Love Actually Recreation of Scene


Love Actually Scene Recreation: When David and Natalie meet.


Love Actually Scene Recreation Evaluation:
The decisions that I made in relation to the micro elements are limited. As for Mise-en-scene I used people of the Sixth form, so they were already dressing smartly. So, there was little amount of choices that I had to make while recreating this sequence. I have chosen however to take out some of the dialogue between David and the household staff as the people in my film felt uncomfortable speaking a large amount that is also why mine is slightly shorter as I cut pieces out to allow my cast to feel more comfortable. Sound however is a massive problem as the location on filming was quiet in person, but the camera has picked up a lot of the sounds through out the corridor. As for cinematography there is a limited amount as in the actual scene there is a lot of trail shots and no many cuts and different angles so I tried to stay as close as I could to this as I had already changed some of the other parts. Editing was tricky due to the large amount of background noise this means that hearing the actual dialogue is hard. Also editing was limited as it is mainly just long continuous shots. The greatest challenges in this task was defiantly casting as it was a struggle to find 5 people. However, even though that the outcome is less than satisfactory the fact is that it does show that I can use a bigger cast than one person. On reflection when making my actual final coursework I will use two people maximum as this will allow me to focus more on the shots and angles in the piece than having to direct and create 5 different parts. As I believe this would allow me to explore the full use of the micro-elements.

Cinematography in the Truman Show

Cinematography in the Truman Show  The scene I will be using to show cinematography in the Truman show is the Do something scene with Truman and his “Wife”. Straight away a medium shot is used to create a sense of relaxation between the two characters. This allows the viewers to analyse how Truman’s “Wife” is acting and the character that she is playing. So the medium shot helps to show a relaxation between the two people. It helps to make the film feel natural and comfortable and Truman won’t notice what is happening as there is hidden cameras everywhere.   The second type of camera shot used is a two shot which has been used to show the interaction of Truman and his “Wife”. It helps to show a relaxed nature between both of them and there familiar relationship. The next shot is an extreme close up that is zooming in on Truman’s “Wife” as she is advertising the “Mococa” This type of shot helps to show a massive change between what is real and what i

Key Scene from a British Film (As Coursework Task)

Key Scene from a British Film How does your film opening conform to the conventions of professional film openings?   My film opening conforms to the conventions of professional film openings through the use of still shots and a montage effect. This is conveyed in the opening of “The Kings Speech”. This helps the audience gather the information from each part of the montage and helps them, to understand where the film is set and begin to see what the narrative may be. My film does however develop on the opening from “The kings speech” which that the target audience is different as my target audience is younger as my film has a horror twist but still conforms to the convention of a big budget British film like “The Kings Speech”. Whereas “The Kings Speech” target audience is much more compact I believe that from the opening scene “The King’s Speech” is much more of an older spectator film as it has a much more historical narrative and is retelling a story from the 1920’s.
