This Week on The Establishing Shot:
This week we briefly (really briefly) met Sci-Fi Fantasy genre guru writer & Director Joss Whedon and will hopefully have a review of his genre & mind bending Cabin in the Woods up soon.
We also had the opportunity to spend some time with David McIntosh Senior Vice President of Digital Cinema, Sony Europe and gain some insight into the 4K cinema revolution and what it is and means for us cinema goers. I should have an informative post up soon.

Cinematicaly speaking this week we saw a number of notable films starting with The Front Line or Go-ji-jeon a great South Korean war film set in the days towards the end of The Korean War in the crucial area that would define the border of North and South Korea. Part detective tale and part allegory of the madness of war. The Front Line is not as straight forward as some of my favourite South Korean films but is another fresh and original tale from a nation that are becoming the leaders in innovative film. This exceptional film deserves a more descriptive review which should be up soon.

We saw the remastered 3D version of James Cameron’s epic Titanic 3D which is as absolutely marvellous as we remembered it with the addition of 3D. Our full review can be found here: http://www.theestablishingshot.com/2012/02/establishing-shot-are-you-ready-to-go.html

And we quite enjoyed Emilio Estevez’s The Way. Essentially a road film that follows a grieving father as he walks a famed route across the Pyrenees encountering individuals along the way. There is nothing exceptionally innovative about The Way but it is emotionally engaging due to compelling performances mainly from Martin Sheen as group of disparate characters connect. Well worth a watch.

We also saw The Artist which is a beautifully put together and magnificently acted tale of a magical by gone era coming to its end - but find it hard to believe that The Artist is beating out films like; We Need to Talk about Kevin, Hugo or Tinker Tailor for the lion’s share of award accolades.

Whilst Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close sees Tom Hanks return to his schmaltzy best that we know and love some good performances are drowned out by sentimentally an over egging the emotion of a genuinely traumatic event. Rather watch Remember Me which is actually a really good albeit underrated film.

We also saw David Cronenburg’s A Dangerous Method which and would have probably enjoyed it more if we could have engaged with the subject matter and characters a little more.

We also re-watched; Edward Zwick’s marvellous The Last Samurai and were reminded of what power house performers Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe are. Supported by a great supporting cast for this epic Eastern turn of the century war film.

The Establishing Shot: Behind the scenes on Bond 23 Skyfall Vauxhall Bridge Set Visit Photos and video
Yesterday, Skyfall headed to Vauxhall Bridge to shoot its 166th shoot. The shoot on on Vauxhall bridge was considerably more exciting than my previous visit to a Skyfall set that consisted of an underground bunker converted to a spartan and functional office space for shoot: 6.

Sam Mendes and his team were filming M (Dame Judi Dench) Head of MI6 and her Chief of Staff and trusted aide Bill Tanner (Rory Kinnear) being speedily chauffeured across Vauxhall Bridge in their Jaguar XJ L in the direction of MI6 itself.

The Establishing Shot: Are you ready to go back to the - Titanic 3D Review It’s EPIC!
It’s late and I have had to wait for Valentines Day to end before dashing my thought out about James Cameron's remastering and 3D conversion of his 1997 phenomenon Titanic. So please excuse any errors below as I really wanted to get my thoughts on Titanic 3D out as soon as possible.

I remember my first viewing of Titanic. I wasn't too keen on going to see it. This was after all a romantic tale from James Cameron - the man who brought us the all out action thrill rides of The Terminator, Aliens and The Abyss. But my extended family roped me into seeing it and predictably I was swept away by the tale of carefree but penniless Jack the lad Dawson and his pursuit of Rose DeWitt Bukater and how Jack comes to prove he is worth more than a damn.

The Establishing Shot: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Review
I enjoyed Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance it is by no means a perfect film but and I’ll go so far as to say that Nicolas Cage’s interpretation of this Ghost Rider is up there with the best of the comic character to screen adaptations that draws on the essence of the character like; Billy Campbell's Rocketeer, Christian Bale’s Batman, Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man, Dolph Lundgren’s Punisher, Wesley Snipes’ Blade, Mickey Rourke’s Marv, Robert Downey’s Iron Man, John Wesley Shipp's Flash and The Watchmen. Yip I think that's all of them.

