Influence in Film Idea



Our influence for our idea was the introduction to a TV Programme called 'i love it'.



Mis en Scene

The introduction of this TV programme was filmed through the used on different shots, colour, characters and locations, which creates the 'happy' and energetic atmosphere we're aiming for to fit the song choice. A majority of the introduction was filmed in sunny weather, excluding the section where the characters was in a night club. The character was dressed informally, what someone would usually wear on a typical day. Their costume was mostly shorts, vests and shirts which was very colour, keeping the introduction 'cheery' and keeps the audience interested in the video. The prop that was used include sunglasses and bubble gum. These props are perceived as happy things to wear and do.

Camera Shots/Angles/Movements

Camera Shots

There was several camera used in this introduction. These included medium and close up for the audience to focus on the character facial expression. Long shot and extreme long shot was used which demonstrates the environment the characters was in and shows what the characters was wearing. Extreme close up was used, especially when the girl was drawing on the mirror with her lipsticks, which draws automatic attention to what the character was doing. Two shot was also used just to demonstrates there more than one character, which also creates the social atmosphere.

Camera Angles

The first angle which was used was high angle when viewing down on the group of friends when they was on the grass, which views all the friends. Low angels was used in several shots, mostly combined with medium and close ups for the viewer to look up at the characters. Slant, or 'dutch tilt' was in used on some shots, gives a more dramatic and interesting effect.

Camera Movements  

Tracking, or 'crab' was used to track when the girl held the camera and was moved in circles. This focuses more on what the characters are doing and has a more interesting effect. Pan was used in some shots, which just makes the visual seem more energetic. Tilt was used in several shots and for the same reason as pan, it's creates a more energetic atmosphere since the visual is everywhere. Zoom was also used to view in more shots. The zoom in this video focused more on the characters and the props which were used.

Editing

A majority of the editing techniques which were used was straight cut, which is the most common shot. Jump cut was used at times which speeds forward time and focuses more on the important areas. The pace of editing is extremely face, which mostly creates a dramatic and energetic atmosphere. Match on action was used when female character closed the door; this focuses on the character's action.
