Editing

Due to our original film being shot in the snow and our pick up shots being shot in the dry we had to apply a colour correction filter to our pick up shots in order for the clips to look similar. We had play around with the  RGB colour wheel as well as the sliders to enhance the whites and the blacks in the clip in order to make it look similar to the colour of the shots in the snow. This blended the clip into the rest of the scene, therefore making the scene flow seamlessly.

The Rock Assessment

The Rock – Camera Movement sequence analysis – Pan & Track

NAMES:   Ryan&Tom  Date: 19/10/12
	The shot used I this scene is a tracking shot, which follows the actor, which is also a low angle shot. The tracking shot emphasises the importance on the character as it follows him, the low angle shot looking at the character also connotes that the particular is a powerful figure, as the camera angle seems to make it seem as if he is looking down on us, because he has power.  The fact that he is also barging through a group of civilians complements him as he is a character of importance and he has a distinctive amount of power in contrast to the civilians.
	The first thing that stands out is the logo of the of the Ferrari car, this logo suggests that this moment in the film is going to be fast, pacey and adventurous as the car is.  The camera angle is tilted and there is a close up on the car, which makes it stand, the colour of the car is also significant as it instantly catches your attention. The extreme close up on the gear stick of the car, and the low angle on the wheels shows the urgency that is currently running throughout this clip. The angle of the camera also shows you a black Porsche in the background; when you see the black Porsche with the Ferrari you then have a sense of location and you know the setting is a relatively rich area.
	There is an extreme close up on Nicholas Cage’s face which allows the viewer to see his facial expressions, his facial expression shows the fact that he is at one point he is distressed as he knows the danger at hand & after his facial expression changes to a more serious and concentrated look which shows that he has more control in the situation than previously. The camera movement next shown is a tracking movement as the camera follows the car this makes the audience feel like they are right in the action almost if they are ‘taking part’. Then there is a medium shot with the camera tracking the truck, as it smashes into the vegetable stand it creates a sense of danger. Then the car crashes into a yellow taxi, which creates a sense of disorientation which is complemented by the fact
	The camera angle is a close up on the man but a medium shot on the car, the close up allows you to see the facial expressions on the mans face, whilst watching the cars drive past which allows you to put yourself right in the action with the man. Whilst the car is moving they are using tracking shot which gives the audience a better view of the action so they can see more than they could in real life, upon impact the camera angle changes to a close up which emphasises the crash, which then shows a medium shot of a man running away from the cars, with the cars in the background coming towards the viewer highlights the sense of danger.
	This is a POV shot, which places you in the characters shoes. It allows you to visualise yourself more in this specific situation, with the car moving and the camera moving up and down, shows the car is moving at a speed, which signifies the sense of urgency. The close up on the mans face instantly shows that he is serious and focused as this is a important moment in the film.
	The camera angle is a low angle shot with the subject moving into the space, these in turn creates a sense that the car at first is coming towards you. Then you see the man driving the trucks facial expressions with a extreme close up which tells you that he is desperate to get away, he is scared. Then there is a medium shot of the police cars, which is effective because using a different shot for the truck, and police car’s creates a different feel about them.  Then you see another low camera angle which is looking up at all the vehicles but includes a stop sign on the ground, that creates a feel that these people feel they can go above the law, meaning they are characters of power. Then finally you see an over view of the long road, which suggests the chase is still on.
	Then you see the facial expression of the two characters, which shows the clash between them, however they both express urgency in their facial expression, the gritting of their teeth signifies this.
