Project Log - Week 6

This week I have looked at the opening sequence of film and looked at the Camera Language, Editing and Mise-en-scene in the start of the opening sequence. The Mise-en-scene for these opening sequence is that the light is natural, the location a real, Simple and they are in working class locations. The Camera language used is hand held making the camera movement jerky. There is a lot medium and close ups of main characters in British Social realism. The editing conventions is that there is long take, there is simple or minimal editing that is being done also the editing is slow pace.
This will have an impact on my work as I will know where to shoot my film to make  it feel more like a British Social realism. The methods that I will use are the Camera being jerky to make you get the feel as if the film is realistic.There will not be much editing that will be taking place as there is not much in other British Social realism films. Looking at the opening sequence for these films the area do not seem to be very nice places so I will take that on board and use that for my opening sequence making it be shot in working areas. My actors will be very natural as they will be untrained. This will be bring more realism to my opening sequence as possible.
This week I have been looking at opening sequence for the films Scum, Bullet Boy and Kes where I saw all of the camera work, Editing and mise-en-scene take place
