premilinary task- research and planning

story board

we use the story board to plan preliminary task. we had a box which we used to draw out an image which we was going to record. we showed different angle shots on each drawing and below that box we wrote out how long that shot was going to last for. It then contained more boxes which we would included the dialogue for each section, the sound and which angle we chose to use in that part. we showed a variety of angles throughout and allowed a good amount of time to show it.
we did very well with chosing the right angle for certain shots.
we started off with a story board located in the art department but came to realise that it wasnt effective and wouldnt work well so we scrapped that and decided to choose a different location where we could expand the angles more.

film diary

 we decided to set the task in st johns as there were many levels that we could use. we started off with a middle shot of me walking towards the camera in a corridor approaching the lift. that was recorded for about 8 seconds then we stopped the recording and chose a close up shot of me pressing the button on the lift this gave effect and focus on the subject,that was recorded for about 4 seconds.
The camera was then located inside the lift as I entered the lift this showed 180 degree rule, then it was then moved over to over shoulder shot of me in the lift then moving out the lift. The camera was stopped and then started again of what me walk out of the lift from infront of me so i was walking towards the camera. this gave a vibe of a presence watching me. We deicded to use a high angle shot in view of a cctv camera which gave it more interest and better appearance,this gave great effect.
CCTV camera was filmed for about 8 seconds which then was changed to a middle angle shot of me opening the door and entering. The camera gave an appearance of me walking past it as i carry on to the second door which we use the same angle and stay on the same side to stick to the 180 degree rule. The camera is shown to be infront of me so i am walking towards the camera but at the end up walk straight past the camera instead. The low angle shot has been chosen for the next shot as it watched me walked down the steps gradually moving closer. Then the camera moved to a middle angle shot watching me sit down. Then the camera moved in seconds to over my shoulder while you watched Charlotte walked down the stair then we should the 180 rule through the discussion as I spoke it was be shown from over Charlotte shoulder and over my shoulder when she replied. This went on for some time until the conversation was finished as you watched Charlotte
Storm of you stay a distance still looking over my shoulder and when she leave through the door to give it affect the camera appears on the other side watching her come out and storm past the camera Down the corridor I think that it worked very effectively had to give it some takes to make sure that we stuck to the 180 rule.

editing

we went on to adobe premiere elements 10 and began to edit our footage our final footage had 3 minutes as we had made some errors which we were going to cut, it took an hour or so to sort it out, we removed the extra parts that werent needed and made sure that each section carried on exactly in the following shot we managed to reduce it to approxiametly 1 minute and 35 seconds. we then added a edit that made the shot with the cctv camera look like a cctv camera which worked very effectively. we made the video a lot more smooth by  making the shots flow together and transition better.
