Casablanca 1942 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt1vQ81jNWw

At the beginning of the clip the directors uses a long shot to introduce the cast and setting within the scene, as it progresses close ups are used to show the characters emotions and facial expressions, this gives the audience an idea to how the character is feeling within the scene.  Panning is used to crossover between characters, instead of using transitions.

Its starts off as a POV shot as he enters the room; this gives the effects that we as the audience are involved within the movie. As the clip progresses it remains a medium shot and then gradually zooms into the face to transition it to a close up, this shows how the character is feeling a sends a message to the audience that whatever he is saying must be serious as the camera focuses on what he saying.

lighting

High key lighting is used in this still image to represent the burst of life within this film. It also makes the poster appear realistic and depicts a party atmosphere. The use of neon lighting also portrays the party atmosphere due to the electrifying colours within the background. The use of bright lights also attracts the audience as the bold outline is very eye-catching and grabs the attention of the audience.

In my perspective I believe the best Year 13 production was the Call of Duty film. I think this because it was the most enjoyable out off the others purely due to its humour and creativity. The thing that went well with this film was that it combined both humour and practicality into one. They also used aspects of CLAMP such as props body expressions. Body language when the person was shot and costumes (High visibility jacket). Even better if it was longer and also if it had different settings instead of just one place. Out of ten I would rate this film a solid 8/10

The best Year 12 production in my eyes was detention. This was a particular film which grabbed the attention of the audience because of its shocking storyline. The dramatic scene at the end of the film was the best part of it as the effects made it seem real which shocked us as the audience. The thing that went well with this film was that it used great use of setting as the school was the prime location for the affair taking place with the teacher, also the use of effects was really good as it made the film almost seem realistic. Even better if they made more use of camera shots and angles within the film. Out of ten I would rate this film a 9/10
