Filming Part 1

We managed to get half of our filming done today including the bits with the continuity requirements!

Parts with Continuity editing:
Match on action when the Superhero rushes into the room.
Shot/Reverse Shot during dialogue sequence.
180 Degree Rule during the dialogue sequence.
Problems faced:
Finding appropriate areas in which we could film.
Finding a time slot which all members of our group were free to film.
Bad lighting in building.

Hopefully we will be able to get some filming done!

Task Four

We have just finished discussing our decisions on how to produce our preliminary task and have come up with some pretty good ideas!

• We began our discussion and found that we wanted to go with the theme of a superhero having a conversation with a villain. 

• We will initially show the superhero as someone in control with quick camera movements and low angles. This will change when the superhero enters the room. (Match On Action), changing to eye level so the audience can connect emotionally. 
• We will then incorporate the final two contiunity editing (180 Degree Rule and Shot/Reverse Shot)
• techniques into the conversation the hero and the villian have.

Here are some superb examples from our storyboard...

•  The people acting in the film will be Nathan (Villain or NAT) and Alex (Superhero).
• Props will include a Cape (Superhero), Glasses (Villain), Shirt and Tie (Villain) and a Cat (not a live one) for the villain.
• We will be filming outside for the superheros introduction, on the grassy area of the college and inside a classroom for the conversation.
• We will be filming the conversation sequence on Wednesday Period 4 and the outside sequence on Thursday Period 3!

Sorry about the hefty post but we wanted to cram as much information in as possible!

Stage Three

We have decided on who will take which roles within our group:

Camera Operation- Becky
Storyboard Artist- Becky
Location Scouts- Nathan and Alex
Prop Manager- Whole group input!
Casting Director- None needed, only using our group for actors.
Director of Filming- Shona

We will now discuss ideas and produce our storyboard and try to get some of the evidence onto this blog!
