On Monday 05/10/2009 we got our brief for the preliminary exercise for the coursework, we are doing video production so we learnt about Continuity and how films are shot so that the video does not look disjointed and broken up. Relating to this we learnt about match-on-action, this is whereby you simply match the shot with the action, For example if you were to film somebody walking into a room, you wouldn't film them walking into the room and then cut to a shot of the person sitting down because the shot does not match the action.
These are examples of poor editing:
Secondly we learnt about different rules when creating a film, we learnt about the 180 degree rule, this is an imaginary line on a set that you do not film on the other side of otherwise the audience would be confused as to where the characters are standing, For example when filming a football match you are only supposed to film on one length of the pitch, if not the audience could become confused as to where each team is supposed to be shooting. In order to understand this fully we created a storyboard and showed the shots that we would like to be taken.
This my story board:
Thirdly we learnt about a shot, reverse shot this is the shots that would be filmed if you were showing a conversion, it is two shots edited together to give a conversational feeling.
Moreover we also learnt about the 30 degree rule this is when you cut to another shot, if the camera has been moved less than 30 degrees it will just look like jumpy editing, so you must always move the camera more than 30 degrees in order to make it clear that it was not a jump cut.
On Friday 02/10/2009 we got the idea of how to use a film camera. We got into groups of two or three and filmed some shots, we had to use many different zooms, our camera also had a manual focus mode so we used that aswel. After we filmed out shots we then uploaded them onto the computer using a program called 'Final Cut Pro.' It was fun and i really enjoyed working with others.
