Dear Moderator!

Welcome to my A2 Media Studies blog that contains all of my work I've done which I started September 2012. A lot of effort has gone into this with my working partner so I hope you enjoy it!

Research and Planning - Meeting 2/Proposals.

For our first idea:
Our main idea is a female who's trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world, upbeat and "actionfied". There will be snippits of zombies, with fighting and weaponry in use. As the story line goes, she's battling her way through to try and find the people who created the outbreak, and destroy them.

Mis-en-scene:

  • Back-street allys of town, where it's dim and abandoned - no life there.
  • Bio-Hazard posters
  • Machine guns
  • Melee weaponry
  • Low key lighting

Sound

  • Zombie noises
  • Gun shot
  • Action synth and music 
  • Fighting and sound effects 
  • Sword 'swipes
Cinematography

  • Wide shots to place the scene
  •  Long shots of the main character
  • Possible over the shoulder shots with gun fire/zombies
  • Close-ups - followed by pan - slow motion to hear the bullet fire and then a zoom pan around the face to show fierce expression
  • Extreme close-ups of certain objects
  • Medium close-ups maybe of zombies
Editing

  • Fast pace editing
  • Panning of the main character
  • Crane movement from top to bottom of main character
  • Shot reverse shot - main character - zombie/gun - main character 

Idea two: A montage basically of a girl who's followed around by a stalker that's been intrigued for a while. He follows her to a party and drugs her, then she wakes up in a basement and mentally torture her etc.

Mis-en-scene

  • Bright lights in party
  • Dark allys where the stalker follows her
  • Party outfit
  • Broken high-heel from trying to escape
  • Smudged make-up
  • Rope
  • Chair
  • Dark lighting within basement 
  • Some source of light faced on her within the basement
Sound

  • Dripping water
  • Loud music for the party
  • Drousy sound where the pitch and pace lowers and slows down once drugged
  • Heavy Breathing
  • Sound effects on rope being tightened - cinematography and editing of this could be through her p.o.v and everything's blurry, medium shot of the guy tying her up.
  • Creaky steps 
  • Slow, creepy scene setting music.
Editing

  • Fast paced editing once waking up in basement
  • Slow editing of being drugged
  • Fade to basement scene
  • Blurred perseptive
Cinematography

  • Canted angle to show disorentation 
  • Short from high angle to make her look vulnerable
  • Extreme close-up of eyes
  • Long shot to establish scene and show the situation the girl's in
  • Close-up of rope tied hands
