The Plan: another idea for the sequence i had was, to make a trailer for 'little nightmares' which is also a game and i think it could turn out very well because i have music options that could make it very effective. the music options i have are: evil Morty theme - this theme could make it tense and show the full uneasiness of the game i still intend to draw a scene and transition it to a clip of the game. i am also considering drawing other scenes from the game to show other content from the game. i have made the plan of which order i want things to go in which is the following:  * starts of with me drawing the title page in black and white.  * the drawing will then transition to the actual title page from the game itself.  * it will then cut to a scene where the main character gets caught by the janitor and then the chorus        of the song begins when the character is caught.  * cuts to our character running across a brid...

The plan for this project I will be making a sequence from the game Subnautica, and the sequence I plan to make will be very similar to a trailer for the game. I plan to use game play from online as well as making my own at home. for the sequence I plan to include sounds from the monsters in the game and exaggerating them by either layering them up or changing the volume of it. in the sequence I will be adding sounds and noises from the actual game itself such as:  * mechanical sounds  * the robot speaking  * sounds of water either swimming or of waves  * creature/ monster sounds a couple scenes which may work for the sequence are of:  * building scenes  * the sea emperor  * the reaper leviathan also in the sequence I would need to show all kinds of monsters and creatures from all area's of the ocean. for the music I have a couple option I think will work well:  * Under-tale megalovania  * Subnautica abandon s...

film clip analysis Shaun of the dead scene - This scene is a medium shot, and it used to show the conversation between the two characters. This scene is a long shot, and i can show all of the characters as well as where the characters are. This shot is a close up, you can see the detail of the wound, but not super close that you can see every minute detail. This shot is a medium long shot, as you can see everything comfortably in the frame. This shot is  a close up, you can see the detail of the characters and see their emotion. This shot is a medium shot as they fir comfortably in the screen but the camera is close enough to see detail in their expressions. This is a medium close up because it is focused mainly on the character and you can see more detail on the face. This scene is a long shot since you can see the full body of both of the characters
