Evaluation

Well my Project of Put into Perspective could have gone better I don't think that is my worst work but there maybe a lack of action and this was due to just being really busy with assessment weeks and not getting time to shot anything properly I also really need to find an acting crew to be able to have multiple characters not that I am unhappy with my acting crew as they stand now. I also think that maybe the music which is the song Alison by Costello added a little to much of a cheesy aspect to the film. I think that the main thing with this project is that I didn't have enough inspiration for what to make the film about which made the film seem just really basic. Will work on this for next time ...

No longer 20 seconds

I have at least managed to edit the film so that it is longer than 20 seconds which I am please about.

Rough Cut - Suggestions ??

This is my film it is kind of a rough cut of it if there are any suggestions on how to change it to make it better I would appreciate it. Also please excues the cheesy nature of the song which is Alison by Costello. I have not stuck to the idea of having the film be from the dog's perspective so it is just a really basic film that I used to try and encapsulate the main critera.

Potential Rough Cut

Yet Another Problem

The film so far only lasts 20 seconds so it is VERY IMPORTANT  to make it last longer than that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shot by Shot

Shot by shot: Sunday Night filming

In this session I shot

Man walking through the Hallway X2 I used one of these because it was the best way to show the man walking in but I did shorten it down so that it is only a couple sections long and I added a title to this shot

Man opening door X2 I used on of these shots and shortened it down to show the man opening the door

Man walking in to the new room X2 I only used a very few seconds of this shot as there was a huge continuity error in it that made the scene one that would have been hard to use  

Dog Sleeping X2 I haven’t used any of this yet but I might still use it…

Plan number 2

Plan:

Sunday’s Task	To film the man walking into the room and also the door scene which is what the scene needs to prove the continuity
Monday’s Editing Session	To edit the pieces that have just been filmed and focus on what needs to be done to have the task complete by Friday

 

Something to Consider

 

Well I have now been able to add a tint to my film right on the last shot which I think makes it appear to be incredibly dramatic and adds a huge form of mystery to the shot.  What needs to be done now is to just reshoot some of the other shots to make sure the theme of the continuity is constant and then I need to decide what kind of music I would like to have in the opening of the film. Another issue is to consider whether or not I should still try to have the dog’s perspective idea or whether this task would be better as simply a conversation between two people with an air of mystery surrounding them.

Reminder

The scene where the man is walking through the door into the room needs to be changed because it looks like the man walks in and then is suddenly sitting down need the continuity of the man going to the chair and then sitting down more slowly....

More Editing Errors

Well it would be an understatement if I said this was not a complete learning experience and that there seems to be a problem in a lot of different turns. For example in the room that I was shooting in I realized there had been a poster recently hung up and it was hung on a wall that had previously been empty so that means that I have this poster randomly appear in the shot so there might need to be a reshoot of that particular shot. Ahhh

Filming Complete

The filming is looking like it's made really good progress and I have plenty to work with I have really concentrated on keeping the 180 degree rule and it has been quite a challenge but my main aim was to keep it in this project as I got caught out in my last project because of the rule. So hopefully I will have plenty of editing to keep me busy and then you should expect the finished project by Friday if all goes well more to follow .....

How to Continue

What needs to happen now is that I need to shoot the rest of my scene and get together with the actors to work on this also I need to figure out exactly how I want to edit it so the plan is to film over the weekend and then  I will need to focus on the editing next week.

Another Note to Self

For this project you need to figure out how to tint the colour of the film because it will really help with the effect you are trying to create but it is not happening yet ....

More to follow.....

Note to Self

In the clip of film that you are currently editing your actor says how was Nancy and then the reply was HE was feeling better so that needs to be changed ahhh

Editing Session 1

Unfortunately after the first session of editing I am a little disappointed with the result but I think that it will get better in the next session. (or at least I hope so)

Editing Problems

Well already with my editing I can tell that there are already issues.

One is that during one of my actors speeches there is the sound of a dog shaking it’s head in the background now this isn’t terrible because there is the idea that the film is from the dog’s perspective but it is the fact that then one of my actors has to look over at where the noise is coming from which ruins the illusion.

How things are getting on ....

Last night I started shooting some of the scenes that I will hope to use on this task and I am just going to spend some time editing them in now.

Change of Plan

Actor	Date	Time
Andrew Wade	November 9th 2012	19:00
Lindsey Wade	November 9th 2012	19:00

 Here is my cast list for this film...

Idea:

This is yet another idea which is a little more Avant garde than most of my other projects. The idea I had was to have the camera set up in a kind of high angle shot to show the image as if someone was looking up at the characters. The film is about what it would be like to see from a dog’s point of view so we will see how things go with this idea…

Proto Type of Call Sheet

 

Actor	Date	Time

Another Idea

Idea:

The new idea that I have come up with is that I would have another kind of sitcom style setting and set up for my continuity project. I thought that I would have a teacher talking to different students at different times and they would all have different personalities.  I think that I would have shots of the teacher walking round the school with different emotions  on their face but mainly pensive faces and then have just really basic titles on the bottom of the screen. So we will see how I get on…

Next Task

For this next task we were given only a very brief amount of information on what the scene had to include which is causing problems for me because i have no idea about what i am going to do...
