Outfits


This was the look that we were going for. We chose this because it fits our mise-en- scene and we feel that 1960's gangster films make great thrillers.

Location Of Filming





 
 
 
 
 
 
These toilets were where we were going to film our media piece however we did not realise that these would be closed. Leading to us having to move locations, which was not really what we want as we had planned for that area. However we had to change no matter what but what we did find with our back up location it almost worked better than our original idea. As we felt that it built tension so much better, as it gave us that thriller mysterious location feel.
 



The images above is where we will film the second part of our movie this is where you will see one of the characters bound to a chair and getting beaten up.

 
This image above is where we had to move for filming as our first area was closed however it was still gave a good effect and we believe it could be better than our first idea


 

No Country for old Men Analysis



With this first shot or set of shots, there is an extreme long shot used this is also known as a establishing shot. This is to show how barren the land scape is and that as the title says it’s no place for the weak. When filming this though it has been cleverly done as it looks like a set of shots put together are like photographs, which not only adds to the tension but makes the audience ask questions about what’s going on why are they here? Who is here? Etc.

The next shot I decided to evaluate was the one where we have the officer is on the phone to his superior. The have used lighting very well in this shot with having the good guy who’s face is lit up well and in the background we have the shifty shady figure in the background. This is a great tension builder as the edit the scene well. As the shady figure waits until the good guy has finished his call so the superior does not assume there is anything wrong down at the office. Also this could symbolise his last moment last call before he dies never to be heard of again when that phone goes down.

The next scene I shall evaluate is the one where we have the struggle on the floor this is edited well as we do not see the true violence of the scene as you only get the shot of the feet. However we do see that there are scrape marks on the on the floor making the audience feel how will the murder get rid of it what will he do. The sound that is used in this shot is high pitch violins which emphasize the struggle and help build the tension. Again making the audience ask questions will he escape? Who will win the fight? Also which us finding out that the shift character has killed one person and about to kill another, it emphasizes his power that he has.
