Evaluation of continuity sequences

Mise-en-scene:
Mise-en-scene is when you look at what is in the scene; it means (In-the-scene) and its when the director and actors have thought about a deeper meaning to the scene. For example the scene with the gun in the draw shows the start of something bad and to connote danger and darkness; this is especially used with the ambient lighting; causing the scene to look dinghy and grim.

Lighting:

As mentioned before the lighting used in the last scene was ambient lighting which made it look natural and more impressionable; other lightnings consist of motivated lighting; where if someone where to turn on a light in a room there would also be artificial light from the crew behind but it leads the viewer to believe its the natural lighting; there is also chiaroscuro lighting where a background may be very light along with a dark forefront to make shadows without them being cast fully; then there is artificial lighting which uses 3 lights to lessen shadows and is widely used on the news to show a clear face and draw more attention to the person/people; in this shot alike the last annotation we used ambient lighting; making the shot easier and quicker; in this shot you can see there is a natural darkness and light as well to show mystery and a taint of good within the person but also being more evil by being portrayed as a black shadow.

High and Low angles:

High angles are used in the film industry to most commonly portray the person or object to have less power and or authority; whilst a lower angle portrays the person or object to have more power and authority; the first image* we used a lowish angle probably the lowest we have, it was to portray the illusion that the viewer was hiding behind the person; this isn't how this shot is typically used but we thought a variation was a good idea. The second screenshot** we used a high angle to show how the person is heading for danger and is unaware of what is possibly going to happen to him; we also made it so after the person gets the gun there will be no more high shots so he has more power.

Different shot distances:

We only focused on one main shot distance, apart from medium shot which is 50% object and 50% area, we also got a extreme close up which we used to portray the persons emotion of fear; as he looks side to side his eyes also show worry; this add to the emotive of fear.

Any camera movement:

Camera movements consist of pan, tilt, zoom, and track. Pan follows the target without moving the camera making it show the most important thing to look at; tilt is almost the same as pan except its on an x and z axis rather than y and x; zoom is where the camera stays put while the lens zooms in on the target; and track is almost the same as pan although the camera follows the object to either make  it maintain speed or to show the effect of being with the object. we used pan in this shot to show the surrounding and destination. .

Fades:

At the end of our film we used a sound fade and a visual fade in order to keep a mysterious effect; it also makes the ending less abrupt
