PSYCHO

Psycho is an old horror film where back in its day was the pinacle of the horror genre. It begins with a woman having a casually having a shower, the film is in black and white whichmakes everything look clear and pure, as we are seeing




  In this image it shows water being washed down a drain this does not seem strange but however in the film PSYCHO there is a scene in which a woman is having a shower, then a dark shadow appears on the shower curtain and then we see the woman being stabbed to death. So this image shows that her life is being ashed away.

In this image there is a newspaper which has a heading which says "okay" when from the previous scene we see that she is clearly not okay she is actually being murdered so it is very ironic.







This shows a hand which looks like a woman's hand resting on a wall but there is a deeper meaning in that she is trying to cling on to any hope she has of staying alive but it is in vain.

MEMENTO

memento has a strange opening sequence as all we see in the shot is a manly looking hand with a polaroid picture in it, although this may seem to normal he is shaking the polaroid picture which makes the picture become clearer but in this case it is going from being clear to slowly fading out, from this i think that he is trying to forget a memory or an act that he has committed previously. maybe a sign of regret.

Preliminary task

1.We were asked to film a 180 degree shot of two people walking through a door and having a conversation .

2.We filmed each part of the task by firstly when joe walked throught the door we filmed it from behimd him and then we edited it with joe coming torwards the camera through the door this was our match on action. After we filmed him walking through the door we filmed joe and david having a conversation while applying the 180 degree rule . my role in this task was to edit. Our framing was in a classroom with a white background with two seats by a window, Our actors were placed infront of the window with the chairs along the window line so that they were facing each other.

3. i was very happy with the final result as it showed everything that we were meant to show including the 180 degree angle and match on action. Although we did the task we made the actors have a genuine conversation to make it more realistic.
