Almost finished footage analysis-

This is the almost finished opening, the title font and placement has been inspired from my analysis of the Eichmann film opening. I have placed the actors names in locations which could give an indication on the characters role in the film. The visuals of the opening and general production quality is much higher than the last attempt, the only problem I have is the sound, due to my lack of experience with sound I did not know how to create appropriate transitions between the sounds.

This is our opening visual, it introduces the director and editor. We are using the type writer font as it helps establish the storyline as being WW2, or that era, related.

 

This is our opening shot, we did not want to introduce too much of the character but the visuals we have provided would tell the audience that this is a teenage girl.

The next shot is an over-the-shoulder shot of Emily pressing the door bell.

The camera then cuts back to the leg shot, this time Emily walks out of frame and into the house.

And then during a close up of the door handle she closes the door.

The next shot is another close up of feet, she is taking one shoe off to reveal her pink, fluffy sock. This tells the audience that this character is innocent and does not have a negative back ground, unlike the elderly man.

 This close up of the inside of a boot is where the first actor is introduced, this actor plays the role of the elderly man who has a dark past, this is visually represented by the actors name being inside the boot.

This shot is of the elderly man putting two cups of tea down onto a table, this shows that the two characters are connecting or already have some sort of friendly relationship. This might suggest that the characters are some how related to each other (Grand Daughter, Grandad)

This next shot further backs up how the characters are related as she accepts the cup of tea.

The next two shots are a graphic match of both of them drinking the tea, the camera shot is an extreme close up of their mouth and nose. Both of the shots together tell the audience that these two characters might be close friends and can relate to each other. The graphic match starts with Emily lifting her cup and ends with Ken lowering his cup, the lifting of the cup shows that Emily is young and at the start of her life which is then contrasted by Ken pulling the cup away from his face, suggesting that he has reached the end of his life.

This montage of shots is of the two characters going through a photo album, this shows connection between the two characters. The shots suddenly ends with a blur out and the book being put down over Emily's name title, this suggests that something has came over Ken which he considers more important than his grand daughter.

This is further reinforced as we have placed the female actors name on top of the book which is then covered up by the book they are looking at, this shows that what ever happened during the photo album scene is more important to the male character than Emily.

This next shot is directly inspired from a shot we had during the draft shoot, we have used it because of compliments on the YouTube video we put up. The lighting from the torch which covers the box makes it look mysterious and would draw the audience in as they wonder what the box means and what is inside of it. The mysterious lighting also helps tell the audience what the character is like, he has a mysterious and secret past which is lying to his family (Emily) about.
