preliminary exercise

This is our preliminary exercise,our task was to film someone walking and opening a door. this was then to be followed by two people exchanging a few sentences of dialogue to finish.

recce shots

these are our initial recce shots. from the beggining you can tell that we had no idea where to shoot but as it gets to the bottom we found a good place and took numerous photos of different angles and shot types.

We have decided to do a completely new idea which consists of a famous figure giving a speech to many people and a threat from a terrorist groups arises and the famous figure gets assinated, however we are not to sure on the nature of the famous person however we have found a good place to shoot and will be uploading the wrekki shots soon.

Here is the research we carried out into what sort of film our target audience would like.

main project idea outline.

this is one of our initial ideas in detail. it shows where we want to set it out and any props or costumes we want to include.

Copyright infringment rules

When we have finished our final film opening we have to make sure that we either have permission to use certian songs or have at least informed the owner of the song that we are going to use it and that if we dont hear from you we will presume that its ok to use it.

prezi presentation

this is our presentation we did, we are still waiting on the feedback video. in this we show 3 different ideas and explain each of them in turn.

Our main film opening genre and idea plus target audience.

we are hoping to focus our film opening around a thriller genre. we have 3 ideas but we have come to a conclusion that we want to film someone being bullied and then the situation is switched around when one of the group is alone and he bumps into the bully and his big mates who give the bully a taste of his own medicine.


we will be targeting people who like thriller films and are interested by reverse situations. this will probably be around the age of 16+

Our Video Uploads.

Unfortunatly we currently cannot upload our video feedback from our 30 word pitches.
we are hoping that the technicians come up with a solution and we can get them uploaded asap.

The Brief

We have started our main task, we are to create an opening to a film. we have a couple of ideas rolling around but they need to be developed more before anything else.

goodfellas opening codes and conventions

This film is presented by warner bros. the beggining of the titles where the warner bros logo is shown may show that the film didnt have alot of m oney to work with. i believe this because the warner logo is the original and not been made to suit or flow with the storyline.
there are also some good camera angles in the first few minutes, there are some close ups in the car and when they have got out there are some match on action of the man in the boot being stabbed and shot

code and conventions in film openings

in the very beginning of this trailer the warner bros logo is used, the logo itself is made to look slightly gloomy and dark to represent the film within itself even though it hasn't officially started yet.

i believe this top show the code and conventions of the harry potter 7 part 2 trailer well.

codes and conventions

Codes and Conventions in Media
• The media construct reality.
• The media have their own forms, codes and conventions.
• The media present ideologies and value messages.
• The media are business that have commercial interests.
• Audiences negotiate meaning in media.
Media mediate reality via the use of recognized codes and conventions,
and the credibility or realism of a media text may be judged by the degree
to which the audience identifies with what is being portrayed.
Media students identify three categories of codes that may be used to
convey meanings in media messages: technical codes, which include
camera techniques, framing, depth of field, lighting and exposure and
juxtaposition; symbolic codes, which refer to objects, setting, body
language, clothing and colour; and written codes in the form of
headlines, captions, speech bubbles and language style.

preliminary exercise.

we have now almost finished our preliminary exercise, im only waiting for the video so i can officially upload it to here. ill upload it as soon as i can.

overall i think the filming went rather smoothly. i thought the editing was abit complicated but we are slowly getting to grips with it.

Continuity

In fiction, continuity (also called time-scheme) is consistency of the characteristics of persons, plot, objects, places and events seen by the reader or viewer over some period of time. It is of relevance to several media.
Continuity is particularly a concern in the production of film and television due to the difficulty of rectifying an error in continuity after shooting has wrapped up. It also applies to other art forms, including novels, comics, anime, videogames and animation, though usually on a smaller scale.

Shot/Reverse Shot

Shot reverse shot (or shot/countershot) is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen), and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.

match on action

match on action is when there is an ordinary shot of anything and the camera cuts to the more important parts of the shot.

This video clearly explains how match on actions works. :)

180 degree rule

The 180 degree rule is when you have one camera angle where two people are facing certian direcctions. because you have done this you now cant switch to the opposite side.(the other side of the 180 line) if you were to move the camera over the line without cutting it then it is allowed because you can see the movement over the line.
