The 15 Greatest Long Takes In Cinema History | Taste of Cinema - Part 3. 5. Children of Men (2006) – Ambush scene, 4 minutes 7 seconds & Battle scene 7 minutes 34 seconds Alfonso Cuarón had already done some long takes in his previous work and would go one to push the art of the continuous shot even further later on his career with the earlier mentioned Gravity, which makes him the only director with two separate entries in this post, but Children of Men contains no less than three of them.
The most often mentioned take is the spectacular and insane car ambush scene, in which the characters are driving along a road and are ambushed by a bunch or forest dwellers. To achieve this shot a special rig was constructed inside and around the car, whilst the seats and windshield were modified so that they could be moved to get actors out of the way and the camera out through the windscreen whilst being able to turn 360 degrees.

Chen What Are Archetypes and How Can They Help? Archetypes embody the universal stories and journeys that all human beings share: the story of the Alchemist within the fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin, the Hero’s journey in Shakespeare’s Henry V, the story of the Lovers in Nick Bantock’s Griffin and Sabine, the archetypal depiction of the Child in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince and the story of the Ruler King Arthur in Camelot, to name but a few. We offer this book, Archetypes in Branding, and the accompanying deck of cards as a new means for collaborating on branding and communications projects. Defining Brand To varying degrees and for various reasons, people are in relationship with brands.
The Connection Between Archetypes and Brand Who is this Tool for? Untitled. 25 Things You Should Know About Storytelling. 1. Stories Have Power Outside the air we breathe and the blood in our bodies, the one thing that connects us modern humans today with the shamans and emperors and serfs and alien astronauts of our past is a heritage — a lineage — of stories. Stories move the world at the same time they explain our place in it. They help us understand ourselves and those near to us. Never treat a story as a shallow, wan little thing. A good story is as powerful as the bullet fired from an assassin’s gun. 2. We love to be entertained. 3. Segmentation. 4. Story is also not a square peg jammed in a circle hole. 5. You put your hand in a whirling clod of wet clay, you’re shaping it. 6. A story is so much more than the thing you think it is. 7.
The storyteller will find no original plots. 8. The audience wants to feel connected to the story. 9. The audience isn’t stupid. 10. Conflict is the food that feeds the reader. 11. 12.

A Detailed Breakdown of a 30-second TV Spot (with diagrams) In this post I will provide a detailed breakdown of a 30-second Public Service Announcement (PSA) I made in 2005 for a competition. My apologies for the soaking wet message at the end of the spot — I was younger and considerably less wise back then. You can watch the spot below (QuickTime required) and I will then analyze specific aspects. Shooting conditions We shot the spot on a bitterly cold night in November 2005 in Oxford, UK. The spot is set in an exterior night location and we therefore had no choice but to wait until sunset to start shooting.
Equipment Camera The camera was the Canon XL1 — this was in the bad old days when independent filmmakers were forced to choose between the unaffordable expense of shooting on film and the barely acceptable quality of DV. Lights We used one large HMI lamp (4K if I remember correctly), a couple of blondes (essentially 2K incandescent lights) and one or two smaller lights.
There were three tracking shots in the spot. Achieving the blue look 1. 2. 3. How to Make a Music Video: 7 Hard-Earned Tips. Shooting the music video 1. Record the track that you are playing back on set as you shoot. This scratch track will help you synchronize the shots with the clean track in post-production. 2. Instruct the singer to sing properly – no half-hearted singing or, worse, miming. If they mumble or mime, it will not look right when you lay the shots against the song, because the tension and movements of the face and body will not be consistent with the sound of the song. They must sing as if you were making a real recording of the song. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Editing the music video Review all the takes and choose your favorite take for every shot. Use the waveform picture in your editing application to align the scratch track with the master copy of the track.