EXTREMELY LOUD & INCREDIBLY CLOSE
'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close' is a story that unfolds from inside the young mind of Oskar Schell, an inventive eleven year-old New Yorker whose discovery of a key in his deceased father's belongings sets him off on an urgent search across the city for the lock it will open. A year after his father died in the World Trade Center on what Oskar calls 'The Worst Day', he is determined to keep his vital connection to the man who playfully cajoled him into confronting his wildest fears. Now, as Oskar crosses the five New York boroughs in quest of the missing lock - encountering an eclectic assortment of people who are each survivors in their own way - he begins to uncover unseen links to the father he misses, to the mother who seems so far away from him and to the whole noisy, dangerous, discombobulating world around him.

POSITION AMONG THE STARS
For 12 years, film maker Leonard Retel Helmrich followed an Indonesian family from the slums of Jakarta and this resulted in the trilogy 'Stand van de zon', 'Stand van de maan' and 'Stand van de sterren' ('Eye of the Day', 'Shape of the Moon' 'Position among the Stars') Just as in the previous two parts, which received many international prizes, in the third part 'Position among the Stars', the maker shows us the underlying patterns of life in Indonesia. He presents that both literally and metaphorically with his revolutionary camera work. The Indonesian Sjamsuddin family is, in a way, a microcosm in which you can recognise the most important issues of life in Indonesia: corruption, conflict between religions, gambling addiction, the generation gap and the growing difference between poor and rich.

The Establishing Shot Feature: Analysing how horror films scare us!
With The Woman In Black terrifying audiences in cinemas this week. Hammer screenwriter and executive Nic Ransome takes a look at some of the key techniques horror film-makers use to elevate our state of awareness and keep us on the edge of our seats. Much of which can be experienced to great effect in The Woman In Black.

Music
From the stomach-knotting insistence of John Williams' Jaws theme to the violin stabs of Bernard Herrmann's Psycho, from the repetitive droning of Terminator 2 to Hammer's often-discordant scores, music can instill unease, suspense and distress in an audience, softening them for the SHOCK to come.

Video: Jaws - Get Out of the Water Clip

Camera movement
The slow track, whip pan and dolly zoom are all used in horror. The slow track builds suspense; the audience knows something will be revealed but must wait for the camera to find it. The whip pan mirrors a film's hero suddenly turning to face his foe, as yet un-glimpsed. The dolly zoom, though rarely used (Vertigo and Jaws are the most famous examples) creates an immediate sense of both disorientation and inevitability (both key to horror).

Video: The Establishing Shot: The Woman In Black - Girl In the Cellar Clip


Sound effects
Creaking floorboards, howling wind, rustling leaves, snapping twigs, squeaking doors: sound design takes noises that we all know from real life and amplifies, distorts and twists them, changing something that should be harmless into something evocative of the most intense foreboding. In "haunted house" films like The Woman In Black the sound design is crucial, creating an enclosed world of heightened awareness and mounting dread.


Video: The Woman in Black - Lady in the Chair Clip


Dream sequences
Often used in horror films, dream sequences take us into the darkest recesses of the human mind. For maximum effect, film-makers often trick the audience about when these sequences start and finish (there are benchmark examples in A Nightmare On Elm Street, Hellraiser and Hammer's The Plague Of The Zombies).

Video: A Nightmare On Elm Street - Kris' Nightmare Clip


Playing with identity
Many of the best horror films play with the identity or quality of a character, creating a world in which absolutely no-one can be trusted and what we think of as reality is constantly undermined: humans who have turned into zombies, vampires or werewolves but aren't yet exhibiting symptoms; characters that are possessed by aliens or ghosts; monsters that are more human than their creators; humans that are really ghosts; ghosts that are really human - identity is often deceitful in horror.

Video: The Thing - Replicated a Person Clip

The Dark
The dark is to horror what a sunny day is to romantic comedy. The dark is where monsters live. Where our worst nightmares come true. Where the light we carry always goes out. In horror if a character can survive the dark, they'll probably survive the entire film (but not always). Stand-out examples are Neil Marshall's cave-bound The Descent, the brilliantly-conceived Pitch Black and the [REC] films (especially the use of night-vision in [REC]2, which features one of the most inventive and terrifying sequences in all horror cinema).

