Evaluation 1, analaysis of our film Viet-Con through screen grabs of edditing
Viet-Con
In screen shot 1 the image shows James and pat portrayed as the evil villain and bodyguard walking to where the main stand off will be with titles showing the audience who is who as the image is showing the backs of the characters making it hard for the audience to recognise them.our films setting is based in a dark and eerie setting in leatherhead right next to the swan centre car park,the image show James and pat walking down the ramp moving closer to the main stand off scene.the image shows James wearing a long reefer jacket to represent a traditional boss or leader and pat in a leather jacket to show the audience he is the bodyguard and worker of the pair.our camera work for this scene was also well directed because of they way we shot a mid shot of the backs of the villains to give an effect of conspicuousness towards the characters,we made this shot lighter and more dynamic as it was to dark to show the audience.
screen shot 2 Shows me, Connor walking towards the main stand off scene with one of the two bodyguards graham walking along side him to make sure he does not escape and cause trouble,the camera shot used is very effective because it is a mid angle and shows a dynamic point of view (POV) shot of James the villain looking at the current situation.
Screenshot 3 is a mid shot that shows the two henchman (Patrick Cowley & Graham Burgess) with the main protagonist between them (Connor Moreton). This suggests that Connor has been taken to meet with James but not by choice and again shows the binary opposition between the characters. This creates more and more enigmas (which is exactly what we wanted) and keeps the audience on their toes.
Screenshot 4 is a long shot that shows the start to the chase scene with Connor sprinting away with Patrick in pursuit. This indicates the genre to the audience allowing them to know what else is to come. Our film did follow the typical conventions of an action film with a chase scene leading to a final confrontation but with a twist. The lighting of this scene worked to perfection as we adjusted it through the use of editing to highlight Connor and make him the centre of the scene, this shows that this is his moment in the film and also suggests that he is getting away easily as Patrick has been blacked out.
Screenshot 5 shows our institution. We chose universal
because we believed that they suited our film best and we knew that they can
make any low budget film a success because of the notoriety they have with creating top blockbuster films.For example universal have created films such as ride along, jaws,Jurassic park and Inglorious bastards which all has aspects of our film,which is good because the company can advertise and market our film to the right target audience as they know the right audience proven by there previous films created.
Screenshot 6 is a low angle shot that shows the two henchman
with the main protagonist between them. We used our editing skills to highlight
Connor and make him look superior to the others with the camera aimed directly
at him from a low angle- this makes him look more important compared to the
other characters. It also shows Connor a little closer with the two henchman a
little behind him-this was to show dominance and make it look like the henchman
are ready just in case Connor tries to try anything. Screenshot 7 is a close up shot of James Hill (the main antagonist) exchanging a bit of dialogue with Connor. We first used torches from our phones to add lighting to James because it was very dark, however when it came to editing this proved to be aggravating; it meant that I couldn't highlight only James or get rid of the lighting already on him. It didn't seem to be too bad in this scene but it did become a problem for the later scenes.
Screenshot 8 shows the title of our film. It has gold text in bold on a black background-this makes it easily seen and catches the eye of our audience.this is effective because it gives the audience an insight of what our clip will be about,for example bold gold writing on a black background suggests to the audience that our clip will be about high stakes because of the element of gold and sinisrterism because of the mat black background.our title can relate to the film hunger games because the title of this film is a bright colour of orange and red (fire) and the film relates to adventure and mystery which attracts to our audience.
Screenshot 9 is an over the shoulder shot showing two characters exchanging a few lines of dialogue. The scene is blacked to create enigmas and make the audience wonder who the characters are. The scene first fades in and then a few lines are said before it fades out with the dialogue continuing over the scene-this suggests its a flashback and a bit of a back story for the characters and helps the audience to understand the situation that happens later.

