Post 12: Independent Work Towards Targets

 Here is an image of me practising shot size's as you can see from my second post I took more to get the adjustments right when filming because I was the camera man. I personally thought that this would be a good idea because if I get all the angles right filming it would be better and look more professional.

This is an image of me practising the 180 degree rule so that we would be able to stick to the rule to make the film look realistic. By doing this I wanted to achieve full understanding of the rule so that I could master it when filming, when film we put tape on the floor so that we know we would cross the line. It is important to do this because you can make the people/actors look like they have changed sides. this is why i went out and did independent work.

Here I have also practiced a shot-reverse- shot because I know that I would be using it a lot within filming so I thought it would be good to go out and get some practice of the shot to make sure it would work in our film and speaking parts.

What I have done here is gone around all the locations that we will be shooting in to make sure that we have choose the right area's as a group because it is vital to get a perfect loaction.

 

 

 

Post 11 Smart Targets

So that I improve my film and blog I am going to set myself five smart task.

Smart targets

1. Lighting- My smart target is to making sure I use lighting when filming because when filming the preliminary task i didn't take filming into consideration and just filmed with the natural light when it would of been better to use artificial light.

This link takes us to a website that will show you how to use lighting in different environment.

2. Script writing- What I have to take into consideration when writing the script is weather or not the audience will connect to what we are writing or weather they will enjoy the final articular. what i will do to insure that the script is better than last time is take these details into consideration.

3. Framing- When filming what we have to take into consideration is the rules of framing like the rule of thirds and make sure we include them in the film to make our film better and more realistic.

This takes us to a website that will show us and teach us about framing so we will be able to improve are filming from this advice and skills.

4. Improving level of ICT in blog- How I plan to do this is be adding more links so that we will be able to look at website that helps us with the area we are looking at, at the time. I will also like to add in more video's because i feel that they help people and me to learn better and it give the blog a different look and will benefit people as well.

5. Team communication- I feel that our group could improve our communication but i feel that we work well as a team last time. What i would improve would be to make sure we know all the times of filming and talk more as a group when making decisions.

Post 10: Evaluation of skills developed

Here we have is a video showing us what we thought went well with the filming and what we also felt didnt go to well.

This short clip will allow us to see what we have done well within the film and what we could maybe improve.

Post 9: Post-Production

35:18 sec	01:09:15 min	Scene 3	2	2	This had the same problem as above because the interruptions.	Good
01:10:09 min	01:27:07 min	Scene 4	2	3	This was hard with the height of Jordan and the height of the girl sitting down. Trying to get them both in the frame.	Bad
01:28:01 min	20:08:23 min	Scene 5	3	3	This was hard as we was filming in the road so car was getting in the way which therefore means we had to re-film some.	Bad

Post 8: Production Report

How did the shoot go? Our shoot it was hard. The reason this was is because we lost one of our group members early on which made use have to find another actor for the part plus we had to re-film the first scene and a bit of the second scene.

What problems do you encountered?  The problems that we encountered was that it was hard to get the rooms we need and the time we need them. The second problem we faced was that we lost Morgan who was our main character in the film.

How did you overcome the problems? We overcame the problems by coming together as a team and working together well. This was hard at first to sort the group out again but we managed to make a good film.

How well did you work as a team? At first we weren't a great a team as some of the members weren't taking the film seriously. This all changed when we lost the group member because we had to pull together and all work as a team as we only had three people.

What do you think of the footage you shot? I think that the footage that we shot is good but we can learn a lot from the footage and take this with us into the main task and learn from the mistakes we made and make sure we don't make them again.

Are there any areas for improvement in the technical execution? I think that we could improve a little bit, what we would do is maybe film different and harder shots to make the film look better. One we could of improved is the establishing shot because it wasn't great.

Is there anything you will need to do now as a consequence of the footage you shot? Well we had to re-film a few times and after we shot the footage we had to edit the film to get it perfect. also it was difficult to edit because we didnt get the actors entering and leaving the shot so it made it hard to edit.

Have you gone along with the rules of continuity? Yes as we have as we made the actors look the same in all the the scenes as they are all wearing the same clothes through the whole film.

Post 7: Additional Pre-production Documentation

Here we have the location recce, this is here for us to see whether the area's we have chosen are acceptable and appriote for filming. After we have done this we write a little annotation under the images to say what we will be doing within this area.

What we have here is the technical recce. We have done this so that we can see any problems that we might face and the problems that might occur when filming.

This is our risk assessment, we have done this to alert use all about the risk that are involved with filming this film.

Here we have our shooting schedule, this is here to take out with us when filming because it will show us what scenes come first and the what is next.

This is our mise-en-scene work, what this does is say everything that will be in the shot, this can be the surroundings, and what the character is wearing.

This is our equipment list which shows all of our equipment, cast and props.

Post 6: Shot List & Storyboard

These two images are the Storyboard for our film.

This is the shot list for our flim.

How we made the shot list is by getting the idea for the film  into our heads, after that we broke the idea down into sections so that we could make shot list. The idea we had thought up fell nicely into place for us making the scenes as they all rolled into each other nicely help us make the shot list.
By doing the shot list it helped us create the storyboard, the reason for this is because all the scenes are in place so therefore all we had to do is get images of the area we would be using, list the camera and character movements and the sound and scene length.
