Preliminary Task 1 final

This is the final edit of my original preliminary task. Its is rushed and poor quality but it is what iv'e done to ease myself into filming and become more cumfortable with a standard camera shot and the 180 degree rule. I have also used 'match on action' to create a smooth, naturalistic movement of the character walking through the door. In my first shot I was outside filming the character walking into the building and through the door. The second shot is from within the building at an angle i thought was appropriate to film from as the viewer can see the environment (classroom) and can see the character progression through the room. I combined the two shots and cut out irrelevant noises using iMovie. 

Preliminary Task 2

For the second, and better, preliminary task I am going to film an anxious teenager waiting at home for her boyfriend to tell him she has recently found out she is pregnant. It all looks very serious at the beginning. We can tell she is nervous waiting, until everything becomes strange and surreal when the doors the boyfriend is travelling through take him to random locations he doesn't want to go to. The doors are portals and as he starts of confused, it soon turns to anger as he can never manage to end up in the right place.

POSSIBLE LOCATIONS:

Swimming Pool
Library
Roof
Park
Museum
Restaurant
Bar
House Party

Shot reverse shot

This shot reverse shot technique is taken out of a movie. Skip to 60 seconds for the above ^^




This is a talk through of  shot reverse shot and how it can be used in films to create a sense of conversation. Although it's not very serious its a good example.

The 180 degree rule

This explains the 180 degree rule and what the effect is when it is broken. Sometimes directors break the 180 degree rule to confuse the audience.

Usually in a film after 15 minutes there will be a point of attack. This is when an event will happen and set a journey that the rest of the film will follow.
