10 Film Examples

Film #1- "Rise"
The film contained fasted paced background music along with quick camera angles that contained tons of movement. I loved the camera angle of the ball rolling towards the camera, only to transition into the new character.

Film #2- "Offline"
The beginning of the film had an effect of a type writer, which i found unique. The idea around the film is somewhat reliable because of the correlation between our life and social media. The camera switches back in forth between the girl going about her normal day and the girl trapped in a dog cage. This gives the effect of two events happening at the same time.

Film #3-  "Dear Lover"
The first person is unique because the main character is actually sitting down for an interview recalling past events. The film is able to appeal to young teens due to the romance between two females, and the views of this relationship to the people in this main characters life. The director uses the line, "Let's start from the beginning." to create a smooth transition.

Film #4- "Dare to Thrill"
The background music is very uplifting and creates a party vibe. The camera angles involving the car racing does a great job in capturing the audience in a thrill. The opening leaves on a cliff hanger with the trunk opening, leaving the kids in shock; this makes the audience think, "whats in the trunk?", and keeps audience intrigued.

Film #5- "Always Watching"
The film shares a intense scene of the main character describing to a therapist his obsession problem. The audience can clearly see how crazy this main character is already, however the camera work really adds to the intensity. Shown through eye level shots of the man looking directly into the camera with a creepy smile. In order to make a smooth transition the director has the therapist say, "take me back to the beginning..."

Film #6- "The Blue Boar"
What makes this film unique is the time period. The characters dresses as if they were in the 18th century. In the scene of the mother yelling, the camera went to a close up shot of her mouth, this made the conversation much more intimidating. Unlike the other film openings, this one went into a musical which represented the young girls freedom and ended with a figure of a pig made from gathered branches.

Film #7- "White Coat"
The Films lighting was dark and gloomy, making the audience feel a sense of blur. The camera goes back and forth between the a strange liquid and a guy tied up, this creates a connection between the two events occurring. At the end of the film the guy looks directly into the camera, leaving a after effect.

Film #8- "Stalker"
The film uses sound efficiently, shown by the camera taking a picture. The background music suddenly changed when something scary happened. The sound of the heart beat really showed the fear factor.

Film #9- "Nostalgia"
This film opening was very different. By using the paining, the director is able to connect the old lady to a piece of art. As if her aging is also a piece of art. The old lady is able to cut over and show instead a young girl, wearing similar clothes. This shows the importance of costume.

Film #10- "Lost and Found"
The film is in first person point of view, showing the life of two different kids. The transition between two characters was unique and smooth, shown through the guy bumping into the other girl, which switched roles.

Summary: Through watching these films my group and i have changed our genre to mystery. By watching these films i have noticed that in order to make the best film possible i will need to find a unique way to piece my story together smoothly and efficiently. This can be achieved through camera work and a good plot. Sound plays a more vital role than what i first thought, now i know how critical background sound is in setting the mood.
