We decided to research a bit about films like ours and look at the different features to see what we liked or disliked. To do this we chose to watch two tragedy film openings and make notes on the camera angles, mise-en-scene and editing techniques and identified what we wanted to borrow, change or throw away.
The first film we chose was Titanic. For camera angles, we found a lot that we could use. We identified three main camera angles used and decided that they would all be great for our opening in order to create the mood for our film. For mise-en-scene we found also found a couple of things we can use to help build sympathy for the viewers on the characters and situation. Lastly, for Editing Techniques, we only found one thing that we can use, which will also help us to create the mood of the situation. I will now attach a picture of our 'Film Grid' for this film that explains this work in more detail:
The second film we chose was Cyber Bully. For camera angles, we found two ideas that we want to use, one that was not included in the last film. We want to use this in order to held our audience connect with the characters and become aware of the character's emotions. For mise-en-scene we found also two ideas that we want to use, again one that was not included in the last film. We want to use this in order to create an opportunity for the viewers to connect and relate to the characters. Finally, we found another two things that we would like to use however we have decided to change them a little to fit our film. I will now attach a picture of our 'Film Grid' for this film:
We have also started looking more at our genre as a whole and have done research on the overview of features in a tragedy film, popular actors and directors within the genre, the first ever tragedy film made and a timeline of the genre. I hope to get this up in the next few days!
See you soon.
