Wip Pan Shot

This is a Wip Pan Shot. The effect that this shot gives is that, whent he camera wips form on place/person to another the audience can get the full effect of the scene and see whats going on from both sides of the frame. This is generally a pannning shot although is carried at a much quicker pace so the camera haistily travels from one thing to another, and does not cut. It allows for focus, of the audience, to be thrust directly from one subject to another without it being lost. This creates a sense of importance about the second subject as it usually allows for characters/objects who have a greater importance to the film. In this clip the camera is whipping from on point of the scene round to the tower in three different times of the day.

Panning Shot

This is a panning shot. This means that the camera pans across a scene in order to portray the entire location to the audience. Also as to give the audience knowledge of the location, so they can see the surroundings from one end to the other. This shots goes from Right to Left, it can show the background in a frame and make the audience aware of other surroundings in a shot, that the directer of the film may want them to notice.

Tracking Shot

In this tracking shot, the camera follows/tracks the actor in the frame through-out the scene. In this shot the camera is tracking the couple. By doing this you can see where they are going and get a full idea of the surroundings and atmosphere. Although its of the back of them you can see their body language and the way they interact with each other. They are very close together and it is obvious that they have a strong physical relationship. You can see the way they interact with other people in the frame and their facial expressions.

Its not what it seems

I chose this picture as my little sister may seem sweet and cute when you first meet her but she can be really mad a scray at times. They way that the lighting is around her face emphasises her facial expressions and her mad hair. They dark background also creates the scary effect and heightens her face and hair.

Sherlock Holmes Review

Sherlock Holmes was directed by non other than Guy Ritche.

As i stated in my previous blog the outline of the film: After finally catching serial killer and occult "sorcerer" Lord Blackwood, legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his assistant Dr. Watson can close yet another successful case. But when Blackwood mysteriously returns from the grave and resumes his killing spree, Holmes must take up the hunt once again. Contending with his partner's new fiancée and the dim-witted head of Scotland Yard, the dauntless detective must unravel the clues that will lead him into a twisted web of murder, deceit, and black magic - and the deadly embrace of temptress Irene Adler.

 

I thoughrouly did enjoy Sherlock Holmes, a lot more than i expected. When some of my friends had seen it they told me it wasnt very good. However, in my personal opinion i thought it was an excellent film that had a lot of good shots and scenes that made me really admire Guy Ritche. My favourite thing about the film was the special effects within many of the fighting scenes, one of the best scenes in which used special effects was the scene when a bomb goes off within a building in London. Also they way that the directer creates suspence within the film. For example when the bomb goes of, it is played in slow motion with Dr Watson flying through the air. That really got my adreniline rushing, as all i wanted to know was whether he had survived or not.

I also thought the costumes within the film were very suitable for the era in which the film is set, aswell as this the setting of the film in London is also very appropriate for the plot, and places such as London Bridge are set perfectly for the period in which the film is based. Also the use of colours and lighting within the film were very good as it really framed the shot perfrectly.

At the end of the film Holmes, and Dr Watson had agreed to take on another mystery case and the directer choses to leave it there. This would suggest to the audience that there is going to be a sequal to the film. I would defininately recommened watching Sherlock Holmes to everyone that hasnt seen it and cant wait to see the next one if they decide to do it, which hopefully they will.
