Daughter's Engagement

We explored the use of media editing in our short silent film "Daughter's Engagement". We added the black and white effect to give it an older, more 'silent movie' feel.

Rule Of Thirds

The rule of thirds is the rule that nothing in a shot is dead in the centre; the focus point is instead on one of the four points like shown below.

Draft:

The problem with our draft was that the close-up shots were too centred. I was taught about the rule of thirds (which I will make a post on) and corrected the drawings after.

Final:

Casino Royale Camera Shot Analysis

The scene opens with a medium long shot where the man being chased jumps over a fence, and ends with a long shot looking to the direction of where James Bond has ran. There are lots of other shots, like a reverse shot at 00:20 -just before Bond bursts in on a digger- and a bird's eye view at 01:15 to emphasize the size of the explosion.
