I have learned and developed as well as applied these four technical conventions to my final thriller opening Noceur. This has been done through watching countless movies, such as Ghost in the Shall, Minority Report and classics like Psycho, Birds, etc Through watching these movies, and applying it within my own, I have developed my capabilities since my preliminary.
USE OF EDITING
Editing is a key factor to make Noceur work. Especially since its from a perspective of a delusional, late teen. This conventions such as the 180 degree rule had to be abandoned. This was to enforce the sense of confusion amongst the audience, wondering, whys he there? and where is there? This was again enforced through the use of the additive dissolve to represent further flashbacks. This referenced to a chase between a female and a male. This small footage provides the entire story line, in a construed was. Another key factor of editing was skipping Harrisons walk down the boulevard during the beginning of the forest opening. By skipping parts, whilst keeping the music calm and continuous, the music becomes asynchronous to the scene, creating dramatic effect amongst the audience In comparison to our preliminary, little editing was introduced at all. We merely put the scenes in the right order.
USE OF MISE-EN-SCENE
In the preliminary, we used no mise-en-scene but the office environment. Regardless, it seemed inappropriate. Us as a group held ourselves too serious, whilst Harrison as the interviewee and later the centre of focus, less so. In our final piece, mise-en-scene was used to more the proficiently; involving the range from dirty to clean, Harrisons t -shirt had ambiguous meaning. For example, not only did it represent the time period, but also the purity of the character himself. Regarding the acting, it had improved greatly. Harrison kept his head consistently, and managed to portray someone retaining a mental condition excellently. This was done through the stone-like expression he kept. His range didnt end there, as he managed to recreate chase during the opening, both from first and thirds perspectives. Thus, mise-en-scene has improved immensely from our preliminary. Especially since it retained representation of mental illness, femme fatale and metaphors of corruption.