The Establishing Shot: Poster of the Week - Black Gold UK Poster
Black Gold will be in cinemas next Friday 24th February sees the release of Jean-Jacques Annaud’s epic new film Black Gold.

Under the unforgiving desert sky, two warring leaders come face to face. The bodies of their warriors litter the battlefield. The victorious Nesib, Emir of Hobeika (ANTONIO BANDERAS), lays down his peace terms to his rival Amar, Sultan of Salmaah (MARK STRONG). The two men agree that neither may lay claim to the area of no man’s land between them called The Yellow Belt. In return and according to the tribal customs of the time, Nesib will “adopt”- or take hostage- Amar’s two boys Saleeh (AKIN GAZI) and Auda (TAHAR RAHIM); a guarantee that neither man can invade the other. Years later, Saleeh and Auda have grown into young men. Saleeh, the warrior, itches to escape his gilded cage and return to his father’s land. Auda cares only for books and the pursuit of knowledge. One day, their adopted father Nesib is visited by an American oil man from Texas (COREY JOHNSON). He tells the Emir that his land is blessed with oil and promises him riches beyond his imagination.

Nesib imagines a realm of infinite possibility, a kingdom with roads, schools and hospitals all paid for by the black gold beneath the barren sand. There is only one problem. The precious oil is located in the Yellow Belt.

Saleeh is killed in his attempts to escape and return to his father’s kingdom. The task of negotiating peace between the two kingdoms falls to young Auda. Nesib orchestrates the wedding of his beautiful daughter, Princess Leyla (FREIDA PINTO) to Auda. Though that union is borne of political convenience, ridding Nesib of his final obligations to his peace treaty with Amar, for Auda and Leyla their marriage is the symbol of a new beginning, a love that began in their childhood and the chance to shape the world around them. Auda is sent to Salmaah as an emissary of peace. Reunited with his father Amar, he discovers a new outlook on life, one based on devotion, piety and humility. His father offers him a seemingly impossible task, to cross the forbidding desert landscape of the House of Allah, along with his half-brother Ali (RIZ AHMED), as a decoy with nothing more than a ragtag army of thieves. The idea is to trick Nesib and allow Amar to mobilise his real army and conquer the kingdom of Hobeika. Through his journey, which is filled with many spectacular battles against rival tribes and clansmen and sees him free the beautiful slave girl Aicha (LIYA KEBEDE), Auda is transformed from a librarian into a leader.

The stage is now set for an epic showdown for control of the Yellow Belt, for control of the two kingdoms, for control of the future.

The Establishing Shot: Trailer Of The Week - Headhunters
Based on Jo Nesbo’s bestselling crime thriller, Headhunters is the author’s first novel to be adapted for the big screen. Roger Brown seems to have it all. An exceedingly beautiful wife, a luxurious villa and a job as a successful corporate headhunter. He is the best in the business and he knows it. But one career is not enough to fund Brown’s extravagant lifestyle and he becomes embroiled in high profile theft on the side, relieving his wealthy new recruits of their valuable artwork.

 So when Brown discovers his latest candidate, the accomplished and handsome Clas Greve owns one of the most sought after paintings in the world, he sees a way out of his financial problems for good and embarks on his most dangerous heist yet. But nothing could prepare Brown for what he finds in Greve’s apartment and what follows is a dark and relentless game of cat and mouse, as the hunter becomes the hunted.

The Establishing Shot: Independent Spotlight - Chuck Norris vs Communism

Love Chuck Norris? Hate communism? Vernon Films proudly announces the beginning of work on its feature documentary Vernon Films is inviting everybody on board of this project through their IndiGoGo campaign. Offering a wide range of rewards and perks - from spending a day on set to becoming an executive producer - the team is trying to raise the rest of their production budget, but also get as many people involved in the project as possible.

In the 1980's, Romania's communist regime reached its most drastic stage. Ceausescu became obsessed with repaying Western loans and with building himself a palace of unprecedented proportions. TV was reduced to two hours of broadcast, focused mostly on praising Ceausescu and the regime's achievements.

Video: Chuck Norris vs Communism Trailer

Hidden from the scrutinising eyes of the Secret Police, Irina Margareta Nistor dubbed over 5,000 foreign films that entered the country illegally and were distributed on the black market. Her husky and high-pitched voice became the symbol of freedom and Chuck Norris, Van Damme and Bruce Lee became national heroes.

