Recording Renaissance Revisited - Day 4

This opening shots are influenced by Robert Zemeckis' 'Back to the Future' in which Marty McFly plugs  his guitar into the enormous amplifier, and then turning all of the dials to the limit. I used extensive use of jump cuts with the dials, especially jump zooms.

This are a couple of stills from the playing of the band, which involve the drums and guitar. I was influenced by the style of music videos, especially 'Reptilia' by The Strokes and 'Teddy Picker' by the Arctic Monkeys. I also looked to the opening of Edgar Wright's 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World'. The editing is very fast paced, and corresponds with the beat of the song played over the top. I also used quite a few 'whip pans' in which the camera pans very quickly and creates a blurred effect, Martin Scorsese and Paul Thomas Anderson use this camera technique often. I then edited these whip pans together to create a smooth blurred transition. I really liked that effect

At this point, I gave up trying to shoot the film in sequence, and began filming what I could at the time. At this point, the main character just heard the band play for the first time, and he fainted from shock in the process, he had never heard music before. The first shot is a slow camera drift that slows fall onto his body, a common film technique that is used when someone is about to regain consciousness. It is used in 'Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey' 

After the main character discovers the drum kit, there is a short montage of shots containing close-ups of different parts of the drum set up, it is edited in time with the beat of a drum solo by Mark Mothersbaugh found on the 'Rushmore' soundtrack.

Renaissance Revisited- Opening Credits

These are shots of my opening credit sequence, which features an effect from final cut express, where stripes are created from the movement in the frame. I then manipulated the colours to create a vibrant and psychedelic effect. The original footage was a simple pan of a table leg
