2nd Editing Session

During the second editing session Ross and myself finished the ident for our thriller opening, while Barbara and Ausrine added the scenes that we recorded on thursday to the opening of the thriller. 

2nd Filming Session

During the 2nd filming session we came across a problem which in-tailed our group needing a teacher to be in the room while we film. However we sorted this out by filing a different scene, filming this session was a success as we got the whole scene done.  

1st Editing Session

This editing session has taken place during our media lesson monday first period. 

1st Filming Session

In our first filming session that took place on the 15th of january on a Thursday, we went to or local park and started filming one of the scenes in the opening of our thriller. In this scene the characters being filmed were Barbara and myself character's. This session did not turn out to well as someone had forgotten there costume and we hadn't exchanged numbers so we couldn't tell what time we were meeting for the 1st filming session, from this we have learnt from our mistakes.

Preliminary Evaluation

The story that we were trying to tell in the preliminary task, is just a short one, as a group we were mainly concentrating on getting the list of shots that were required to complete the preliminary task. The shots that had to be included were, match on action, eye-line match and shot reverse shot, as well as this we wasn't aloud to break the 180 degree rule. In this short film though the story we was trying to tell was one where a students give another student a pencil at a certain time. I believe that we included all that was needed in the video;

Match on action:
The match on action happens around 9 seconds into the video, we set the camera up on on side of a door and I walked through, we then did the same thing however the camera was set up on the other side of the door. In the editing we then put the two scenes together to produce the match on action.

Eye-line match:
This happens 16 into the clip, with this scene I feel that we could have done it better by getting the eye-line match more face on with ross. However even without the camera being face on, i still feel that the eye-line has the same effect achieves what it needs to.

Shot reverse shot:
The shot reverse shot takes place 19 seconds into the preliminary video, with this shot i believe that we achieved it very well,  as it just flowed into the scene.

As well as the match on action and eye line match that i mentioned there are other match on actions and eye line matches that we did. For example there is the the eye line match that is at the beginning where i look at the time then the camera points to my eyes. As well as the match on action through the door there is the one where i am walking down the stairs.

Preliminary Work

This is the video of our preliminary task that we did for our AS Media class.
