LO2: Uploaded rushes

Rushes from different scenes we filmed over the last 3-4 months  

This rush is from scene four, in which Ellis's character kills Toby's character. To show how our footage met generic conventions of similar products. We have used slow panning camera movements and interesting shots similar to the About a girl short film which we studied before hand. 

The rushes I have chosen show show how our team used short film conventions such as lighting and stage design to indicate to the audience that Toby's character is more heart-full and caring as he is shown throughout the film showered in sunlight, while Ellis's character is hidden in shadows and darker areas which represent how he is corrupt from his injury. This is proof of us using binary opposition within our product. Which is used to help the audience dictate who is the protagonist and antagonist of the story. Also, we used mise-en-scene elements such as clothing to help build on the binary opposition as we presented Ellis in clothing that would be worn by someone living a life of crime. Our footage has met generic conventions and replicated conventions similar to other short films that are in the Thriller/ Dramedy genre. This is through things such as lighting, acting, set design, and costume design. All of these elements come together to form a thrilling story which includes both comedic and dramatic scenes.
