Techniques

This post was made in part for the purpose of aiding us in presenting a proposal to teachers and classmates to get feedback on our work so far. 

           PARTY SCENE

This is the kind of lighting and grading we would like

•Soft lighting, warm but shadowy

•Slightly slow motion

•Lagging shots

•One/few long POV shot(s)

•Reference:

1.Lighting, lagging (Skins scene): 

2.Slow motion/POV (Project X), (Skins trailer): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTPiZNXtdew&safe=active, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR2qsApgfTc&safe=active

                These shots are similar to the bizarre, lagging shots we want to achieve

OVERDOSE SCENE

Influential, similar grading style from Requiem for a Dream

        •High key, harsh lighting

        •Real speed

        •Fast cutting

        •Variety of shots, angles and framing

        •180 degree rule for dialogue

        •Eyeline matches
        •Slightly desaturated, high contrast grading
        •Reference: (Requiem for a Dream trailer) 

                                                      An example of the editing style we are aiming for   

            WALKING OUT SCENE 

•30 degree rule

•Matches on action – going through the door

•Shadows around her – no fill lighting

•Well lit but night-time

•Reference: (Donnie Darko opening)

This opening shot has similar lighting, grading and editing style to what we would like to create for the scene
