Synopsis (first take)

Looten is an 18 year old waste of space. He and his best friend Sam needed some money, so they set about it the best way they knew how. They assemble a crew miscreants and go out to enact their pre meditated robberies on small shops and newsagents, however, not all of these go to plan and things get much more challenging as a mysterious teenager is terrorising the group.

Movie Title

As seen in the original pitch, the movie title we have gone for is " Lootin' ". The reason behind this is the main character's surname being 'Looten' and the film is about a group of teenagers that rob locations with their dad and these words are a play on the word looting.

Original Trailer Pitch

 

This is the first pitch we have written up for the movie trailer and it outlines the basic ideas we have on character names and profiles, it also presents information on location as this is an extremely important aspect we need to address when planning and filming our final product. The plot is also a very essential part of this trailer, if we had no plot then the trailer wouldn't be showing anything in particular and this pitch touches on ideas we have had for the plot line,

Practising Camera Shots (tracking)

Tracking

 

the latest shot I have practised is a tracking shot and these are used to simply 'track' a target. Could be a person, animal or even an object in the wind. These shots are usually used to show something behind what is happened, they could be used after a dramatic scene to show that the character is in deep thought.

Practising Camera Shots (tilt)

Tilt

 

The third camera shot I practised was a tilt view

Practising Camera Shots (reverse zoom)

Reverse zoom

 

 

Another camera shot I practised was a reverse shot and is used mainly to add drama to a specific location, an example of these are usually in horror films when they would focus on the antagonist (usually a little girl) and the camera would then zoom back out to where the main characters are to give a visual on what they are seeing.

Practising Camera Shots (pan)

Pan

 

 

In my filming practise I am experimenting with different camera angles. This is a pan shot and is mainly used to show a landscape or the area the scene will be shot in, the reason for this is to give the audience a sense of mis-en-scene for the are. E.g. a haunted house, a countryside park or even a desert. It is important to give the audience a sense of where the scene takes place otherwise their knowledge of what is going on will be limited.
