Sherlock Holmes Script Writing

We looked at this trailer or Sherlock Holmes as we were looking at script writing and looking for particular actions to match them with. Whilst looking at this trailor we found things such as pre-production needs, needs as it is being filmed and then post preduction needs. We noticed that pre-production needs things such permission to film in areas of choice, a schedule to when people are available and when the right times of day are needed for certain parts. They also need to make sure that health and saftey has been checked as well as finding the right people for the right job including props. One main one is planning your script within your budget. During the film you need things such as the right times of the day or night, the weather conditions need to be checked to makesure its ok to film. The main ones being the cameras are set up along side with lightning if its needed. Post production mainly consists of the editing of the production. So this involves things like transitions between shots, special effects, music and CGI. What else we learnt whilst doing this task is film making conventions. Some examples being if there is a extreme close up (ECU) of a persons face it could be that shot to empathysis emotion within that person or that scene. Another example could be a long shot of a person could empathysis isolation towards that person, as the shot has been taken from a distance. High angled shots are another as they could connote power over another. Cultural codes is yet another thing we learnt from this task as things such as clothing and areas. The type of clothing a character is wearing could represent that person. An example being if a male is wearing a suit and carrying a breifcase you automatically persume that character is wealthy and some form of buisness man. Social class is also a one as the view of the house you see in the shot can tell you what sort of charater is going to come next. 
We believe that script writing has helped us with out work as learning key aspects which have been mentioned can help us improve and plan our music video out more with a realistic approach.
