the creation of red five. As one of six children, he spend most of his childhood wi...

Titles The film opens with a title card indicating the rough location and time of the film. The title card reads “Newark, New Jersey September”. Over the remaining of the opening, the production companies names are placed over the opening shots, which eventually resolves to the main title of the film. Over the next few minutes of the film, actor names and other names are overlayed on screen. Music The music starts with an orchestral instrumentation that continues throughout the opening scenes of the film. The music is quite upbeat yet relaxing, with differing dynamics and instrumentation to reflect the camera shot on screen. I would say that the music for this opening challenges the codes of this genre as you would most likely expect something much more rock-styled than orchestral for an action film. Shots/Mise en scene/Character An orchestral instrumentation begins behind the entire opening. After a few seconds on screen, the title fades to black, and then fade...

Titles The titles of the episode open with the production companies of the series. The titles of the film pause until the end of the opening, when the main title card is displayed on screen. Music The opening music is quite eerie, with simple piano starting and light strings in the background, but as the shot climaxes, the music comes to an abrupt end as the camera cuts to the shot of Elliot on the train. Shots/Mise en scene/Character The episode opens with the main character, Elliot, giving a monologue over the opening credits of the episode. This is followed by a close shot of some business men, believed by Elliot to be “the top 1% of the top 1%, the guys that play God without our permission”. This opening monologue is likely meant to appeal to the rebellious and anarchistic side of the viewer, encouraging them to fight against the establishment and to break the status quo. This shot zooms out slowly as the tension builds in the music, with a sudden jump cut to b...

Titles The first minute or so of the film shows the names of the actors of the film and other important people involved in the films creation. The titles are all a simple blue text with a black background. The titles then fade out to the opening shot of the film. Music Throughout the opening of the film there is an orchestral instrumentation. It is very light yet almost eerie, and shifts between major and minor keys. There is a spike in tension once the men arrive to search for E.T.. Shots/mise en scene/characters The film opens with a wide shot of the night sky, and it slowly pans down. As it pans down, the sky fades from pitch black to a lighter shade of blue. As the camera stops panning down, we get a shot of what appears to be a thick forest. Then we cut to another wide shot of the forest but it is in the background now, with a spaceship in a small clearing. The camera is slightly obscured by tree branches and foliage. The camera then fades to a tracked shot of...

Titles The film opens with the names of the production company and the director, followed by the main actor of the film. The title of the film. The titles are all a basic blue font in uppercase lettering. Music There is no music playing during a large part of the opening, however at about 2:40 an orchestral instrumentation begins playing. The music is slow and happy. However after Ferris’ parents leave the house the music becomes much louder and heavier. Later on during the scene when Ferris is talking to Cameron on the phone, there is a change in music. While the camera is on Cameron, the music is slow and weighted, whereas when the camera is on Ferris, the music is happy and uplifting, almost Hawaiian style. Shots/Mise en scene/Character The film opens with a fade in wide shot of a large house, with 3 cars outside. We can hear a woman repeating the name “Ferris”, then shouting for “Tom”; we can assume from this that the woman is the mother, Tom is the father and Ferri...

Titles The film opens with the Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures splash art. It then cuts to presumably a computer screen with arbitrary symbols displayed. Out of these symbols, the title of the film, “THE MATRIX”, is shown on screen. Music The film opens with little to no music, almost inaudible at the start, however as the film progresses the music becomes more audible. We can tell that it is an epic orchestral instrumentation. It then cuts out as the main action of the opening begins. Throughout the rest of the opening there are various instrumental intermissions to emphasise certain actions, such as police breaking down a door. Shots/Mise en scene/Character The film opens with a close up shot of a computer screen, displaying sequences of endless numbers. The camera zooms in to the number 506, and the screen distorts into a CGI image of the distorted 0. It then cuts to a close up shot of the end of a torch, shining directly into the camera. The camera pans o...
