Filming 29-30/11/11

We filmed again today as well as yesterday, this was because we needed to improve certain shots, one of these shots we to do with the split screen that we have, this was because we needed to zoom in on the face of the people more. Another shots that we needed to re-do was the entering to the building, this was because when we did it the first time it was too dark.

We will edit what we have filmed in the lesson next Tuesday.

First Cut + Feedback


The feedback that we got from Mrs Allison was a lot of what we already knew, such as the shots on the train are unsteady, therefore we will have to re-film them, also the lip syncing on that scene isn't very effective.

A piece of feedback that we didn't already know was we needed more dramatic shots when certain parts of the song come in, such as at the start when the guitar comes in we have an over the shoulder shot, this could be a lot more interesting/dramatic.

We also need to show more skills and techniques with our filming as a lot of what we have doesn't portray a meaning. This is because the skills that we have used aren't hugely different from the work that we did at AS.

The specific points that we needed to improve are;
  • The last shot, this is because the video ends in a fairly boring way.
  • Needs to improve lip syncing, this is because George who is the actor, was a little unsure on the words and didn't use his mouth the emphasise the words, he also forgot to say the name of the song on the train.
  • And we need to build the back story up a bit more as it is weak and doesn't give much information on what's happening and what background the man comes from.

Filming

Today we did some more filming so that we can edit it in tomorrows lesson, we met up after 4th period and went looking for an area to film in, the stuff that we have filmed we intend to use match on action to get it to work nicely and to make the shot more exciting. There was a problem that we had as we tried to use match on action with lip syncing, however I am confident that we can get this to work successfully.
