The sequence begins with the company logo and identity. The first shot cuts straight into shaun where he is in the pub. The opening shot uses a close up of shaun. Over the shoulder shots are used after that to represent the conversation that is going on. The camera then cuts to
For the opening of our film we are trying to make an enigma so that people would want to see the full film. For the first shot we have our company logo and identity, then we have some film which have the credits over the screen as the sequencing shots are being taken.
At the beginning of the Sepuence there is a weather shot to show the background and the feather floating down from the sky. The feather could resemble something which is of great importance later in the film. The camera is tracking the feathers every move which shows the importance of the feather. As the sequence goes on the credits appear, they fade in and fade out. The feather floats down just infront of Forrest and thats where the story begins. The titles are shown during this sequence. The titles show who the director and producer is and the main actor aswell. The title of the film comes up aswell.
This is our preliminary film which we made during lesson time. This video includes a wide variety ofg shots to try and maker it look preofessional. The good points about the movie is the variety of shots and the editing looks pretty good. There main bad point is the dialogue, the sound isn’t very clear, we should have filmed the dialogue part again to make it look better and to make it more professional. We used an establisher at the beginning of the movie to show the place where it was being filmed at. We used close-ups, medium shots, long shots, over the sahoulder shots, shot reverse shot. The shot reverse shot is where the dialogue is being taken place. We also tried to stick to the 180 degree rule so the shots didn’t look different. We followed to the brief to make it look better. We also had to film again because we had Tim to be walking down the hallway and getting the briefcase, but he wasn’t in one lesson so we refilmed it with Tom being the person who recieved the briefcase.
They use a wide variety of shots. They first use an establshing shot of the place. They use close-ups and extreme close-ups for when they either open the door or close the door. They use an over the shoulder shot when there is dialogue. The framing is good but i think it could be better by either cropping the top to have his head tight against the top of the frame or use the camera and use the zoom lens to see if the framing is good.
For the preliminary exercisem, we have to produce an opening shot of a movie. The exam board requires we create this exercise so that we have a starting point to work from before we actually start filming.
Planning and Research
20% of the coursework is for this part. The storyboard we have to create has to be an animatic storyboard, We need to blog the research. The research includes the research of the openings of films with the same genre that we want to follow. We also need to research the conventions of any opening sequence. E.g. Titles or job titles are examples of what you need to include in your piece of work.
Film
This part is the most important part of the coursework. While we are filming we have to think about editing. We have to produce an opening sequence and we need to think about the use of mis-en-scene, e.g. the camerawork (the shots and composition), The sound (wether it is non-diegetic, diegetic or wether the sound levels are too high) and lighting (is the scene too bright or too dark?)
Evaluation
This part is worth another 20% of the marks and it cannot be an essay. It has to be a multimedia presentation. We need to include things like screenshots of the film, audio (which could be talking to the media teacher about the film) or it could be a powerpoint presentation.
There are a various amount and different types of tools when on premiere. These tools are
Selection tool = The default tool, used to select clips in the timeline.
Track Select tool = Select all clips on a track from a given point, or select multiple tracks.
Rolling Edit tool = Adjust an edit point between two clips without affecting the rest of the timeline.
There are other tools in premier which are of much use which include. Rate tool, slip tool, slide tool, pen tool, hand tool and the zoom tool
The workspace on premiere is divided into five panels:
The editing part of a film or sequence is one of the most important parts of the production work. You need to know where to put different pieces of go where. The software that is used to do this is called Adobe premier. This software can be used by anyone, whether they dont have experience or they have a lot of experience. Like mot editing software you need to have the file you want to edit on yout computer and then import it into premier. Premiere is a powerful editing tool, capable of producing broadcast-quality and high-definition video. It is a very popular package amongst video enthusiasts and professionals, although other packages are usually preferred for the very top level of television production. There are some down signs to premier.
Adobe Premiere has been around for a long time and enjoys a very stable user base. It is a solid, professional-level application which will be more than adequate for most editing situations.
Editing is key to creating a piece of work that fits together. People use editing because they can’t film in two places at once. So they film one piece of footage and then the other and make it look as if it goes from one scene to the other smoothly. It is also essential to do the camera shots in one place, e.g. When you do an over the shoulder shot then go look over the other shoulder, this wouldn’t look very professional or right.
These are a few terms of what editing and what it means.
