Target 2 - November

1) To learn and revise key terms for media studies
2) To give more specific examples when evaluating my work

Prelim Editing

1) I was absent during the editing

2) We made sure we meat the brief by demonstrating the two rules, which is the 180 degree rule and the match on action rule we done this by making sure that for the 180 degree rule we only shoot the scene from on side of the room (like a half circle) and also by using over the shoulder shoot to film the conversation in the scene and we also demonstrated the match on action rule by making sure that all of the filming went in a sequence like pulling out the chair in the scene before sitting on it, which is an example of match on action and as well as that we also stayed on the storyline and  used the story board sheet to help us to film the scene correctly.

3) I think that our group worked really well during the filming and planning process and thats what was one of the things that worked really well because we worked together and shared our ideas and we listened to each other and got on with the work. However we did have some problem with the camera’s sound and not having members of our team around for the filming and the editing but we all worked together as a group to solve those problems in the correct manner and we also worked really well during the plan and put a lot of work and detail in it which help us to avoid any silly mistakes

Target 1 - September

1)To go in to detail and depth when explain my work.

prelim group 3

Preilm filming

A) We decided to use our location because we need a place that looked formal and with good lighting so we decide to choose that location so that it meat our equipment.

b)we made sure to film the two rules by making sure we film on one side of the room and we also used a range of techniques like high angle shoots, flat angle birds view, establishing shoot, shot reverse shoot etc and we made dare that our scene was match on action as well for example when we were filming we released that we missed a bit and we had to film the police offer standing up before he sat down this was to help meat the rule of match on action.

c)we did this by changing a couple of the roles because we realised that one of the actors was better suited to be a police because of the way they were dressed and because they fitted the role better and we also discovered that the camera had no sound so we had to fix it a rework the scenes to make sure that it worked as well.

Script

(Man in police cap pulls the chair out  this is our match on action shot because the next time we see him he  bangs the table )

(this is were we are going to use the over the shoulder shot we are going to have the man in cuffs in the chair with the camera looking up and the prision guard as he bangs the table the. the prison guard looking at the man in cuffs)

Prision officer:  I want some fucking answers steve

Steve : no comment

Prison officer: your facing a long time inside steve if you don’t talk

Steve: no comment

Prison officer: I know you done it steve

Steve: no comment

Prison officer: Think of that poor innocent child

(See a tear roll down steves face)

Prison officer : come on steve we all know

(Steave stands up and shouts)

Prelim Task

a) What the prelim will entail?
The Prelim task that we did was of someone entering a room by using the door handle and coming in to sit down and one other person will already be in the room so the scene will be about the two characters and they will have a conversation around a table which will last about 30 seconds

b) What the two rules you must demonstrate means?
The two rules that we had to demonstrate were the 180 degree rule and the match on action rule. The 180 degree rule is that the camera can move anywhere within the half circle but shouldn't go across the other side of the circle as it could confuse the audience. The Match-on-action is a technique that helps to hide the cuts since the viewers are paying attention to the action rather than the editing so it means the viewers are not really aware of the editing.  

c) A summary of your initial idea?

Our idea was of a criminal and a police officer in a police interview interrogation and the police offer is trying to get information out of the criminal to prove that he is guilty of the crime. The criminal tries to refuse charges by saying no comment
