Cinematic influences

Cinematic influences I also had multiple cinematic influences which inspired me to use certain visual techniques to help me to create deeper meaning within my film. The Gunfighter The cinematographer uses a shallow depth of field to highlight the isolation of the character and to show how he is alone/ unwelcome in the environment. I would like to implement this technique into my own short film to highlight similar meaning. As the main character does not know where he is, using a shallow depth of field would highlight the isolation. A shallow depth of field makes the subject stand out against the background, which can be used to highlight the importance of a character or an object. The cinematographer uses tracking shots to  follow the main character, he includes foreground interest in his shot to show the busyness of the scene and to highlight what kind of environment he is in. This would be perfect to implement into my own work to show how the environment

Planning for next shoot Need aerial drone shots of the car, i want to have the music fade from silence as the drone gets closer to the car, and for the drone to stop as it gets as close as it can to the back of the car. Because i cannot have myself in the shot, i will not be close enough to the drone in order to see how close it gets to the back of the car. To solve this i am going too start the drone off close to the car, and get the actor to reverse the car and then play it backwards so it looks like the drone is getting closer to the car as the car is driving forward. As the drone gets closer to the car, the music will start to sound like it would if it were playing inside the car and the audience were listening from outside. Once the drone gets as close to the car as it can, i will cut to a shot inside the car, where the music will be playing as part of the soundtrack, full volume. I will also get a shot of the drone following the car into the courtyard where the main characte

Shoot 3 shots and editing drone shot This drone shot was extremely hard to perform as i had to fly it backwards under a fallen tree which although wasn't very high, the shape of it as well as the hanging branches made it difficult to fly through and get the shot.  Colour grading- i had to colour grade this shot slightly different compared to the other shots, because the drone isn't as good in low light compared to a camera. I had to de-noise the image using the median tool, and i had to increase the shadows much more than i usually would. Shot of keys + meaning explained The meaning of the keys and why they are shown so obviously is because the object acts as a Macguffin, the character always checks to have the keys, and if he doesn't then he knows something is wrong. I added a humming sound effect when he picks up the keys to highlight the importance of the object, picking up the keys in turn broke the paradox, which is why he sees himself get in the tent