Chuck Norris vs. Communism follows the story of the tapes, the collapse of communism in Romania and the advent of the new capitalist era. The documentary is in its pre-production stage, with Irina Nistor on board and several threads of the story scheduled to be filmed in March. Vernon Films is very happy to open its doors to all collaborators, be it financial or creative and is inviting them to join in the telling of this incredible story.

The Establishing Shot: AWESOME! Of the week - Beyond The Black Rainbow Trailer
Coming across as part LOST, part 2001, part Altered States, part Cube and all mind bending with a strong 70s psychedelic aesthetic - Beyond The Black Rainbow is coming.

Set in the strange and oppressive emotional landscape of the year 1983, BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW is a Reagan-era fever dream inspired by hazy childhood memories of midnight movies and Saturday morning cartoons. Cosmatos was born in Rome in 1974 to the late Greek movie director (George Cosmatos) and a Swedish experimental artist mother. He spent his early formative years traveling all over the globe before settling in Canada. In 1981, the family lived for a year in Mexico where exposure to the strange local interpretations of American pop culture had a profound and lasting effect on his creative life. Growing up in the isolated suburbs of Vancouver Island during the 80s, he obsessed over the minutiae of heavy metal, fantasy art, and science fiction horror films, which he still does to this day. He then immersed himself in the underground art and music scenes making short films, album covers and music videos with a burgeoning group of influential and groundbreaking artists. Panos currently lives and works in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The greatest Short film competition ever - Sci-Fi-London 48 Hour Film Challenge
The 2012 challenge weekend is 14 - 16 April.
Over the last four years the SCI-FI-LONDON Film Festival has run a 48hour Film Challenge and we have had over 380 films completed, many of which have gone to other film festivals and been broadcast on TV.

The challenge takes place a few weeks before the film festival so we can judge all the entries and the winning films can be screened at the festival.

Get a crew together, scout some locations, prep your cast and be ready to make a 5 minute short film in just 48 hours. We ask one member of your team to come to the Apollo Picadilly on Saturday 14 April at 10.30am where we give you the TITLE of the film you will make, some DIALOGUE that one of your characters must say to screen, and a list of PROPS that must be seen in the film. This year we also introduce an optional scientific theme... this could be nano-tech, cloning, gene-splicing...or something a little more "fringe".

Once you have all your elements, you have until Monday morning to return the completed movie to us.

In 2008, Gareth Edwards took part and won the competition. Gareth’s debut feature is the multiple award-winning MONSTERS – and the project was green-lit because Vertigo Films saw his winning 48hour short-film right here! So impressed were they with what he could do with no budget in just 2 days that they decided to develop a feature with him.

In 2011 we had a prize from Vertigo Films of a feature-film development deal, we hope that the winners will complete their first feature next year. Also, one of the runners-up was scouted by The Mill and is now working on some amazing projects. We are working on prizes and jury right now, but the dates are locked, so start planning.

For 2012 we can confirm Vertigo Films are offering another development deal to the winners!

A Cinema Masterclass with Claude Lanzmann
Mon 20 Feb 8.00pm
Born in 1925, Claude Lanzmann, director of the landmark film Shoah, has played a unique role in France’s intellectual scene throughout his life. In 1943 he helped organise the Resistance in Clermont-Ferrand, and after the war he grew very close to Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. They fiercely opposed the French war in Algeria and together they led an anti-colonialist campaign in the 1950s.

Lanzmann has led so many different lives: as a journalist - he’s still the head of the legendary cultural review Les Temps Modernes - a writer, and a film director (Shoah; Sobibor; The Karski Report; Israel, Why; Tsahal). He recounted his life in his memoir The Patagonian Hare, which was a phenomenal success in France and has been translated into ten languages.

To coincide with the release of his book in the UK (Atlantic Books), Lanzmann has accepted to take part in a unique masterclass dedicated to his cinematographic work, illustrated with film clips. Don't miss the chance to hear Lanzmann speak about his inspirational lifetime achievements, passions and commitments!

Claude Lanzmann will be in conversation with Michael Etherton (Executive Producer of UK Jewish Film).
