Photographs from filming

 This is the first place in which we would be filming our prelim; the hallway in which we would record our character walking down before he enters the classroom. when walking down this corridoor we will record the shoot a number of times from two different angles. 1) From behind him walking and then 2) infront so that we are able to edit them both into the same clip enhancing the overall effect of the footage.

This is a second picture of the place in which we will be filming out prelim task however this is what it looks like from the inside of the classtoom which the dialog part will be taking place.

Brainstorm for prelim

This is the brainstorm for ideas that we will be using when wanting to create an idea for our prelim task.

Intentions for how to incorporate the required preliminary elements.

- 180 degree rule ;  The way that we will incoperate the 180 degree rule into a preliminary task is by making sure that the camera stays on one side of the actors whilst we are filming the clip. This will help the audience in understading what is happening on screen.

- Shot reverse shot; This will be recorded within the opening sequence of our prelim would be the dialog scene in which will be shown the the character coming in through the dorr sitting down and then having a conversation. The specific way in which the shot reverse shot will be used will be when one character is talking the camera will be focused on them from behind the other character and as the second character begins to speak the camera will then flip to the other side.

- Match on action ;The way that we myself and my group will incorperate match on action into our preliminary task will be through the door scene. This scene is good to use because will be able to show how match on action is used effectively. For instance when the character goes in through the door he will use his right hand to open it and therefore that will be the focus, and then once he is inside you will be able to see from the other side that he has used that same hand from the other side to come into the room.

 

Editing and Filming schedule

 

Filming

Date: 15th March 2012

 

Time: 16.00pm

 

Location: Mac Room at Christ the King. St. Marys.

Recording our preliminary task, when recording we will  need to make sure that we record at the different angles in our storyboard a couple of times so that we are able to get the best possible result and for it to look as effective as possible. In doing this will will be changing sides of the actors whilst they are talking so that we can incorperate the shot reverse shot into our preliminary task but at the same time we will need to stay infront of the 180 degree rule so that the side of the filming did not change, if we do cross the 180 degree rule then when the audience are watching this would have changed their whole prespective on the film.

Aswell as using the 180 degree rule we will need to use match on action so that the footage looks more realistic e.g. when the actor walks into the class room the same hand in which they used to push it open from outside must be used/shown from the other side of the door as they walk in.

Editing

Date:  4th May 2012

Time: 08.50 - 10.20

Location: Mac Room at Christ the King. St. Marys

This will be the time space in which we will be editing our preliminary task.During this time we will be putting together all the footage in which we will be using within the prelim task making sure that all the shots were used effiecntly and placed correctly so that it looked visually pleasing. We aslo changed the volume on the audio files within the footage so that the voices were able to be to here the coversations more clearly.

 

Script

When asking the actors in who would be involved with making our prelim we had a basic idea of what we would want each of the characters to say in order to make it as effective as possible and therefore we created a script, within the scripe we placed the location and time in which we would be filming the sequence and the looks in which they would present.

Storyboard

This is the story board in which my group have decided to use of the three that we initally created and is used to give a generally idea of what shots we will be using when we will be recording our prelim task. As well as showing the different shots that we will be using it also shows the things in which each of the characters will say and therefore almost like a basic script as to what will happen.

Costume List

This is the costume list in which we will be using for the characters for the characters that will be presented within our prelim task.

Understanding Editing software

When looking through youtube i was able to find the tutorials on the editing software in which i was able to find that would help with the understanding how there would be editing the footage that we would be using. This clip also allows me to be able to be able to use different techinques within the footage so that it comes across better to audiences and make it more interesting.

This is another clip that i was able to find on youtube that would help with the editing of our prelim task. in this clip it shows us how to fade in/out of different footage so that a greater effect can be made creating tension within the audience making them think that something is going to happen. This will also be beneficial when creating out main task as will we be able to reuse these  techniques when editing the footage for our main task.
