'Privileged Information' plan for graphics

-

 Plan for the title graphics:

  • For the graphics, I want to use a 'typewriter' font
  • I will navigate the title across the screen at the opening of the film
  • I want the title to write across the screen and the sound effect of the typewriter to happen whilst it is being typed out
Plan for the credits graphics;

  • I want to use a similar font for the credits
  • Underneath the cast and crew credits, the song 'Happy Talk' will play, or something self-composed, with an eerie lullaby feel
Examples for title graphics - I might use a similar 'blood splat' on the last letter, with a similar font, though I don't want to give away the twist, so this may change;


I might overlay of the text - over the picture - will be similar to the example below. If not, I want my graphics to be rather simple, echoing the score and mood being created

Notes on short film- 'Operator'

-
  Cinematography: Beginning- use of slow tracking/ dolly shots- contrasts with the action- we are hearing of people in danger, anxious and in need of assistance- the slow editing and shots allow us to take that in. Close-ups- can see all facial expressions- we are able to see the Operator's thought process as she deals with the woman on the phone. Mid-shot in profile- Actor is silhouetted by her computer screen- lit by her computer- clinical, harsh lighting, creates further drama and tension. Frequent close-ups of Operator- we can see her thought process/ expressions, and the slow editing allows us to focus on the action and what the pair are saying to each other.  lighting - electronically lit- adds to the clinical and coldness of the film- not really any warm tones present in colour. The simple Cinematography contrasts with the action- the stillness of the camera adds to the tension as the spectator is forced to focus on what the Operator is saying and the situation of ...

'Privileged Information' Plan for Sound/Soundtrack

-
 Composition: The plan for my entire soundtrack is that it will be self-composed - I recently completed an EPQ, in which I had to compose a musical, so have well-versed knowledge on how to use composition tools etc. Sound effects: The type writer sound effect is one of the only effects I should need for the film, which plays over the inter title at the beginning of the film I will also use the sound effect of an alarm clock Act One: For Act One, the film opens with a 'Peaceful 'Morning' Underscore'  - I want to lead the spectator into a false sense of security with this piece - also, create humour as it will only last a few seconds before being suddenly cut off by the sound effect of the alarm clock. Similar to a tone created in 'Morning Mood' (Grieg)/ lullaby feel  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCEzh3MwILY Then next piece of music will be more sprightly and fast-paced - continuing this leading into a false sense of security - similar to the music of 'Kris...

Short Film - Treatment

  Act One :   The film opens with an overhead shot of our protagonist (Lena – female, roughly 25 years old), lying in bed at the beginning of her day. At this moment, We hear an optimistic, calming score (self - composed), emphasizing the calm of the morning, as the camera slowly zooms in towards her face. We then hear a sharp interruption to score by an alarm clock noise, already setting the audience on edge slightly. We then have a series of fast-pace close-ups, with quick editing, showing our protagonist preparing themselves for the day (teeth-brushing, biting into toast, slurping cup of tea, finishing with our protagonist putting on bright lipstick in an extreme-close up) During this sequence, the cuts between shots will be accompanied by a ‘whoosh’ sound effect, to make the spectator feel at ease – giving the film a ‘sit-com’ feel to start off with. This section will also be accompanied by score (original) The first act ends with our protagonist leaving their home with a ...
