Skins Presentation
As a group we had to choose a scene from a TV drama and analyse the mise-en-scene in that scene. We chose to analyse a clip from Skins and focus on the characters' sexuality. We split the different aspects up between each of us and I was focusing on lighting and props. We analysed the camera angles together.
Here is a link to the clip we analysed... >> Skins Clip <<

Research for Our Film Opening...
As a group we've been discussing some ideas of what we could do for our 2 minute film opening. So far the main idea is to base it on a man who has an obsession with a young girl; a stalker thriller. We've even had some ideas of different camera shots/effects/locations/props/etc.
For example, shots of the girl getting ready to go out and meet friends; extreme close up of her eyes whilst she's applying mascara, then fade into an extreme close up of stalker's eyes, then back to hers. Also, after she leaves her house; point of view shot from stalker's perspective following her down the street, she hears something snap under his feet behind her, as she turns around the camera ducks to hide behind a bush/tree/etc.
These are just very early ideas but we now have to do lots of research into previous stalker thriller films in order to get our 2 minute film accurate. One example is 'One Hour Photo' directed by Mark Romanek and starring Robin Williams in a very unusual role in comparison to his other work (...Mrs. Doubtfire!!).
He plays a lonely man who has an obsession with an apparently perfect family. He begins to take pictures of them and eventually exposes them as not so perfect by terrorising them.
The trailer for the film sums it up;
Although this film does not involve a man stalking a young girl, it contains themes that we would need to include in our film, which is why it is helpful for us to research such films.
Test Audience
Test audiences are vital in any film making process - Pretty Woman is a good example of this.
So yesterday we watched each group's Preliminary Exercise so that we could give constructive criticism to each other. The feedback for our's was that we hadn't taken enough shots (no shot of Charlotte sitting down onto the chair) and that we hadn't edited one part correctly (the clip of Charlotte walking past the camera is too long, we should have cut it shorter to fit in with the next clip). We will take note of these things and use them when we are filming our 2 minute film opening.
Other than that, our group (and all the other groups) have successfully used the 180 degree rule, shot-reverse-shot and match on action in our Preliminary Tasks.
