ACCOUNT OF SHOOTING PRELIMINARY TASK
We filmed in the old editing room. This worked incredibley well for our location because of the entrance door, and the 180 degree rule was easily obeyed due to the parellel wall perpendicular to the camera. Although we initially were sceptical about the location due to the lack of reality of the room in relation to the script, and also the initial lighting of the room was generally quite ambiguous to the connection of the script. Filming was a task in which we all took a share in being a part of. The three of us all equally took turns in the production of our sequence and in doing so, we all took away quite alot from the production. In the production pattern - Bella, Laura and I all actively particpated in the shooting of the sequences and the direction of the camera angles and movements.
We had hard lighting affects in our location to focus the attention on the characters and to emphasise the camera angles and shots. Our lighting allowed us to experiment with shots, and sharp angles that defined the roles of the characters. The two characters were headlined with two main spot lights.
Camera Settings-
-Focus- Ensuring we had a clear shot.
-DBS set to 0 to ensure the correct lighting.
-Shutter speed.
-Aperature of 2.8
Tripod-
-We had to bubble the camera and ensure that the tripod was not casting shadows within the frame.
Lighting -
-We had to ensure that the lighting was the same in every shot, so that when edited the sequence was not broken by awkward changes in light settings.
Camera Angles-
1. Our first creative shot was of Actor A's mouth, This displayed a scence of authority with in the roll of the two actors and also portayed a domineering part in the success of the role suggestion.
2. Shooting A at a low angle and B at a high angle, forces the audience to make the contrast between the powerful A and the inncoence of B.
Planning-
In the planning of our production we made sure that we shot all of the same angles through the same shot to avoid camera hassle and issues with tripod set up, and also to sustain the exact same camera shot in every similar angle.
Team Work-
To ensure that everyone was working in accordance with each other, we utalized the phrases of 'STANDBY, ROLLING AND ACTION' to keep everyone on thier toes and keep everyone involved in the production.
In conclution one can summate that the preliminary work taught us that the direction in a production is one of the most imperative keys to success. It also gave us a snippet into reality, and into how a production is actually formed and assembled. It opened my eyes to the realities of a film production and the genuine hard work and focus it takes to sustain a quality sequence.
INTRODUCTION TO USING FINAL CUT PRO
Final Cut Pro is a non-linear, professional, editing software application developed by Apple Inc. Therefore, The software logs and captures video onto a hard drive, where it can be edited and processed. The work must be checked in and out at your liesure, to ensure the protection and conservation of the editing process you are engaging in.
Within Final Cut Pro you create a Log Bin, which allows you to select the shots in the sequence that were unecessary for your final compilation of the sequence. Once all shots were chosen we then continued to process them through and allocate them slots on the timeline. The timeline allows the sequence to be fluid, and also sustains the appropriate music underneath the camera shot sequence.
