Editing Analyses Forest Gump

In this report I will write about the diffeent camera perspectives which you can see in the first sequence of the film forest gump. The film forest gump was releast in the year 1994. The main actor in the film is Tom Hanks.

The first shot in the film forest gump is a long tracking shot of a birds feather slowly gliding down from a very high position. We can see the feahter gliding down for a very long time. The feather swirling around for a long time and getting carried by the wind. The camera is following the movement of the feather at all times. The lower the feather glides down in the direction of the ground the more and more the camera perspective changes into a high angle perspective. As soon the feather comes very close to the ground the perspective changes again into a low angle perspective. The feather get  swirled around again by the wind of a car which is passing by.

When the feather is swirled around again you can see the feather in a high angle perspective again flying into the direction of forest gump. Forest gump is sitting on a bench he sees the feather and picks the feather up a looks at it. The feather becomes a prob for him

Hitchcook - Psycho

In this report I will write about the different shot types we have used in our last session of the A-level film.  The scene we have postpostived is from the Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho.
The story of the shoots we have done is a girl is going into her shower. She is getting undressed. A killer is following her into her bathroom and than stabbing her to death.
The first shot we have used is a shot in the location LCH main building you can see how the main character for the first time. The main character is shown from the back in a medium long shot . This shot establishes the location where the scene is set.
In the second shot you can see the main character walking upstairs She has two probe her scarf and her jacket. She is shown in a extreme long shot. We chose two place her on the left side of the screen to establish that she is still in a secure position. As we know out of a lot of horror genre films that the further the victim goes upstairs in a building the more un secure the situation gets. In the third shot we see the victim in a shot from the side walking further up the stairs. She has dropped her shoes on the stairs. The shot type is a long shot. In the fourth shot we can see the victim getting in the direction of her bathroom. The shot is a extreme long shot over the shoulder of the killer. The foreground is dark. The perspective is out of the view of the killer.  In the fifth shot we can see the killer in a extreme long shot again the killer is still on the right side of the screen.
In the sixth and seventh shot you can see the sign of the bathroom changing from vacant into engaged. the sixth shot is a close up shot and the seventh shot is a extreem close up.
The eight shot is a close up shot of the killer opening the door of the bathroom where the victim is in. The shot is taken in a dutch angle to amplify that the situation is insecure.
In the ninth shot we can see the victim standing under a shower in a close up shot. She is putting her hands in a position so that it seems like she would be washing her hair. This shot establishes that the victim is under the shower
In the tenth shot we see the killer in dark clothes standing there with a knife as a prob in the hand, pointing with the knife into the direction of the victim which is on the left side of the screen. The victim is unfortunately on the left side of the screen but the room that shots are made in did not offer to put her on the right side of the screen. In the eleventh shot we have the killer noticing that the killer is there. The shot is a medium long shot.
In the 12. shot. we have a close up of the victim. The victim is dead on the floor. The killer is still holding the knife in the stab into the neck of the victim. The shot type is a close up shot.
The 13. shot is a sign which is saying the word blood. It should show that there is some blood in the scene but we did not have any fake blood.
