Lost Plane crash - Harrison

This clip from Lost gave us a guidline as to how to film our opening.

It starts of very calm, with slow edits, an most of the shots focus on the

protaginist acting nervous but at this point there is no hint of a luming

disturbance. But halfway through the scene we get the first signs of

a disturbance when the plane starts to shake and suffer turbalance, at this point

the edits speed up, during this 8 second clip there are 6 edits. This creates suspense

and adds tension. But then the plane stops shaking, and we as an audiance think

the disturbance may have passed, yet still anticipate it. Then towards the end of this

clip the main disturbance returns as the plane starts to crash, the panic is portrayed

through camera shake, faster and faster edits and the mis en scene of flashing lights.

At this point it is much clearer that the plane is crashing and tension and suspense is at its

highest as we wait for the plane to crash.

We intend to use similar camera techniques seen in this clip, we two will focus on

two characters and maintain most dialogue with the two, also we intend to use

camera shake and mis en scene to create the sense of distorsion. Also we

will start of with slow edits to establish character roles and to position the audiance,

but also to raise question's as to who each character is, there roles and why they there.
