Story outline

The opening scene

Cinematographer

my job in the production of this film is to organize shot types and general shot composition i will be working closely with the editor, some films that has influenced me are

the doors


i like the use of camera angles and the way the band is shot to show there importance this is done by use of closeups on the lead singer and various reaction shots of band members

Editor

The role I will be filling is Editor. This will involve cutting all the footage down to the correct length, putting it in a coherent order, and working closely with our Cinematographer to create various filters and effects. I will also be responsible for creating the titles and crerdits appear on screen. Underneath is a section of film I feel is highly effective. I particularly like the constant change of pace, shown by a mixture of fast cuts, and longer cuts. This reflects on the carnage on screen, without dwelling on any specific details for too long. Also, the combination of editing and cinematography creates fear the viewer, even though 'the enemy' are never really seen, just the damage they are doing
