First Shot
In this shot we see the film company Warner Brothers, this shows us that this film is a mainstream film with a large budget. However in these titles the logo has been drawn over in a white pencil. This is to make it look childish, it is also a hint that the film will follow a child. 

Second Shot
In this shot there is the production company, who's logo is also drawn over. The name "Max" is written in the corner, further hinting at the main character, whom is a child. 

Third Shot
In this shot we see the location for the first time, yet we do not see any people. We hear a small child screaming lile a maniac and rapid footsteps and crashing. We are immediately thrown into action and we wonder what is going on. It is also a point of view shot, which puts us in direct view of the action. 

Fourth Shot
We now see the person who is chasing the dog, for the first time. He has just thrown himself down the stairs, and is still chasing the dog; this shows us he is quite hyperactive. He is also wearing a onesie with makes him look like a wild animal, this is key iconography and will be his main costume for the whole film. 

Fifth Shot
In this shot he tumbles down the stairs again, still screaming at the top of his lungs. This shows us that the main character is careless, young and is very playful. He is not taking care for his surroundings. We also still know nothing about these characters for example names or what is happening. 

Sixth Shot
In this shot we see the main characters face for the first time. He growls and screams at the dog, living up to the "wild things" title. This makes the audience understand and recognise the child.       

Seventh Shot
The boy then engages in fight with his small dog, we see a great smile across his face. The camera work is very shakey, which makes us feel like we are involved in this fight. 

Eighth Shot
The screen then pauses mid fight to the scribbled on titles of the film, we see the boys face close up in mid scream hugging his dog. This shows us that the whole film will be fast paced and upbeat. The title is written in the same font that that the production company was scribbled over in. Letting us know that Max is a key element to the movie. This shot then fades to black, to show a passing in time.

Nineth Shot 
In the last show we fade up from a fade to black, to a contrasting shot. Max is relaxed and singing to himself, hidden away from attention in a igloo, in his normal clothing. This shows us a contrast between his two worlds of playfulness and loneliness.    





 

In this task I worked with Mollie Neal to edit a final cut of our preliminary exercise. We used various shots, to show the scene unfold. At the beginning we used match on action to show the entrance to the room. We used only 1 line of dialogue each, as we got confused because we thought that the 2 lines of dialogue meant 1 each. However we did edit in a gun sound, to make the scene more realistic. I think I have a decent knowledge of editing and camerawork as I have previous experience of editing and camerawork, however we did find editing the clips to exactly 30 seconds difficult as most of our shots took up more time than we expected. We will learn from this and try to work to the timelines more precisely next time.                   

On this task I worked with Billy, Mollie and Shirley. We filmed in our school coffee bar on the Tuesday afternoon during our double lesson. We used a Canon Legria Camcorder and Adobe Premier editing software to film and edit the exercise. Some of the skills we practised are match on action, using different camera shots and editing the clips together. The filming went smoothly as we knew what shots we needed, and we were all there to come up with ideas. However editing wasnt as smooth, as the camera had a problem with importing some of the video clips, however we tried again to import them and fixed the problem.
