Panic over

Good news we Mr Croft found our filming for our preliminary so we eventually could stop stressing out about filming it again, phew! So we got on to editing as soon as possible as we only had one double lesson, which was much less time than the other groups.

Oh dear

Uh oh when we came to our lesson after filming our office scene we came to put it on the computer it wasn't on our SD card from the camera. Mr Croft said this would be a very good learning curve as we will know now to make sure as soon as we film to put it on the computer.

Preliminary Planning

Preliminary Planning-Week commencing 23rd January
Our task was to create a film where a character walked across the room sat down exchanged dialogue, maybe using shot reverse shot action but remembering not to break the 180 degree rule.
We didn't have much time to plan and film so we decided it would be best to do it in school, but try make it so that it didn't look like we film it in a school environment.
- Our first idea was to film in the school lift and someone having a panic attack and having to sit down and have a conversation but due to health and safety and limited time we decided to not go with this.
- Another idea was to sit in the cafe and have a discussion but we though that this may be too boring
 -The other idea we came up with, which we stuck with was to have an office situation where theres two people one goes out and the other steels something off their computer

Practise final edit- Territory

This is our final version of our practise film called Territory.

In this video its a man walking (our actor which was Adam benett) and we wanted to get it so you didn't get his face in the camera so we filmed from a high angle shot for the establishing shot then for the main part videoed his feet to make the part where you see his face have more of an effect. then we did shot on shot face shots when he bumps into his friend (played by Joseph Elton) when he says 'where have you been?'.  

We also chose to do this in black and white to create more of an eerie effect. The piece of music we used is also to build up a dramatic effect.

I think that this was very successful as it was are first time eve making a film and only had 2 hours to film and edit it which i feel is a very good achievement. Without planning i don't think we would have achieved the final outcome.

Storyboard for practise film

This is the storyboard for our practise, it is only one page as it was only a 30 second film.

1. The opening shot is the establishing shot where we get Adam Benett our main actor to walk round a corner with his hood up so you cannot see his face.

2. Here we have a close up on Adams feet as he is walking and is a close up, we also wanted to add the sound of his footsteps in the filming.

3. Only just a close up on his back as he walks up the steps and walks through the door, where we had the noise of the creaking door.

4. A high angle shot from the other side of when he walks through the door.

5. Then a high angle shot with the door frame covering his head so we still do not see his face.

6. Goes black 

7. Bumps into Joseph Elton(our other actor) and Joe says 'where have you been?' the lines our short film had to be based around.

8. (Shot on shot talking action is happening in this and the shot before) In this Adam pulls his hood down and the sun light beams through and it is in slow motion and the music also slows down.

First ever attempt

The other day we did our first attempt at creating a film which had to include the words 'where have you been?'. We had to plan, film and edit this all in the space of a few lessons and all the groups videos were really good for the first attempt. In our film we based it on a person walking through the school not showing the face and then bumping into someone and them saying 'where have you been' on the editing side we turned it black and white to add a dramatic effect with the every music.
