Final Cut

This is our final cut for our Film Noir opening

Rough Cut

This is our Rough Cut of our film, Les Levres. The feedback from our audience was very much the same. The audience liked our film and they liked the shots in it but they didn't really follow the story.

Prelim Task

This is our first ever piece of Film that we did in Media. We needed to show the 180 degree rule, match on action. I beleive we acheived this fairy well.

Storyboard

Fade in. This first shot is an over-the-shoulder shot of the main character stood waiting at the train station smoking a cigarette.

The character then takes a seat on the train next to a window.

We then see a line of cocaine being snorted from the point of view of the nostril. The character is in the toilet cubicle of the train.

There is then a shot of her struggling back to her seat down the aisle of the train.

This is shot similiar to the fist shot of the character sat in her seat next to the window.

There is then a zoom into the character's lips; the cocaine begins to take effect and she smiles.

Now in Newcastle, a shot of the character disembarking the train an walking towards the exit.

A pan shot from her feet, walking, to her head.

Now cuts of the character walking through the city towards a bar.

The character arrives at a bar and orders a drink.

A birds-eye-view shot of the drink.

The character takes her drink and sits outside.

She begins to light a cigarette with a match; a pan zoom towards the cigarette.


A secondary charater sits opposite the main character.

There is then a close-up of his face, across the table.

They engage in conversation; over-the-shoulder shots and two-shots.

A third character, away from the characters on the terrace, enters a phonebooth and picks up the reciever.

Another close-up of the main character.

A shot of the character in the phonebooth from outside.

A pan down reveals he has a gun in a holder on his waist.

A penultimate close-up of the main character.

A final close-up with a slow pan in to her lips, similiar to the lips shot on the train, taking a drag of her cigarette. Fade out.

RISK ASSESSMENT

There are numerous risks with making a film; these risks can come from either the production company or from the distribution company. Some of these problems are physical, and may concern the health and safety of the cast and crew, or more financially orientated risks which take the budget and gross of the film into consideration.
