Super 8 Movie Clip "Start Filming" Official (HD) Analysis

Film clip analysis – Super 8

The clip we are analysing is a clip from the film super 8.  In this small scene, a few of the signs we see are the clothes they are wearing. They are making there own smaller movie in the actual film so in this small clip we see them filming. One of the characters is wearing clothes to make her look older to play the part of a wife in the small movie they are making.

At the beginning of this scene, they are practising their lines for a movie. But when the train comes, they are rushed into filming.  They’re all dressed rather naturally in jeans and t-shirts showing that they are just young kids wanting to film a movie.

There is no music in the background because it would add to much noise and it would sound to jumbled up when the train passes by. As we see, when the train passes, the scene becomes louder and were are less able to hear them speaking. But hearing and seeing how big the train is when it passes them also emphasises the danger when the train crashes into the on coming car.

But when we see all of them rushing to get the camera rolling, the scene calms down for a few seconds until the train passes to really give us a sense of the train. But once the train has passed, one of the characters turns to see the on coming car. Again there is no music, just the sound of the train and the raised voices of the characters.

Actually seeing the character notice the car and just watching it until he realises what happens makes the small scene a little more interesting. During the clip where we are watching the car and train about to collide, we still here the voices of the other characters carrying on with the filming, telling us that they haven’t noticed what’s going on.

When the car collides with the train it causes a massive crash, which then causes the children to start panicking, and they start to rush out knocking the camera over in the process. The camera is still recording from when they were filming, and this is relevant to the plot later on.  Also on the shot of the fallen camera, we see that the shot is then zoomed in slightly to show viewers that the camera is important.

Just after the train crashes into the car, rather than neat cuts in each clips/scene, the camera turns quickly on to the faces of the kids to show urgency and the rush for them to get out of the way. 

Local Tour plan Unit 22.3 & point 3 of unit 16

The plan is to get up at seven in the morning and film the morning through until the point where we end up at school. The plan is to follow everything through from waking up and everything that follow. Even filming the simple things like making breakfast and getting dressed.

The part of filming the tv would be my favourite part as it shows the idea of waiting. Waiting to leave for school. Again, the natural sounds of the videos, like hearing the sound of the tv or the children talking or laughing will lin it into school.

And the silence of the morning will show how early it is when we are out side and walking to school.

Local tour Treatment Unit 22.3 & point 3 of unit 16

Programme Title: Local tour- The walk to school


Producer and/or Director:
Kaylea Lloyd

Duration:
1 to 2 minutes long 

Audience:
The audience will be everyone , everyone of all ages. Its something that is easy to understand and the story will be easy to follow.  

It could be shown at any time during the time. If it was on a tv slot then it could be shown on all channels any time. Theme is basic and understandable and doesn't/ won't show anything unsuitable for younger viewers. 

What is it about?
The film is of a local tour but in my case, a tour of the journey for my younger brother and sisters to school. Showing the viewers what the journey to school is like and what the morning consists of to get ready for school.

Suggested Elements:
People that will be shown in the video will be myself and members of my family.

Shooting Days:

Because it will be the journey to school , it will be set in the morning. So the actual filming shouldn't be any longer than a day.

Local Tour Research Unit 22.3 & point 3 of unit 16

This is a short video from Vimeo showing someone a local tour of the area. I wanted to use this video as part of my research because its very similar to something i want to do for my own local tour. It is the place where someone grew up. But the only problem with it is that it states what you should do to have fun in the country. Rather than a proper local tour but i still like the idea of it.

As my Local tour will be about the journey to school. So again, showing what the average school morning would consist of.

The video below is of a walk to town. Again something similar. With the route and walking to a certain place. Showing the places we pass on the journey.

Local Tour ideas Unit 22.3 & point 3 of unit 16

For some ideas, I have came up with idea of filming the usual school routine in the morning. From waking up in the morning and then the journey to and from school. Maybe not the actual journey back but it depends on the length of the video on the way the there. The actual walk back home could be added for extra time.

The tour would consist of a few close up shots of maybe putting on a shoe or watching tv and then leaving the house. Then it would carry on from there. I want to use different type of shots to show the idea of the average school morning like getting dressed and the walk there.

Music might not be needed because the actual sounds that the video would catch would show more of the average school morning.  Music might take that away from the finished video.