Casino Royale opening sceane
In the opening scene of the film the first thing the audience see is James Bond talking on a secret frequency to another special agent suggesting something big is about to happen because of the secretiveness of the communication.The directer uses a pan shot of the African target in Madagascar before showing the audience an establishing shot of inner city Madagascar while using the feature of telling the audience where the scene is set with audio writing because of the unrecognisable location,Once the special agent makes a communication error with James bond the main antagonist the target then scampers away pushing anything out of its wake suggesting to the audience he is either incredibly important or has committed something huge giving the audience a sense of anticipation.The mise-en-scene of the clothes they are wearing are raggedy and light weight suggesting they are in a tropical climate and are ready to pounce to obtain the target or runaway quickly from the illegal cock fighting ring (which could be part of the plot).The scene then turns into a full on chase with no timidness or caution with the director using tracking shots to capture the chase as realistic for the audience as possible with both antagonists climbing and clambering through nooks and cranny's not stopping till they reach the end point of a building crane in the middle of the city giving the abidance suspense, danger and fear for the audience with them battling to the death until you find out James Bond needs to keep him alive while managing to keep himself alive before the target athletically jumps of the crane down to the city with James Bond following.

in the first 2 minutes of the film it starts of with an establishing shot of an exotic jungle to set the scene for the audience and sub plot of the film by giving a sense of adventure.Then the antagonist character Indiana Jones walks in front of the mid shot showing the audience who is the leader of the group.The directer then cuts to a discover slashing leaves to get to a barely made out relic symbol which instantly gives the audience a sense of fear because of the way the discoverer sprints away from the relic which could be a recognised warning,and as the group realises what he has run away in fear from,Indiana Jones (the main antagonist) shrugs of the warning by looking at it and turning away from it in the shrubbery.The directer then does a final impact shot where he has a close up on a arrow in a tree with the group walking timidly past the tree suggesting the realisation of what the group are walking into,this gives the audience the effect of death which the arrow represents,it could also represent that colonies have driven out or killed trespassers in the position the group are in the south American jungle.

The scenes have sinister aspects in our film to create one continuous theme throughout our film.
Lord Of The Rings Analysis
Lord of the Rings analysis
The opening scene of this film starts off with Smeagal (one of the main characters throughout before the ring cursed him) and Deagol in a Serene and jolly fishing scene where the camera does a birds eye view shot, moving slowly towards the main characters this gives the sense of calm and peace having a environment/Establishment shot to place the setting.This opening 10 seconds gives a good insight of the contrast between how calm everything is and how the ring destroys everything in its wake, no matter how spiritual or peaceful.
The directer then uses shots at a POV level to allow you to real engage and become one of the fictual characters,this is influential as after the two antagonistic characters have talked civilly Deagol gives the signs that he has caught a rather large fish by the way he struggles and cuts straight away from the conversation with Smeagol and suddenly gets dragged into the river which gives the assumption that deagol is too proud to let go off the rod until his human instinct kicks in too want to breath, leaving Smeagol worried about his so called friend.almost immediately after deagol lets go the director cuts to Smeagol showing him trying to scamper in the water giving the visual affect of danger,something shiny and out of place caught Deagol's eye it was the ring that destroys them all which was attempted to be disposed in the last film but failed showing the audience what is inevitably coming up through the film.once he clawed the ring from the bed of the sea having no regard for the soil in his hand or need to breath he scampers up onto the boat giving a relieved Smeagol the chance to pull him to safety.
Once Smeagol finds out deagol has this ring the directer uses medium to POV shots to help the audience visualise Smeagol and Deagols point of view as the two battle it out over this ring leaving the friendship and there most probable lifetime respect behind them Smeagol eventually strangles Deagol leaving him all the power in middle earth in his hands which then cuts back out over the land and uses long shots to show the audience the final piece of what Smeagol now has and how this Ring and storyline changes everyone and everything in a dark and sadistic way.

Diary Of Editing
Diary Of Editing
Friday 31st January 2014-Thursday 13th February 2014
The editing of our did get underway until this date which is much later than other groups because we had 3 scenes to film and me and Cory decided to concentrate on our blog tasks before we started the editing process as we saw this was a more efficient way to complete our media course.Our footage was a bit pixelated at the start because of the amount of light intensity we had to change in the rendering process but managed to edit the scene in a way it isn't noticeable to the audience.At the start of the editing process Cory was able to piece together all of our clips and place them in order,once he finished this he went over all scenes that needed light and toned the intensity up.
The tools we used on adobe premier elements was the cut and speed up tool which is very useful in our clip as the film is about fast paced animatics throughout.
