Analysis of Life on Mars

Over the course of the lesson, we watched life on mars analysing the shot duration, effects and transitions of a segment of life on mars. This is so that we could go off in our group and recreate the shots. To ensure accuracy, we tried to put the shots in chronological order and related camera angles in a nearby box. This would make it easier to match up with the timing after we re-created the segment in our groups.





For the remainder of the lesson, the class split into groups. We decided to shoot the section in front of the cars in the car park and the woodland section in the grounds behind the school. For health and safety reasons, we are not allowed to film behind a car, this is to avoid laying down in a crowded area with cars to avoid injury. I think we will shoot this segment outside the car park in order to maintain good lighting as the inside of the car park has less natural lighting. The area that we are shooting the woodland section in is spacious with lots of natural light.


Our group plans for Harriet to be the protagonist as she has had no screen time in the previous continuity exercise. I will be the woman running in the red dress, for a brief shot, Rachel will be the main camerawoman, though we may alternate filming segments.
