Short film research: (one small step)

 CAMS

  • An establishing shot shows the audience to get a perception of where the scene is taking place, especially if has changed or becomes relevant in the scene.

  • The two shot allows audiences to see the connection between the girl and her father and the significance the relationship holds for each of them.

  • The medium close-up allows for an emphasis on the character's face without only showing her face.

  • The wide shot was able to show the environment and for the audience to understand what had happened.

Mis-en-scene

  • The acting of constant laughter reflects the emotion making it more obvious to audiences.

  • The costumes, at first, were able to reflect the hopes and dreams of the young girl.

  • The dark, gloomy atmosphere after the death allows for the audience to understand what the girl is going through and sympathize with her.

  • The setting remaining constant over all those years helps the audience to understand the father's love for his daughter never changed.

Editing

  • The zoom shows the audience the emotion that the girl has and how much the moment will go on to impact her.

  • The fade-in allows for a more seamless transition that goes almost unnoticeable.

  • The dissolution makes the transition from past to present more smooth, helping the audience to understand that although time has passed, not much has changed.

Example Films

  • Dog

  • Black Adam

  • Dune

Elements we like

  • Establishing shots is crucial to the story, if not already expected

  • Dissolve transitions are often the best way because they are noticeable but right at the perfect level, so scenes flow right through

  • Using a wide shot to have the same effect as an establishing shot allows for more variety of camera angles

Elements we don't like

  • The acting in this was almost overdone in certain parts and needs more maturity to it.

  • The medium close-up was not the best shot to be used. A close-up or extreme close-up would have done a better job.
