Final group film synopsis
In my group we have decided that our synopsis will be about a couple come back from a holiday. They spend countless amount of money on souvenirs , new clothes etc. Money that isn't theirs to spend. The people who the money belong to comes looking for them. The owner is a mafia , so as you know things wont end well. While the woman is oblivious to the fact that she thought that the money belonged to him , he ends up putting both himself and her in danger.
On the way home from their holiday , they come across two black figures who suddenly knocks out the man leaving him on the floor bleeding to death and take away the girlfriend leaving him helpless. The attackers make countless amount of death threats and use the woman as bait to make the boyfriend pay up. They will stop at no cost to get what they want.

Film Synopsis idea
My idea for the film synopsis is that there would be two main characters who the film is centred around their lives ; male ( Sam ) and female ( Lilly ) who are a couple. They are coming back from a holiday abroad. On the way back they run into a young gentleman ( Mark ) who looked very friendly. The young man starts to converse with them asking personal questions and discover that they all live in the same neighbourhood. As time goes on he becomes closer and closer to them - going to their house , meeting their friends and family etc. Strange things begin to occur since that they day they have came met this man at the airport. The couple begin to catch on to what the man's intentions are & slowly starts to distance themselves from him.
Lilly starts to get flash backs of all the strange things that he'd do or say every time he'd come to their house/get together. They knew deep down that he was a dodgy person but didn't really take no notice of it as they thought that that was just him as a person ; his personality. Every time they'd see Mark , they would try to avoid him as much as possible. Mark was no fool and knew what was going on. He vowed to take revenge for humiliating him infront of everyone.
Analysis 3
What I liked about this film sequence is a vital technical code that they used. Which is the use of different sound techniques ; diegetic , non-diegetic and synchronous sound.
They build up tension and suspense for the audience to want to go and view the film.
What went well is the story that unfolded and explained to the audience what it was all about.Also the use of different camera angles and shots all create tension and draws in the attention
of the audience leaving them wanting more.
Analysis 2
What I liked about it is how they used different sound techniques. The voice over which isn't usually used in film sequences showed originality. I also like the way they introduced the main character(s) and gave us an idea of what it would be about.
What went well is the editing , which is also a technical code. They seemed to have used a variety of different techniques which consists of
sound , filtering , camera angles etc.
Even better if they could have made it clearer on what genre it is because it is quite vague and unclear. They could have done this by using the codes and conventions of their particular chosen genre.
Analysis 1
What I liked about the piece of short film was how they used symbolic codes. The red that
would get you immediately thinking about what it denotes and connotes. It tells us that there
will be danger in the film as it is only showing a small part of the film and tells us what genre it is ; as it is a sequence.
What went well was that they kept to the 180 degree rule and didn't break it. Also how they Incorporated
the sounds/music and used the different sound technique to make it look real ; verisimilitude.
I think that it would be even better if they used more editing techniques instead of using the same old one that jumps from scene to scene.
By using more techniques it would show of their skills and examiners how good they can edit.

180 degree rule
The 180 degree rule : In media when film making you have to follow the basic guideline when filming a character and another character or an object within the scene. An imaginary line which you can't see is called the axis which connects the characters. It is basically to ensure that both characters stay on the same side of the camera for every shot. If the camera passes over the line then it is called crossing line or jumping the line.
