Original 20 key frames for A2 Film Studies

1. Original Key Frames

2. Key Frame 1.
 Starting with the first key frame and it was good and exactly what I
wanted. A close up of the main character Richard Morris, played by Lewis
Kempster. It shows his seriousness and professionalism with how well he
was in this shot. For the audience I was trying to make them thing Morris
is serious and knows what to do.

3. Key Frame 2
 The second key frame was also what I wanted and it tell out well. It shows the
type of shot I was going for with an over shoulder looking down towards
Admiral Song, acted by James Williams. This shows Song’s power as he is
looking up towards the two characters with a serious look. This was taken to
try and show the audience that Song has the most power and authority. I
really like the way Song is looking with his facial expression and having his
arms on the desk really brings it together.

4. Key Frame 3
 This shot didn’t turn out as well as I wouldn’t to but I can work with it and it
ends up with a good reason as to why I used pulled focus. This would
have been the after shot in the film as it pulls focus away from Morris
because Keith Cooper, acted by Bailey Rattray, is symbolizing that Morris
is starting to because nothing in his life so he’s not focusing on him
anymore. For the audience this picture is there to try and get a little
picture of Cooper and to not trust him completely.

5. Key Frame 4
 This shot was done well because you can see Morris’ sad emotion, to
make this shot better I would like to have more emotion shown and see
how devastated he is. But this shot still is good and shows what type of
shot I was going for with the close up. As this was influenced by the shot
from Star Trek, I was shot and framed well but all that was needed was
that little bit more emotion. For the audience you really wanted them to
feel the pain he was feeling.

6. Key Frame 5
 I really liked this shot as the darkness down the hall was a good
representation of the nothingness that was left in the room after the office
where Morris’ father figure Song (James Williams) died. Both the
characters also looking down the hall and just to wait and see there facial
expression.

7. Key Frame 6
 Key Frame I was unable to get because my SD Card I was using in my
camera some how deleted a couple of the key frames I got, so I lost a
couple but I have the majority of them.
 This is an over the shoulder shot of Morris holding Cooper’s mission
report with a file that also says “Top Secret”, this file was one that the
Admiral would have given to Morris when he was to step down as Admiral,
and Morris to stand up as the leader. This shot shows that Admiral Song
knew something was up because Cooper’s mission report showed that
they encountered an alien force, and whatever the “Top Secret” file says,
it looked as if they could link, so it gives the option of that

8. Key Frame 7
 This was shot was easy and I got it pretty easy. It basically just there to
show how the story progresses. This was put in to get the audience to just
ask the questions, who? what? And why?

9. Key Frame 8
 This shot is very well well and the actors had good facial expressions to
try and get across the confusion of what’s happened. I had to reuse
James for this as another character due to the lack of actors that were
available for the day. But the picture still come out very well and I feel that
the audience will feel the emotions that are there in the image.

10. Key Frame 9
 This frame was another that removed from my SD card and due to the
time, I couldn’t get another one.
 This frame will be the three characters looking towards a window to
symbolizes that something is about to happen. It will consist of them
looking past the camera and just having a shocked, but confused
expression on there face. I feel it will make the audience ask questions
about what’s happening.

11. Key Frame 10
 This was the second message to come up after the first one and it built
everything up and was starting to get the audience al tense and a bit
confused as to what would happen next. It’s a scene that is keeping
everyone on the edge of there seat.

12. Key Frame 11
 This shot came out really well, Bailey got the facial expression perfect and
the over all frame was shot well. For the audience this shot is there as a
bit of an enigma code, asking questions that are answered throughout the
film

13. Key Frame 12
 This was an inspired shot from the film Star Trek. It was supposed to be
like the characters are being “beamed” like they are in Star Trek. Overall
the framing of the shot was good, it got the overall shot type right and
shows what I was trying to go for. To make it better I would of used props
to make it more realistic but from the image I have I still think it shows
what I was going for.

14. Key Frame 13
 This shot I found to be one of the best from the camera shot, angle, and
the mask that brings it together. For the audience it would be the first time
they see the villain so they needed to see him being serious. The mask
helps bring the effect altogether.

15. Key Frame 14
 This frame I thought to be a good one as well by the use of props and
expression of the actors. The medium close up was used and it worked
very well, the expression on Morris’ face is what I wanted because it
shows how oblivious he is to the whole situation as he thinks Cooper is on
his side. For the audience that is where some the questions get
answered.

16. Key Frame 15
 This frame shows the confusion that is going on in the scene and is also
an indication of the audience would be feeling like also. The facial
expressions used in the shot was very good, you can really see the
confusion in his face. The close up as well was frame nicely.

17. Key Frame 16
 Symbolizing the betrayal Cooper has just committed, him standing next to
Vlaar is a sign that they were working together the whole time. For the
audience I reckon it will give them a sense of hurt for the characters and
make them feel very confused. The angle this was shot at made it look
very good and shot the betrayal of the two characters.

18. Key Frame 17
 This was one of my favorite pictures I took. The smokiness around the
shot brings a good effect to what’s happening, maybe symbolizing that we
can see him literally taking his last breathes. This is a scene that for the
audience, should give them a chill

19. Key Frame 18
 This was a very well framed shot, the focus is really well and gets the
point across. To make it perfect I should have put in a big button but from
the framing you can see what was meant to be there. This is again
another shot that would have given the audience a chill and then ask the
question of what is going to happen when he pushes the button.

20. Key Frame 19
 This was the third shot that got deleted from my camera and when I
realized it was to dark to go and do another take of it.
 This is an action shot with Morris running through the streets towards the
vigilantes and tries to capture them. The chase scene in Star Trek: Into
Darkness when Spock was chasing down Khan through the streets,
influenced the chase scene here in my film. This shot is now trying to
bring the film to an end with the final shots coming into place.

21. Key Frame 20
 Now for the final shot, it is a medium shot with Morris standing high and
tall on his own, as the story comes to an end and the villain is defeated.
For the audience this is a nice framed image to wrap up all the excitement
that has happened and move on with everything answered and accounted
for.
