Finished Storyboard

This is our storyboard that we created before filming to follow thoughout the making of the Fugative

Contributed: Luke sherlock, Ellis Trutwein and Callum Price

Wanted poster and peoples response.

When we were filming, we accidently left the poster of the fugitive (Ellis Trutwein) on the streets. Someone who we didnt know took a picture of the poster and put it on the net, thinking it was real. We found this amusing and took it like feedback for our poster.

Death Race Analysis

This film is an influence to us, as in the start of death race their main character gets framed of killing his wife. And in our film the same thing happens our main character gets framed of killing his wife and goes to jail. Also in death race the character escapes from jail and this happens in our film too, as our character escapes from jail but we won’t be filming our character escape we will just film once he has escaped. The bits that influence us are in the 11th minuet up until the 13th minuet
This is where the character has been framed:

Camera work:
The camera work in this film has lots of close ups, so you can see the emotions on the actors faces. also in this film they use lots of different types of camera work, as they film lots of clips from different angles and vary between close ups and long range shots, in our film we would like to have multiple clips with different camera work like they have used in death race. There are different shots used as well which allows you to see more of the scenery, so you can get more of a feel for the surroundings.
This is one of the close ups that we would like to do:

This is another shot that we like, the over shoulder shot:

Sound:
The sound that we like in this film is fast and loud action music, in our film we are hoping to use this type of music too.

This screen shot is where the action music reaches the highest intensity:

Titles:
Some of the titles in this film are small and discreet the colour of them is white so they don’t look to out of place. They have made the titles look very professional by having a normal font and the size of the text is a small and then they have made the title white. But they do have a variety of titles and they also have effects on titles, one of the effects on the titles is that they have made it so it looks like it is being typed across the screen. Then titles also jolt as they move to the next title, they jolt because of the moving of the engine in the background, there is also another effect where the title mirrors itself and this is to do with the movement of the engine as well. They also have added a word that is in red and capital letter amongst the normal text, they have done this top make it stand out and show the seriousness.

This is the plain title:

This is where the title jolts:

This is where they have added a bit of colour and capital letters to show the seriousness:

Preminilairy Questions by callum price

Does your film use continuity editing so that the sequence of events are clear and easily understood by the viewer?
The film contains all necessary bits to make the film make sense with the addition of overplaying the clips to really emphasise the person typing away making the video tense and dramatic.
Have you followed the directions in the brief? (A character opens a door, crosses a room and sits down in a chair opposite another character. An exchange of dialogue occurs.)
We followed the brief starting with a character opening the door, crossing the room and then sitting down. After this another scene takes place, elsewhere are two people who are exchanging dialogue sitting opposite each other.
Have you used match-on-action?
We used match-on-action by one of our characters walk towards a laptop back, then it cut to him sitting down and opening the laptop bag
Can you explain what a match-on action involves?
It is showing a clip of someone about to do something then it skips to the next clip and they have done it
Have you used shot/reverse shot?
No we didn’t use this shot
Can you explain what shot/reverse shot involves?
The reverse shot involves a conversation between two people and the camera moving to a different position of the two people.

Did you observe the 180-degree rule?
We used the 180 degrees rule when we was having our dialog scene, then went back to our business man then cut back to the two people having dialog again and when we cut back to them we made sure we used the 180 degrees rule.
Can you explain the 180-degree rule?
The 180 degrees rule is basically a 180 degree shot, so for an example if you were filming to people having dialog at a table then a if you went to change then camera angle to a over shoulder shot and then go back to 180 degrees after, then you would have to make sure that you went back to the same position were you filmed the first 180 degree shot. Because if you went to the other side to film the 180 degrees shot it would look like the two people had change seats

What role did you play in the making of the preliminary task? (e.g. filming, acting, editing, equipment organisation etc.)
My role is this preliminary task was being an actor, custom designer and to organise the scene we filmed in.
How would you assess your contribution to the group?
I contributed to the group as much as I could by making sure we had all the right stuff we needed to film our scene and made sure the scene was all ready to be filmed. I also put some of my own ideas into the film to try making it look more effective. I made sure that I had my custom for the filming

What have you learned from the process of making your preliminary film?
I have learnt a lot of things while making my preliminary task; I have learnt what the 180 degrees rule, how to use a camera properly and I have learnt lots of different camera shots. While making the film I learnt some new skills that we could use for our main task.
