Short Film Research: Skywatch

CAMS
  • Pan to show the change between television and real life.
  • Point of view shot allows the audience to fully understand the scene and the emotion that the character is feeling.
  • Over the shoulder shot shows the conversation that is being had and allows for an emphasis on it.
  • Tilt allows for the audience to see the height of the buildings and just how monumental what has happened truly is.
Mis-en-scene
  • Each setting of a home having the device makes the story more realistic.
  • The use of so may drones as props allows the audience to understand just how powerful the company is.
  • Plain, common outfits set up the two kids to be seen as "normal teenagers".
Editing
  • Zoom to add a focus on what has happened (what is getting zoomed in on).
  • Fade out allows for a more defined finish.
  • Action match to depict the seriousness of the situation with the fast movements to help the audience be confused, just as the character is.
Example Films
  • Stand By Me
  • Thor: Love and Thunder
  • Uncharted
Elements we like
  • Using a zoom allows for the audience to see something that may seem unimportant, but is instead very significant to the story.
  • The attention to detail in the mis-en-scene is important and what helps make the story as realistic as possible.
Elements we don't like
  • Over the shoulder shots are sometimes great, but many times they just aren't as necessary and don't add much value to the story.
  • Pan shots can sometimes be a bad fit for certain scenes, so it's important to make sure they belong in our movie.
