Evaluation
Within the production the individual roles everyone had to take to participate in the process of producing the short film which mainly were Chris Backway as the director due to having his short film being chosen between the various synopsis's and planning, Tom Clarke as prop and location manager who allocated and got approval for any land that we scheduled to shot the clips. Daisy DaSilva who was one of the co-prop manager and extra which helped out with props with tom but also make sure have either another actor or background characters within specific scenes and finally my role was the camera man plus camera schedule such as storyboards and decide what camera angles. The production stages of the short film were structured as pre-production using treatments, draft storyboards, proposing to the producer the film idea and location and risk assessment. The shooting period where we had production schedule and production diary throughout my shooting production. Finally, after collecting all the clips which we shot I converted towards the editing phase of the production where I did various editing techniques which were mainly influence by Edgar Wright. Some of my creative decisions were inspired by scenes such as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and The amazing spider man 2 graveyard scenes where the shot revolve around the actors to show sympathy towards the characters from the audiences view. However, it was mostly Edgar Wright who influenced most of the fast pans and clips which present either a long journey or long scene to keep the audiences thought on the movie with the storyline. An example of this would be 1:44 to 2:03 where main character is searching for information and location of his brother, which suggest a long journey with various camera shots such as mid, long and close up shots to present different surroundings, but also the use of short clips to shorten the clips and view the audience would need to see for the journey to keep relevant to the time and overall story line and keep the audience still interested.
The genre convention is a mixture of drama which is presented in the film through a family based storyline which natural present a dramatic background to the film, with mystery which is presented through the use of sound journey the character went through in the film. This aspect was inspired by the movie 'the usual suspects' due to the complex thinking through who is the person the main character in our short film is trying to find and what happened to him in the end.
The narrative structures of the film is that it's a single strand due to only having one main story so that the audience don't get confused on where their focus should be due to this film is based as a fast pace and strong imagery so they don't miss out on any crucial information.
Within the technical methods I was trying to recreate Edgar Wright's techniques of using small camera clips within journey's to suggest the length however only reveal to the audience the most relevant aspect of the scene to still keep them interest. A example of this would be 1:40 to 2:06 where he's running around the area to find and discover where his brother has been and where he can find him which then gradually leave him to where he start at the very beginning. The camera angles I used to portray different scenes and aspect of the storyline were long and established shots on where the Sanderstead church is first shown so the audience isn;t just placed in some random location, I wanted them to start naturally by presenting the area before we get into the meeting the main character and his objective. I also used mid shots as my main use of presenting the story so that it keep the focus less on the scenery and a object but more on the journey such as the scene where he sit down in his house and finds the crease on the photo which then present another character in the movie who become the characters objective, this allowed the audience to focus and try to figure out what he has discovered which is so important to him which allows them to embrace the mysterious factor of the stories genre. This then allows me to link to the use of close ups and extreme close up's on key object of the story such as the group of clip which show the process of the main character trying to discover who the person in the photo of him and his mum could be which through the use of mis-en-scene of him writing suggestion of who it could be on the paper to suggestion what is happening in his mind and presenting the information to the audience in written form. The variety of movement I presented within the stories running and searching clips were the use of panning and tracking shots, this is clearly present when the main character is searching the area for any information on the figure in the photo which was revealed to be the brother, the tracker shots were a mixture of individual tracking shots edited into one scenario to suggest different environments to present a longer journey. The use of lighting was suppose to be grey and gloomy which would suggest mystery and present a sympathetic atmosphere from the audience's point of view. The use of sound was the main feature and impact of the movie which gave it the name 'The Way' which was produced by Mark Hemsey, I used the music to suggest both some cuts to the beat so that both imagery and use of sound would harmonise with each other. A example of cut to the beat would be 7-9 seconds in the beginning of the film from switching between a acknowledging the location of the scene and starting scenario to identifying who the main character is for the audience but also who the main focus the audience will have to familiarise themselves with. The use of mis-en scene within the film are mainly based on the scenes where he's researching and discovering things about his suppose to be brother. A example of this would be 1:24 to 1:42 within the thinking out loud scene where he rights whatever he's thinking to provide information to the audience to keep them up to date on what going on without the use of dialogue, there also some scene which use mis-en-scene to present who gravestone they represent within the start and the end through flashing a image of a photo of the person.
