Planning

My group have decided that we want to create a comedic scene, and have chosen to create a piece about a mother talking to her daughter. We think that this is the best way to use the brief because we can make the sequence funny, awkward, dramatic and serious at the same time.


We are now looking at camera angles, and have watched a short clip from The Ring. The 180 degree rule is very important as if you go over the 180 degree line it can confuse the audience and make everything look back to front. The Ring sticks to this rule and has taught me that when creating my clip i should do the same.


Important camera angles we need to remember are:


-Long shot
-Mid shot
-Close up
-Extreme close up


-Canted angle
-High angle
-Low angle
-Crane
-Crabbing
-Panning
-Tilting


We are going to practice these angles with the video camera and upload a video of these soon so that we are prepared and clear for our preliminary film. 

Preliminary Task

For my preliminary task, i am going to be creating a short clip of video. There are three stages we have learnt about when making a film, and these stages are the Pre- Production, Production and Post Production. This is the planning, making and editing of the film.


My brief is: "Someone walks in to a room, and sits down opposite another character". We can interpret this in anyway, and my group have thought of several ideas already:


-Police interrigation
-Mother and daughter chat
-Job interview
-Friends chatting at a cafe
