below is our final edit:
Moreover it was a struggle to find a time when our characters would be able to come for filming as if they do not have the time to take out to help us/ act for us then it will push forward filming to another time. Moreover it is difficult with actors as we need to use the same actors the entire time, therefore if they are not able to act then we cannot film as it wouldn't work to just incorporate a new actress/ actor randomly. Therefore we need to make sure they are available well in advance.
As well as this we are filming in a darkroom at the start- but we didn't have night vision camera with us therefore we used the torch on our camera as a way to light up the room and shine on the girl's face- this actually worked really well as it ended up looking like something out of "quarantine". Quarantine is filmed entirely by a camera man therefore making it more believable for audience- almost like a real life documentary (true story).
We then decided on the idea that the girl would be being filmed by the man, therefore being a point of view shot from the camera. Therefore when we go to shoot the scene again, this is the idea we will try out and see if it works effectively.
Any evaluation for this Prentice? What is the difference between your first cut to this?
ReplyDeleteWhere are the shot lists and story board for this also?

ReplyDeleteFirstly with regards to the criteria, you have followed the 180 degree rule and not broken it, and there is evidence of match on action in the chase section. What is not evidenced is the SRS.
You have demonstrated a basic ability to use a camera effectively, with shots held steady and some variety in angle and distance. Further though is required on the way you set up a scene and how you wish the viewer to follow events through the camera. Consider POV-which then will serve you well for SRS-and whether a pan is needed before someone has actually entered the scene. This is not effective in your task. This also highlights your poor framing in places, and so you must think about the positioning of actors and objects in the frame. When someone is speaking it is odd for an audience to have the camera looking at his profile and then to a CU when we would want to be looking at the person from his POV. Good use of diegetic and non-diegetic sound which allows the pace to quicken and further engage an audience. Editing at times hinders engagement. When he enters the room leading to the taking of the phone, the pace of each scene is inconsistent, meaning you have not clipped each section the same. The last scene does not make sense as previously he has already gone through the door and so he cannot then be just going through it afterwards. This is your continuity editing problem along with the sudden appearance of a bag.
