Research and Planning: Shot Types

Cutaway: A cutaway is a shot type where the camera goes from poin1 being a person or place , then to point 2, before going back to point 1.
example shot 1 is of a man staring of into the distance, shot 2 is of what he is staring at, the camera returns to shot 1 looking at the man.


Jump cut: A jump cut is like a straight cut however continuity is not shown, the shots just seem to jump from one place to another. it can be used to show someones frame of mind or the passing of time.
Example: people are waiting around with nothing to do,  a jump cut is used and they are all in different places than before, showing that time has passed and that they are bored.


Matched Cut: A matched cut shows movement with another shot being used it is the insertion of another shot of the movement maybe from a different angle to show the movement is still occurring.

example someone is walking down a set of stairs, it cuts to a shot of their feet as they move down the stairs, then cuts to them being at the bottom of the stairs.

Research and Planning: Film Trailer Analysis

             



           

This is obviously a comedy film one way this is possible to tell is due to the voice over, it begins by explaining the plot and explaining the problem, then it shows that the only person who can do something is ace ventura, it tries to hook the audience in by showing his personality rather than the plot itself. so its become apparent by the way that they explain the plot immediately that they are comedy comes from the character rather than the predicament he is in.
The high key lighting and the bouncy sounding voice over immediately gives off the impression of a comedy film than anything else. although it start by saying that two tribes are going to war the voice over isn't serious.

Research and Planning: Genre Research

Horror: Examples

       

Whats required: Low key lighting, Dramatic tones to keep the viewers on the edge of their seat. We could use a low budget by doing something like jaws if we decide to use a monster, by using a specific tone or tune so that the audience understands the monster is close by or we could use a person and go for a typical slasher flick. Horror films are about keeping the viewers on the edge of their seat and keeping tensions high.  Good soundtrack is required to do this.

Comedy: examples
 

Whats required: A funny Script, with actors who can keep a straight face during the jokes or ridiculous moments, high key lighting, and happy bouncy music to get the viewers in a good mood. a large budget isn't needed to make a comedy film so it should be a realistic genre to make as long as we have a good script. Comedy films require good jokes that many people would find appropriate and have good fun laughing to. A very good scriptwriter would be required to make this.

Social Realism: Examples


       

Whats required: A social realism film is about a real everyday life however something may happen examples may be drugs, or some form of crime. This would be fairly easy to do and would require a small budget, social realism films can include a negative or positive feel in them, therefore it is difficult to say what i specifically would need except from realistic looking lighting, a soundtrack to keep the audience interested and a decent script of which would keep the audience interested.



Docudrama: Examples


Whats required: A Docudrama is a Documentary film that has been dramatised to give additional effect. films like this need a good concept to document first and then good actors and script to aid the drama, a god soundtrack could also help with the drama, but special effects such as slow motion and other things such as camera movements and shots would do it much better.
