Vertigo shot
The clip on the left is the shot we want to try to replicate for the flash back transition because it creates a feeling that the equilibrium is being removed from an individuals perspective, for example a policeman arriving at your doorstep in our movie. I believe that used in special situations such as this, the vertigo shot can be very effective.The second video explains how this effect is achieved, I want to try to use both of the different vertigo transitions to go into and out of the 'trance/flashback'. As we found in the practice of this shot we need a 'dolly' and moving towards the subject whilst zooming out is the harder shot to perfect, so if we only use one it will be the moving away from the subject whilst zooming in for the start of the transition.
whilst in the flashback I am planning to edit the footage so that the color is slightly different than the color of the shots to make it clearer to the audience that this footage is from a previous time, also to create this effect we will use a fade to white to symbolize the flashback this also leads well to the changing of color during the sequence.
These are good ideas Bradley. Have a look at the famous vertigo shot from Jaws', and also 'La Haine'. Both are on youtube.
ReplyDeleteYour heading refers to Skeletons and Memento, so you do need to analyse these and use some screen grabs this time. Comment on use of sound as well as post production techniques and camera work.
ReplyDeletewould it be ok to borrow that dvd of those two movies?
