Reflective Analysis on Prezi

Final Cut

After receiving feedback from our shown rough cut, we decided to use the feedback to improve our final cut. We fixed the shaky camera and cut out the modern day televisions. However, we found it difficult to cut out the modern day cars, however, we zoomed in closer to our car in order to block out more of the surrounding, modern cars. Another improvement we made to the final cut is that we added 50's style music into the background when we walked into the milkshake bar. This music fit into the right timing and to cut out some of the background noise. We found that these improvements were the best way to improve our film.

Rough Cut

This is our rough cut which was shown to a small audience of media students. We recieved various feedback which we are going to use to improve our work for our final cut. The feedback we were told to improve on was:
- Make the camera more staedy
- Cut out the modern day televisions
- Attempt to cut out the modern day cars
- Speed up the car chase
- Improve transitions
- Improve sound
we will take these comments into consideration while working towards improving our final edit

Prelim

our task for our prelim was to include a match on action, 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot. I feel we were successful with the task and managed to fit every element into the video.

The Opening Sequence of 'The Big Combo'

The Big Combo starts with a big title spreading across the background of a city,this automatically shows us that this film is going to be set in a big city, stereotypically showing us a convention of film noir. Next  we see the titles of all the stars and characters that are featured in the film,then we are shown the lead actor Cornel Wilde and then we are shown the director of the film last.We see a police officer escorting people across the road showing us another convention of film noir, as a key character in these types of films are in fact detectives or lieutenants.We see a extreme long shot of a boxing ring creating the idea that this film could include violence and pain, which we do actually see later in the film.A young blonde female is running through small, dark alleyways from two men who seem to be chasing her, this shows us another convention of film noir, showing us the blonde femme-fatale character we expect to see in every noir film.At the end of the opening sequence we see a police car pulling up outside a building,this shows the opening sequence is ending as it started with the police escorting people across the road, by using the old car as part of the Mise en Scene we get an understanding of what time the film is set in.

Hartlepool Marina

This location would be perfect for the recording of the noir film as it has the neon lighting and 50's styled restaurants.
