Movie Construction For The Advanced Portfollio

Movie Construction Steps for the Advanced Portfolio

Step 1: A brownish colour tone was added to most scenes during the editing phase carried out on Premiere Pro CS6. This was done to achieve a messy look whilst also remaining cinematic-like. This was done by using the 3-Way Colour Corrector in the Colour Correction tool.

Step 2: The Introduction of the title was created using the ‘wipe’ tool. The timing for the tool to work had to be adjusted accordingly to the movement of the character. Using this method was useful in 2 ways: it can prove to be an impressive style for an intro and wastes no time indicating whom the title refers to.

Step 3: Scenes had to be increased in ‘contrast’ in order to reduce pixels and make the images more sharp. This allows the audience to identify every detail that the director is trying to convey. 

Step 4: Music is always one of the most important features in a movie that creates an atmosphere of tension or drama. But in order to do that one must use the appropriate and suitable option. The music was very closely synced with the shots in the film. As the scenes progress, the tone of the sound tracks change as well. A clear example is the scene where the boy injects himself at the end of the movie. An exponential fade was added to the soundtracks so they don’t begin immediately and seem random. Instead they escalate slowly and sync with the scene. 

                                                                                                                                                        

Step 5:  Since there are no spoken dialogues in the film, using only music may seem monotonous and inevitably mundane. So sound effects were added to certain scenes so the audience doesn’t feel isolated from the movie.

Step 6: A couple of low angle shots were used in the making. This signifies superiority and gets to the point straight off.  It shows the distinction in class and how weak and vulnerable the boy really is.

Step 7: Blur helps focus on the main object while keeping the rest of it obscure. The camera is placed on ground level and emphasizes on his desperation and struggle.

Step 8: Both subjects are on the same level and signify equality. Camera is kept on a low angle shot and shows they’re on the same boat.

 Step 9: A close up on the boy’s expressions and curiosity. However this time it’s different from the election poster he had obtained earlier. This time he gives in to the temptation.

Step 10: A couple of footage was placed on top of each other.  Using the ghosting effect, slowing down footage and adjusting opacity gives it an intoxicating look.

 

 Step 11: The credits were also used changing opacity and slowed down footage. The font was a bold ‘Chapparal Pro’ with an added texture.
