First Draft Evaulation
This is the first draft of are thriller opening. There are many things wrong with this first draft, we had to take some things out and replace them with some other clips. For example in this draft you do not see the scene where jack walks down the stairs and steps on the glass we added this as we wanted to build up the integration scene. we also decided to add the shots of jacks phone to see who he was talking to, which happen to be a mysterious man named Rodriguez. finally we added a scene where Danny is watching the exchange of the envelope so the audience knows how jack knew about jack having the envelope in the first place.
Cinematography
This short clip shows all the shots that can be used when filming. these shots consist of, long shot, medium shot, close up, extreme close up, point of view over the shoulder shot, low angle shot, high angle shot, crane shot, rolling shot, pan shot, tracking shot, and the tilt shot.
long shot- this shot is a locked shot which means there is no camera movement of any sort, they are usually used to show the actors or actresses surroundings.
medium shot- this is one of the main shots you see in filming, they are used for dialogue sequences and they allow the viewer to pick up the characters movement and gestures.
close up- close up is used to focus on a person or an object.
Extreme close up- extreme close ups are very similar to a normal close up but a lot more closer.
point of view- this is shot is used so the audience can see what the actor or actress can see.
over the shoulder- this shot is used to show a conversation between two or more people.
low angle- this shot is used to show how powerful someone is.
high angle- this shot is used to show how weak and vulnerable someone is.

Director:

Editing
The first shot is around 9 seconds long and is a slow pace. It starts slow for the viewers to get to grips of what is going on and to see the character and the plane. They then use a eye-line match when he looks towards the field, then the camera focuses on the field. The camera shows a low angle in the field, this is dramatic irony has occurred as the audience knows where he is the but the pilot doesn't.
Sound
The scene starts off using diegetic and non diegetic sound as the pace speed up and high pitched soundtrack sets the mood for the audience to give them a better understanding of what is about to happen. Non diegetic sounds gave a sense of reality. Using sound bridges helps to build the continuity throughout the scene and sets a the mood for the last shot is carried to the next. The sound effects put emphasise on the audience's perception of the shot and makes the scene more thrilling to watch.
Mise en Scene
You can see that the character is alone in a deserted area showing he is in the middle of no where. He is wearing a suit that shows that he is out of place and doesn't belong their. In the first 5 seconds his body language shows he is stiff and shows that he is nervous and scared. He starts running that shows the audience he is trying to escape or out run something.
Camera
The camera uses a medium shot of the character which allows the audience to focus on him and the area. They then use a wider shot of him and and shows the audience the landscape around him. The camera follows him at the same pace, this allows the audience to see his movement as he falls and the camera is positioned at a low angle. Where the audience see the state of his body and see if anything has happened to him.
