Editing concepts
The document discusses several important editing concepts used in filmmaking including establishing shots, the 180-degree rule, shot-reverse shot, eye-line match, match on action, and montage. Establishing shots orient the audience to the setting. The 180-degree rule maintains camera positioning on the same side of an imaginary line between subjects. Shot-reverse shot shows conversations by alternating between characters' perspectives. Eye-line match follows a character's gaze to reveal what they are looking at. Match on action cuts between shots to seamlessly continue an action. Montage uses rapid editing to compress time and emphasize meaning through juxtaposed scenes.

Introduction to Filmmaking
I used this powerpoint presentation for my filmmaking workshop at the University of Bahrain and Bahrain Polytechnic. The contents of this book are from Antonio Manriquez and Thomas McCluskey's "Video Production 101: Delivering the Message."
Presentation1 (1)
James Wan is an Australian film director known for horror films like Saw and Insidious. Some key points:
- Wan directed Saw in 2004 which launched a successful franchise but he distanced himself from later installments.
- His later films Insidious and The Conjuring were critical and financial successes that established him as a master of supernatural thrillers.
- Wan has proven himself capable of directing a variety of popular genres beyond torture porn and has signed on to direct the next Fast and Furious film.
Contextual and theory research
James Wan is an Australian film director known for creating successful horror franchises like Saw and Insidious. Some of his directorial techniques include using low-key lighting to build suspense, focusing stories within confined settings like houses, and tapping into primal human fears. He also films numerous close-ups of characters' faces to convey emotions and uses point-of-view shots from the antagonist's perspective. Wan finds success by subverting horror tropes and envisioning memorable set pieces that audiences discuss.
Film industry research ollie
The document provides information on four films produced and distributed by different film companies:
- Vertigo Films produced Monsters (2010) and Streetdance 2 (2012)
- Warner Bros Pictures produced The Dark Knight Rises (2012) and American Sniper (2015)
- Warp Films produced Tyrannosaur (2011)
It then gives details on the directors, actors, budgets, filming locations, distribution and box office performance of each film. Information on Ollie, Tyler and Bertie's involvement with the different films is also provided.
Movie trailer research
The document analyzes and summarizes several movie trailers across different genres. It finds that romantic and drama trailers tend to have slower, piano-driven music and focus on showing the relationship between the main characters. Action movie trailers use fast cuts, loud music, and dialogue to showcase explosions and fight scenes. Horror trailers aim to build tension through unsettling footage, darkened scenes, and minimal music or dialogue. Based on the styles observed, the document concludes that romantic or horror genres would be easier to recreate than action movies, which typically require extensive CGI and action shots.
Media final portfolio
- The document describes a student's work on a group media studies project to create the opening sequence for a thriller film.
- The student took responsibility for filming equipment and had a role as an MI6 official in one shot.
- Research was conducted into similar films like Insidious and The Butterfly Effect to understand techniques for building suspense.
- The opening sequence was influenced by films like Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and incorporated fast editing, sound design, and title design.
The production process
The production process of The Descent involved extensive pre-production, production, and post-production stages. Writer and director Neil Marshall worked with producer Christian Colson for over two years developing the script and securing financing from Celador Films and other companies. Principal photography took place on sets built at Pinewood Studios to replicate the cave environments, and the film's all-female cast underwent training to prepare for the physically demanding shoot. Extensive visual effects, sound design, and editing were used in post-production to enhance the realistic cave settings and atmospheric horror elements of the film.

Director Research
- 2. • Matthew Vaughn was born in London. He was educated at Stowe School in Buckingham. Then he took gap year before university and traveled the world eventually landing in Los Angeles, where he began working as an assistant to a director. He later returned to university in London but left his studies within a few weeks to pursue his interest of directing and producing films.
- 3. At Age 25, Vaughn produced the thriller, The Innocent Sleep in 1995. He continued as producer to Guy Ritchie's film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels which was a critically acclaimed film and achieved financial success. Vaughn made his directorial debut in 2004 with Layer Cake. The film was well received and offers to direct big banner movies came his way. He next co-wrote and directed Stardust and a movie adaptation of Mark Millar's Kick-Ass.
- 4. In May 2010, Vaughn directed and co- write X-Men: First Class which was released in 2011. Vaughn's next directorial project in 2013, was Kingsman: The Secret Service, scripted by him and Jane Goldman, and produced by Vaughn's Marv Films. The film was released in 2015 and in the same year he also produced Fantastic Four. Vaughn is currently in talks to direct a new version of Flash Gordon.
- 5. From the start, Vaughn has a certain liking for thrillers, and I admire this thriller element in most of his movies. Always with the intention of giving the audience adventure and roller-coaster thrills, he has achieved that in the action-packed movie – Kingsman: The Secret Service. In the Kingsman, the thrills are very refined using technology and a creative team to give the shots its sophisticated look. Crisply edited, the 410 shots delivered by a team of approximately 160 Prime Focus World agents, in all departments and there is an unstoppable action movie.
- 6. The direction, special effects and musical score are all great in the movie. Using hyper-kinetic camera movements and effective use of slow motion, the cinematography is excellent. Even in the action sequences the audience can actually see everything that is happening, there is continuity and a high dose of thrill. The cameras were ARRI Alexas, used with a 45° shutter to enhance the energy of the action, but RED EPIC and Blackmagic cameras were also used for POV shots.
- 7. Even with all the violence there is minimum blood as Vaughan wanted the blood sequence to disappear fast in order to reduce the gore of the sequences and this approach has been used throughout the movie. The special effects were brilliantly used on Gazelle, portrayed by actress, Sofia Boutella who is not actually disabled. But through CGI audiences could see her with the running "blade" legs and all the stunts in her fight scenes, never realizing that she actually has legs and not blades.
- 8. • To top off Vaughn’s direction, each actor gave his best to the movie. Even with seasoned performers like Collin Firth, Michael Caine, Samuel Jackson, Mark Strong, the younger and talented Taron Egerton and Sofia Boutella give a very convincing performance.
- 9. ADDITIONAL REFERENCE – MARC JOUVENEAU “The fight in the church was originally designed to be one long continuous shot lasting over six minutes. It was edited and cut in the end, but there are still three long chunks – each one over 1,000 frames. I supervised it on-set with the second unit, working with director of photography, Fraser Taggart, and assistant director, Joe Geary.” “We took a lot of measurements, scans and reference pictures of actors, stunts, special actors and extras, as well as texture references and a laser scan of the church. During the shoot, we focused on continuity and the rhythm of the action, and, the sequence was edited by Eddie Hamilton as we went along.”
- 10. ADDITIONAL REFERENCE Even the locations were edited from the actual to give it the exaggerated thrill
