Pre-lim fiilming editing

We plan to edit the filming by using music between the scenes. Also we plan to make the filming flow to show that it is a average day in college.We are going to use transitions to fill the gaps between each scenes to make it look more effective. If we can we plan to make the film brighter as the film is quite dark.

Pre-lim fiilming

Today we went went outside to film our story boards. we used a range of different places to film from and it all worked out well as the film all loaded up onto the system ready for us to edit next lesson. We took an establishing shot of the long road site. We then filmed Beth walking down a corridor and then we filmed her opening a door sing a close up shot. Then using a match on action shot we filmed Beth walking through the door and through the other side. We then showed Nick doing a shocked face then filed a conversation between Beth and Nick using the 180 degree rule.

Task

Our task is to follow a basic storyboard using the same shot types as shown below. We had to film a short sequence about a person walking down a corridor to a start a conversation. We will be working in groups if 4 to make this film. We have made a storyboard and a shot list and written about what makes each shot effective. All 3 of these have helped us do the task set.

Pre-lim Filming.

Shot 1
Establishing Shot.

- Shows main location (Long Road)

- Gives the viewers an overview of where the scene is set.

- Shows a stereotypical character (student at long road) not necessarily in the actual film. depending on students outside at the time.

Shot 2
Close-up shot.

- Creates tension and the audience are unaware of whats happening. 

- Not much shown in the scene (only a hand) so nothings obvious and you can't see in the room.

- Can't see the character, suspense.

- Representing the character as sly.

Shot 3
Match on action shot
- Shot shows the same movement form two different angles
- Shows viewers whats happening and an acknowledgment of whats going to happen
- Keeps the film flowing
- Giving us information on the characters e.g. full view of what they look like, where they are going, who they are going to see etc. 

Shot 4
Reaction shot
- Lets the audience know whats going on and can confuse them (why is he shocked?)
- Makes people jump and grabs attention
- Shows reaction of character (gives off personality traits, e.g. facial expression)

Shot 5
Long shot
- Shows location, overall view of whats happening
- Could show power or status.
- Characters appearance and posture

Shot 6
Shot reverse shot (conversation)
- Shows speech, facial expression, hand movement (a lot of detail)
- Brings out emotion (sad, happy, moody, angry)
- Filmed using 180 degree rule.
- Shows character traits (make-up, costume, what they are saying)
