Hot Fuzz Scene Analysis: Kill the Messenger

Image
Here is my analysis of the death of Tim Messenger in the film "Hot Fuzz". Here is the link to the video I used: v=BavTQmiA9mc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BavTQmiA9mc WARNING: This clip contains a high amounts of gore. This is Tim Messenger. He comes to Nickolas Angel (Simon Pegg) and tells him that he wants to talk about George Merchant: a character who died earlier in the film. The remains of his death were dismissed as an accident, but Nick suspects it to have been a murder. Tim's name referrers to his role as a messenger, and whatever message he was going to deliver (before his rude interruption at the end of the clip) would be useful for clearing up any doubt surrounding Georges death. He asks Nick to meet him at the church at 3. His hasty request and exit combined with his worried face hint that he fears that what he wants to tell Nick might put him in danger. The fact he wants to go to a place where no-one else is likely to be tells us that anyone other t...

Editing

Editing is very important for taking film footage, and refining it into a finished film. This can be  achieved by changing the order of footage, cutting down shots, even removing unnecessary or unsatisfactory scenes, and also through adding special effects such as smoke, or editing a monstrous visage over an actor wearing a green suit. The way editing works is by taking the film footage, putting it on your computer, and changing things that you want to change. One example of this is cutting out unnecessary parts of the footage for a smoother viewing experience. This is called continuity editing. Cutting is a term broadly used for any break in frames, such as a shot, a new camera angle, and so-on. this is useful for introducing a new location or scene, showing a setting from a different angle, or ensuring smooth transitioning. Dissolving is the act of fading out the old camera shot, and fading a new shot at the same time. This creates a slower transition then a simple cut. Dis...

Behind the scenes: Filming

Here is a look behind the scenes of the creation of the horror film: Starting off, I teamed up with Alex McNally to make the horror film, and we brainstormed ideas for the horror film. Eventually, we came up with the idea of the masked killer who's hunting the son of the detective that caught him. We then made a script (w/o dialogue) and separate storyboards showing our respective visions for the film. (The storyboard and script are on different blog posts.) We then made a shooting schedule (also on a blog post) First shooting: For the first filming session, we filmed at the 6th form block after school (more details on the film schedule) I bought the video camera for the filming, and McNally bought the props (the newspaper and costume) We filmed multiple takes of him doing various actions in the room. While McNally had doubts on weather we had enough footage, I am confident that we have all the footage of the student character that we need. We did end up going back for more ...
