Filming practice

This October our media group went to a green-screen studio to shoot scenes for a very short movie where we were completely responsible for all filming and planning and acting and directing. This is a summary of the trip (including a few trips from myself for the next time).

Planning and Planning sheets:

• So a few days before we went to the studio we worked well as a group to think of ideas of the plot for our film. We decided upon making it a parody horror movie but make it completely ridiculous on purpose.
• Now onto the planning we were all responsible for for 2 scenes each that we were completely responsible for and we had to provide a complete call sheet for these scenes and few people hadn't done that which made some problems arise since they weren't prepared.
• However we still managed to fix these issues and organise everything again quickly.
• We lacked an extensive prop list, however we all wrote down what we needed to bring which we thought would be a be better way.

Directing:

• Since we all had 2 scenes we were completely responsible for it also meant we had to direct these scenes and that wasn't always the smoothest.
• And to be an effective director you have to give clear instructions. this is important so the actors and camera men know what do do or what to film in that exact moment.
• Also you have to make sure you film the same action with numerous angles and takes so you get more footage to choose from when editing

Cinematography:

• We took a lot of coverage shots as backup in case woe didn't film what we wanted for the scenes where we didn't have the completed call sheets.
• We could've tried to  tried using manual focus but its out of our skill range at the moment.

5 tips:

1. Take lots of different shots
2. Dont waste time
3. Make sure everyone knows what must be done
4. Drink water (to clear your mind)
5. Have fun!

10 points about a past coursework

So for this I will be giving points from Evie's Slaughter Revenge.
...

...

1. You must create your own company idents and Evie's idents are very realistic and look authentic and I feel like I will want to do something fairly similar like the modern slightly Sci-Fi.
2. Her last ident had a diegetic audio bridge which is very common in horror movies.
3. In the very first part of the actual film she has a chase scene and the short cuts are used to show that it is a very intense chase scene. 
4. It then cuts to a pretty obvious greenscreen but its to show a movie is being filmed and it has been done by putting on a filter.
5. After a while it cuts back and forth from what seems to be the victim and then someone tied up
6. A GoPro has been used for a kind of first person view. 
7. She has used a dutch angle to suggest something is off but also add to the suspense she has created with quick shots and suspensful music and creepy sound effects
8. She has used effects that connote horror e.g. red colour, looks like blood when she announces all the names and companies in the beginning to create verisimilitude.
9. She uses candle to create a more creepy feeling and adds to natural lighting.

Shot by shot denotation

This is the video we denotated shot by shot.

...
So for this video we divided the video into 3 and we all took 40 seconds each and denotated the shots in the part we had assigned to us. I had the middle section from around 1:07 to 1:47.
