Task 4: Final Contiunity clip and Evaluation

The clip we have prodcued includes all the continuity features such as the 180 degree rule, action match and shot/reverse shot. The video challenges and relates to real media products as it has a lot of vermisiltude in that the process looks real and this attracts the audience. This sort of video may be attract all different age groups and genders as it is not spefic. The video and comments made showed that the storyline is good and the chracters had its advantages and disadvantages. I have learned in order to get a story and video a good and detailed plan is needed and so this will help me acheive the best i can in my final project.
I have taken to comments from my peers who have evaluated this video to add to my final project.

The clip would not upload however this is the link to it on Mr Earls blog.

Task 4: Editing

Today we started our editing which we already had all our shots on the media server. We had to upload the shots on to  Adobe Premier. From this we had to decide which clip was the right one. This was done easily as I had done a logging sheet as we were shooting. We then had to cut the shots fromt eh parts we didnt need. Firstly for all the shots we cut 3 seconds from the start and end as we had left a certain amount of time in between each shot. This made it easier so we did not here dialogue that was not needed in the actual shot. Next we put all the clip togther, this was done very easily as we had the right shots and all the cuts to the shots had been made. We decided to insert a cross dissolve to show the difference between our flashback and the rest of the shot. This would mean the auidence can see it is a change in time and this will be clear. We then noticed some continuity at the end which we resolved by fading the image as it was the end of the clip. This worked so we did not need to re-shoot again.

Task 4: Shooting

We have completed the shooting and we also filled in a logging sheet as we went along.  This helps us note which shot was right and what camera number it is so it is easier and quicker to edit. Here it is:

Task 4: Shooting

This is our 3rd and final day of shooting. This day was all about making sure we had enough footage as you can never have enough. We also shot our last scene. I had to shoot some things at my house and so I also did this. This is the call sheet for this day.

Overall we have completed the task of shooting by the deadline and are now ready to edit out shots.

Task 4: Shooting

This is the day 2 shooting which went very well. However we noticed on one the volume was to low and so we had to re-shoot but it did not take long. This is the call sheet for this day.

Task 4: Shooting

The Shooting of Day 1 went very well to start with. When we were shooting we decide to rehearse a bit before so we got it right in one go. We also left 5 seconds before scene and afterr so this would be useful fro ediiting later. This is the call sheet of day 1 and what we have shot. While shooting this day we realised in the at the end there was some continuity within the shoot which is where we would have to shoot it again.

Task 4: Plan

Over the half term I thought of an idea to produce a very detailed plan as this will get better marks and make the shoot easier to produce. I came up with producing a shooting schedule and call sheets for each day. This would make it much easier to shoot quickly as we only has limited time. It also meant we could find out of locations were free for us to shoot in. I also came up with adding a logging sheet for each day so we knew which shots were the right ones and this would make it easier to edit. This is the Script and Shooting Schedule:

This means we are all ready for shoot and have a well orgainsed plan

Task 4: Storyboard

I have completed a story board with lots of detail of the scenes. There is detail on what type of shots, movement, rough timing of shot, special effects needed and the dialogue that needs to be part of the shot. Here is the storyboard I produced:

Please leave any comments on the plot!!!

Task 4: Planning

This lesson we have decide to start the planning as we have thought of our plot. As we were planning we thought of another idea to add the plot, when the woman is asked the mysterious question it then turns into a flashback where she is seen told to leave from her job. We thought this would give it a black and white scene and be a different shot of the past. For the planning we had over half term to orgainise the shoot.  We were told to include a script, storyboard and any other production planning as makes it look more professional. We were going to produce a script, storyboard and the production schedule would have many different types of sheets to orgainse the shoot. We had over half term to plan the shoot.

Task 4: Continuity Task

This task is where we have continuity features such as action match, shot/reverse shot and 180 degree rule to include in a sequence. We will only be given the following and so we will have to think of a plot for ourselves, make a script for it and also do all the planning. The clip must include:
-A character opening a dorr(Action Match)
-Crosses a room(180 degree rule)
-Sits on a chair facing another character
-exchanges dialogue(shot/reverse shot)

In order to get the highest amount of marks we need to show:
-Steadiness of shots
-Framing Shots
-Variety of shots/distances
-Shooting with appropriate material
-Mise-en-scene-colour/lighting/objects/setting
-Editing using appropriate effects
-Accurate use of sound
-Appropriate titles

The First Lesson we discussed a story line we could use. We had to think I a lot as it had to reasonable and easy to film as we had limited time and limited access to locations we would like to have.

Plot: A woman has an interview for a teaching job and is very nervous for the interview. Going into the interview will be our action match shot and 180 degree rule. The shot/reverse shot will be the interview when the woman has had a seat. The interview carries on and then a question arrises where the woman seems unsure what to say. Then she is sitting in a cafe with a baby scan which gives the audience a sense of mysteriousness....
