Shooting Schedule

Question 7

My preliminary task was of me and Harry having a conversation in one of the huts in our school. For this we included a shot reverse shot, match on action, eye-line match, and we kept to the 180 degree rule. For my opening compared to my preliminary I think that the editing flows more and the camera work is up to higher standard as we use a variety of shots.
 

 

The tube chop in my preliminary links to my opening sequence. In this one we also used the 180 degree rule when we are lost in the forest and can’t find the boys we were suppose to meet up with. This implies that the girls are lost in the woods therefore they are now more vulnerable, it is an effective shot as we can also can see the location they are in, the conversation we are having and what the characters are wearing. We are not breaking the rule at any time as we are again in the centre of the camera (on the 180 degree point)and have not gone past the line.


Linking this back to the preliminary task, we have subsequently used match on action in our opening sequence. We have used this at the beginning of the opening sequence where the 2 girls are walking into the forest, and when they are walking through the branches in the forest, this is where we have used match on action. The two shots from both sides flow smoothly together, and show that someone is watching them.

 

Question 6 part 8

What have new technologies allowed you to do that old ones wouldn’t?

The new technologies have allowed me to do things that old ones wouldn't. Firstly animoto has helped me make my work more creative and display photos in a more interesting way. Also iMovie has been a really good technology to allow me to do thing I would have never been able to do before. I am really glad that I picked media because the things I have learnt and used for my work will help me with other things, such as making my work creative.

Question 6 part 7

Were there any times you had to do something again because you hadn’t used the technology correctly?


There were a number of times were I had to redo certain things because I didnt know how to use the technolygy correctly. I had to do one of my slide rockets twice, bubbl aswell. Most of the technoligies have been reallu helpfull and quite easy to use however some I could quite get the hang of at first. Another thing that I founD difficult was finding the embed code on the websites to put onto my blog.

Question 6 part 5

What technologies have allowed you to display your work in a creative way?

Slide rocket has abled me to display my work in a creative work,Animoto is a short video which I put pictures on. Prezi is a better version of powerpoint and is a good way to make my work look creative. Also things such as bubble and worddle are good ways to make small amounts of text look creative.

question 6 part 4

What technologies have allowed you to produce something really creative?

iMovie has allowed me to produce some really creative things, I have been able to make a number of videos on their. Me and a partner once made a 'Push a little button' video. We took photos of buttons on a still image camera and then put the pictures onto iMovie, we cut the clips so they were 2 - 3 seconds short. This worked really well as you couldnt take your eyes off it when watching. We added in music aswell which was the 'Push a little button' soundtrack. Another time iMovie alowed me to produce somthing really creative was the last task me and my group done. It was to create a opening sequence of our chosen genre, which was horror. From using iMovie me, Megan and Charlie were able to edit the football that we got so it flowed nicely and actually looks professional. iMovie also allowed us to add a red filter, titles, and a logo in for our production company.

Question 6 part 6

Our story boards need a lot of planning as we needed to think really carefully about what shot we wanted. We needed to have a reason behind picking the shots so it took a long time and a lot of thought. Me and my group made sure that we were all happy before we actually drew the picture of the particular shot on the story board. We also had to think about the positioning of the titles on the story board, so as well as thinking about why we wanted to use that shot we had to think about were the titles would go. The titles are just as important than everything else so it took a while for me and my group to decide what titles we needed and where they were going to go within the shot. The story board was basically a cartoon version of what our opening sequence would look like. It took lots of thought before we could actually draw anything otherwise we would have been continuously rubbing things out and starting again. Once it was all completed we took pictures of every shot and put it onto iMovie and made it into a opening sequence by adding in music. We tried to follow this as much as possible when actually filming but some shots we did change.
