Unlike the previous task of producing a pixilation animation, I have never done any type of video production/film producing. I was interesting in seeing what we were going to be doing as it was something I have never done before. We started off the session looking at risk assessment....to be honest was the most boring hour ever! but i understand why it has to be done! although Im still not looking forward to filling one in again. The other half of the session we were divided into groups to come up with a story on the theme of horror. As a group we came up with one of the longest and most detailed short story as well all had ideas and i felt we worked well together to come up with a very creative, maybe not a 100% original idea but it was different and worked well with are theme.
we also looked at different examples of short films. My favourite was a Touch of Evil. it was created in 1958 and was based on the novel Badge of Evil by Whit Masterson and is a black-and-white film, and said to be one of the last examples of film noir.
It starts off with an extreme close up of a man putting a bomb into the boot of a car and is a one shot until the car explodes after crossing the american boarder. This sequence is a great opening as it introduce the film with mystery as to who was that man and why that car. The music also sets the scene as it sounds like its from mexico and the ticking of the bomb matches the timing of the music.
