We used a rare type of filming style, where we had majority of the shots being from the character's perspective. This was to confuse the audience as the genre of the film is mystery and we want to confuse the audience. Also it supports the convention of mystery films by confusing the audience. The unique filming style suggests that the film will also be unique. To give some clarity to the narrative of the film we had a more normal styled news report with a standard medium shot of the reporter. Some examples of films that had similar filming style to our production is The blaire witch project, and Cloverfield.
Editing
We used basic editing techniques, like jump cuts, to make our mystery film more confusing to the audience and mysterious. The lighting is rather low key due to the location being a forest so the trees blocking out the sun light, however this fitted the genre and made a sense of doom and despair for the character who was alone. Most action films use quick jump cuts when showing action and this type of editing can forebode something bad or evil that could come.
Costume
the costumes and props in the film opening are important, however we cannot see much of if any of the main characters costume as its from their perspective, but we can see the news reporter's suit which is what is expected from news reporters.
Title
Our titles follow the convention of a film opening, with a font that fits the mystery genre. We also have a title of the companies that would fund these types of films. We chose Warner Bros as they make this types of films, for example, shutter island.
Props
We have props that would be expected if there was a plane crash so things like bags and suitcases laying around. We also have some survival equipment, a knife and a canteen we also have a backpack to carry things around in.
