Lighting effects camera angles and acting for our scenes.

LIGHTING EFFECT:


Looking at our film editing we need to consider the lighting effects for our scenes.

Now the start scene is 2 actors in one room, Smig has been pulled in to have an interview with a police officer, so really looking in lighting terms we need a dull room (maybe blue as the colour of the walls to represent a typical crime scene investigation). The lighting has to remain dull at all times to keep the atmosphere effective and useful. Or maybe a dull background and the light shining on the actors to make them visible to the audience
A perfect example is from blade 3 when he taken in for the mirders of vampires and humans.










(This clip will be used to analyisis all of the effect).


So looking at the lighting effects on this clip from blade the room is birght white which makes then characters stand out and visible to see. The light almost shines onto the characters to adds an effect of them talking, looking at it maybe 3 or 4 light have been used for this kind of effect and atmosphere. Also shadows in the background are used to to balanced type of atmosphere that only these characters are here and no one else.


CAMERA SHOTS:


Soon as the scene starts a birdseye view is used, this shows where it is and how big the room is and where trhe villain is put into place. (Looking at the room its a varible size for good camera angles).


Also the camera is twisting into the villians face which adds more suspension and more of an atmosphere on the character.


Then a staright reverse shot is used and mostly throughout this scene, its the most easiest and most successful way of really doing this type of scene, also closes up and zooms in are used to describe the emotions of the characters, if it zooming in something has been said that rattles the villians, and if it zooms out maybe the interview is calm and understanding (but thats boring!).


Also a low angle is used on the investigators to show that its thier room and their interviewing this villain weather he likes it or not, this gives power to the these characters and can use and show of power to find out the message of the scene.

ACTING IDEAS:

Looking at the acting perspective of this clip its snaps straight into action, a sudden clap of hand is kind of a signature to start the scene and wake up the atmosphere. The clap of hand shows a slight sudden reaction to the character and audience in a way to pay attention which could be useful for our project maybe.

Also full eye contact is used when all character are talking to one another but sometimes the villian,

Looking around 1:00 minute a overview shot is used, the villian is there but also you see the inspectors hand moving, this shows a coversation between these two characters and its important to listen to it as it tells the main parts of the storys this could work for our 1st scene.

The light though is mostly foucused on the close up of these tow characters so what i does is draws the audience to listen and watch these character as they are telling the story line or something important is being said, there's no point of taking the light of these people or the audience will not pay as much attension on whats being said as you cannot see them clear which we will use for our flim.

This idea will only work for the interigation part of the scene so in the 2 part is daytime so really we don't need to worrie about the effects of lighting, just the colour or clothes and mis en scene blend and stand out.

So from this research we have now found how we encounter problem if we do come across lighting effect issues and how to focus the camera in different ways to interest audiences by using lighting. (Maybe we could even change the colour for more dramatic effect).
