Camera angles and distances

Camera angles are very important and can be used to highlight important moments. They are used in various positions, angles, and distances. Each giving a different viewpoint or effect experience and sometimes emotion

I put all these photo’s together to signify camera distances

Camera Angles

An aerial shot is used to show setting and to highlight important moments or events and the characters currently in the shot

Examples or these used in action films are iron man and Kill bill

We will use this in our filming when the camera is on top of the car park looking down on Tim running up to t he library

Ariel shots

High camera angleThe high angle shot is the opposite of the low angle shot. The camera is placed above the subject and tilted to look down on the subject. This type of shot is sometimes called a bird's eye view. You can use it to create a sense of smallness in the subject or to show that the audience has a sense of looking over the subjects from a superior position. It also shows the subject in a moment of weakness, to show sadness or loss of power

It was used in captain America to show a sign of weakness as someone is loosing a fight.

We will use this when showing people jump off things to show the extreme of the jump and panic in the chase

They are used to highlight important moments or objects and show a characters expression to express to the audience the atmosphere.

It was used in pirates of the Caribbean to show and highlight Johnny deep's facial expression to show the tenseness in the scene.We will use it to show the

main characters anxiety and exhaustion whilst running

Eye line matches

Low camera angle

This shot shows the audience a view looking up at a subject. The camera is placed on the ground or floor and tilted to look up. A low angle shot, or worm's eye view, can be used to make a subject look bigger than it is. Or a person to look more powerful or more of a stronger character

This shot has been used in tomb raider for the cover of the film, it was used to show lara croft as a strong character looking powerful and determined

We will use this shot to show some of the jumps to show experience and power. And possibly even attitude

Camera Distances

Extreme long shots

It is commonly used in action films, it is used to show setting and an event involving a crowd

We will use this for the establishing shot and watching the chase with all the characters involved

An example of this shot in an action film is Spiderman where they are trying to show a dramatic incident in whole

A two man shot is to show dialect or relationship between two people which highlights specific important conversations relevant to the plot line, it is still a relatively long shot so you can see the two people clearly

We will use this is the beginning to show the ‘deal’ which explains the plot line and establish relationship between the main characters

Two man shots

It was used in mission impossible to highlight an important moment to the plot and identify relationships

Long shot

Long shots are used to show a characters whole body to highlight something they may be doing that is important or to show how they fit or don’t fit into the crowd

We will use this when we show the stunts so they are clear and easy to see and zoomed in enough to see it in great detail

It was used in Sherlock Holmes to show how the girl sticks out in a crowd and to highlight her importance

Close-upreacting to a situation occurring in the scene, it helps you to emotionally attach to an actor as it is up close and personal and shows the importance of their reaction

It was used in spider man to show the fear in her eyes to the situation and hoe bad the situation is for her to react like that

We will use this when we show a bystander being pushed out the way and show the surprise and fright in the expression

These are used to show expressions in an actors face, how they feel and are

MISE-EN-SCENE: SETTING AND PROPS

We scouted out local area for spots to film an action sequence. We needed an urban setting with plenty of obstacles for our freerunners to negotiate.

We also chose an urban setting so that people can relate to it.

We decided that a multi story car park would be a good choice, as they are dark, enclosed and have lots of opportunity for our free runners to shine and provide us with some compelling action shots an stunts.

The only prop we will use will be something to represent drugs, so we can imply that organised crime is involved in the storyline.

• Car park

• High street

• Park

We will use

We were thinking of using

We will not use

Multi-story car park in Sutton.

This is where we will set our opening. There is an opportunity hear to have good shots without distractions like people walking by. It also allows us to have some good stunts in our movie

Sutton high street.

We will not film here due to the fact that the high street will just be too busy. It also doesn’t give us a lot of diversity when it comes to a chase scene

Manor Park.

We considered filming here, however it did not fulfil our needs. The park wasn’t very big so we would not be able to spread out and entire film opening over it

First part of the chase, dark and indoors.

Common underpass.

MISE-EN-SCENE: CHARACTERS

• Hero – male, white. Teenage protagonist to relate to our target audience.

• Villain – also teenage, as those are the only actors we had available.

• Regular citizens – we may have some extras to pose as regular citizens, that are caught up in the chase.

MISE-EN-SCENE: COSTUME AND MAKE-UP

Protagonist - The Protagonist will wear what a free runner would usually wear. This includes tracksuits and a hoodie. We did play around with the idea that the protagonist would wear casual cloths but that will make some of the stunts in the movie very hard to do.

Pursuers – we had a lot to think about what the pursuers would be like and what kind of people they would be when decideing on there costume. We first played around with the idea of them being in suits showing them to be some kind of security or agents. We then decided we wanted the pursers to present a tuff challenge for the protagonist so we decided to dress them like free runners like the protagonist but there central colour being dressed in black to set them apart from the protagonist.

Antagonist – our antagonist will be Smartly dressed. We decided on him wearing a full suit to introduce him as an important character but to be set apart from the protagonist as a very serious and business like character.

SCHEDULE AND BACK-UP PLAN

Our filming schedule:

•12th March

Possible Setbacks:

What happens when it rains? – if it rains the we’ll do scenes the need to be done inside a building done.

SCRIPT

PLOT IDEAS

The plot is simply a drug deal gone wrong. Our protagonist is a free runner who collect and delivers packages to clients in this case the protagonist has to deliver drugs to our antagonist but quickly goes wrong when the protagonist tries to double cross the antagonist.
