Transitions

Following on from the idea of including the first few seconds of the film, we looked into different ways we can make the transition and what different effects doing this has.

1) The Cabin in the Woods, this is an example of how a discreet sequence ends and then it cuts to somewhere completely different and everyday:

Discreet opening titles

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the very fast swipe transition where we move to everyday life



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This is when we have come to everyday life to prcoceed with the film

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought that this was an effective trasition as the two scenes contrast so much making it intresting. The moment we are introduced to everyday life we can see what kind of setting we are in, it is an american commercial buisness building. We pick this up through the suits the men are wearing and their accents, plus the coffee machine.

2) The Others. In this sequence the image displayed in the title sequence fades into the real everyday image:

This is the last shot of the title sequence showing a small house

Then the previous image fades into this one, which is very similar to the animated image, but it is a virtual version

It then cuts to this shot of a woman screaming and the movie commences

 

I thought this method was very intresting, I liked how the blended the two sequences together in that cleaver style and I would be very intrested in including this idea for my thriller.
