LES BLEUS DE RAMVILLE

I have watched and analysed the opening of Les Bleus de Ramville as research for the film opening that we are going to make. 

In this opening shot, as the audience we experience what it is like to be in the locker room before a game.  It is a mid-shot that dose not show the players face almost creating tension and expressing the pressure that the players have before each game. Finally gives the audience the feeling that they are a fly on the wall in the pre game process making them feel involved. 

 This is a low-shot again still not showing the players face to create  further suspense. Again making the audience feel as tho they are involved with the preparation for the game as they are witnessing even such a simple job as putting on their shoes.  Also the lighting gives a misty feel to it creating the feel of pre match intensity. 

This is a birds eye view angled shot/ high angled shot. The way that the shapes move on the page show the plan and the tactics of the game and it proves to us that although you have to physically prepare for a game you also have to mentally prepare.  The way this sequence has been created was through istop motion (onion cutting)  and I have had previous experience with the method if I were to use it for my final film. 

This is a low angle shot looking up to the middle of the players pre game huddle. This allows the audience to feel as tho they are in the middle of the action for the first time. The lighting is also dark creating shadows under the players faces making the pre game chat feel extremely serious.
