Story Board+ Script: 6th October 2011

Today in our lesson we had to take photos for our story board that goes towards our preliminary.
This is our story board, we made a couple of mistakes when taking the photo because this was our first time photographing a story board.
In shots 2+3 we took the photos from to far away and need to crop them down when shooting an also use a different angle in shot 2.
Also in shots 6+7+8 we jumped from photo to photo and it didn't look very continuos, so next time we are going to need to put some more shot in between the photo.
Sophie was our camera operator, Andrea was the police women and also our lights director.

9 frame analysis: 3rd October 2011

This is a 9 frame analysis of the opening sequence of sherlock Homes:

Rear window: 2nd October 2011

Rear Window

When first watching the opening sequence of Rear window it is put across that it is a happy but gripping thriller. Also when watching I could tell that there were some elements that make it stand out.

Miso-en-scene: It shows where the film is set throughout the title sequence, from the man’s apartment block looking though his window. You see all different people waking up, doing things though there windows.

Camera techniques: Also when watching it the producer uses loads of camera angles, like close up, long shot, extreme long shots, Pan view.

Editing: The titles are faded in and out of the sequence which creates a good mystery feeling.
