Narrative- detailed explanation and commentary of how the opening will set up the film’s narrative.

We planned to establish the film world’s equilibrium by analysising the film under the area of editing , camara work, mise en scene Ligthting and sound

Mise en scene

The opening has characters ranging from 16-18 years old, with a dress code including casual clothing. The expected clothing the characters wear adds to the realism of the narrative. The setting of Our Holiday is shot in "Essex", but actually Oxford.  We have set up the environment so that it represents stereotypical view of Essex. Therefore the opening main target is to be current, in other words the represent the social image of young people today. In addition we aim to show the contrast between the two cities Essex and Oxford as they are stereotyped to be two different places, and this film is trying to erase those differences, and show it on a different perspective. 

Editing

The editing of our media product is very important because of the techniques used by Spielberg, or Michael Bay. An example technique we used most effectively the quick cut in the dramatic pats of the opening. This involved the use of mortgage to increase the continuity of the seqence. The editing on more dramatic scenes, involve the wide use of montages, but also colour our film by our lighting, and a bit of post producion to use the colour scemes orange in the foreground and blue in the background. This lighting sceme can be seen in Transformers. It is something we will use. We will use time to our advantage in this film - Eg. Time lapse from day-night. 

Camera work  

Our camera is a Canon 110d, so it is practical - EOS Digital. We plan to use a continuous shot in our opening, and by this we have had to build a Steadi Cam out of PVC Piping! IT WORKS! I can't really talk much about this, as we will only find problems when filming, so keep posted here.

Lighting “colour”

Sound

Again, there isn't much to say about sound.. only that we hope it goes well! One point is soundtracks. As there will be a few montages, music will play a very large part in the film. In our Opening, we have chosen a very appropriate soundtrack (can't reveal yet!)
