Final Prisioner clip

This is our final piece for the prisioner project, we worked well together as team and we found the camera easier to use after the other tasks we have done. We included the different camera shots we had learnt to try and make it seem like a better trailor, we found the best possible location which we thought would match the script we were using. We didnt have a lot of problems while filming the only problems we had were the background noise which we tried to hide with music. The problems we had with the editing software was that it kept freezing and we would have to close the programme and sometimes we would lose the work we had just done, we also didnt have sound for a few lessons as we didnt realise what the problem was. We finally sorted the sound out and added music which was the foo fighters 'all my life', we thought this fitted the script well as its quite rocky and it makes you think what is going to happen next in the scene, we also learnt how to make the music volume lower when the scene had speaking in it, we thought this was effective as we could still hear the music in the background but could hear the speaking very well. We added different transitions to make it look proffessional, we added slow motion to several bits as we thought it fitted well to the bit on the trailor.

Filming

We filmed on tuesday and we found it quite easy to film with the camera and to use the different angles we had been told to use. We used a location which we thought would be suitable to match the script and we dressed the characters up so they would match what they had to say. We found it difficult to do one shot perfect as the actors we used would laugh or the camera would maybe move, so we would have to take another shot again. We also found the sound difficult too because the camera would pick any background sound up before the speaking so the actors would have to speak up.

Script

This is the script we have to use when filming our narrative film, we have to find a good location which matches the script and also think about what the characters will be like when they are reading the lines from the script.

Shot Project by Sarah, Louise and Kelly

We went and shot different camera shots around the school site. We did camera shots such as close up,extreme close up, zoom, low angle shot. We found it quite difficult to use the camera for the first time, we found it difficult at first to edit the shots and we didnt include alot of transitions and text on it. We learnt for our next task to use more transitions. When filming our shots the challenges we found were that the wind would move the tripod and that students would walk through our shot. All three of us filmed atleast one shot to give us more experience with the camera for other tasks when we did it we also all had a go at editing so we knew how to work it. We decided to not put sound on our film as the wind and the voices in the background ruined it.

Camera Movement by Sarah and Catherine

This is our camera movement video. We had more experience of what to do from our previous task so we learnt what was going to be our problems with filming outside, the outside noise was one of the only problems we had with our filming. We played around with the editing of our shots and used different transitions to our first video, we also added different effects to some of our clips. We found this task easier as we knew more about the camera and more about the editing which helped up when using the programme and we both had a go at filming the different camera movements and editing different shots.
