What I Did
The first thing I did was to look at the brief, the brief instructed that we include a match on action, over shoulder reverse shot and 180 degree rule. I decided to create a story board showing the positions and actions of the characters. I also included what angle shots I would be using. But within the group, we decided to go with Jemma’s storyboard out of a choice of three.
We filmed it during our 2 hour media lesson on Tuesday, therefore we were rushed in the completion of it. I worked as one of the characters, Jemma was the director because she is good with cameras and she was positive about the angle shots we had to put in and Safina was the other character. During the filming we had to stop quite a lot, firstly because none of us are trained or professional actors, and nerves got the better of all of us. Usually trying to control our laughter at the mistakes made either by running into a shot too early or forgetting our lines, Secondly we had people walking into camera shots, which further delayed filming time.
After the filming Jemma and I edited the movie, unfortunately Safina was unable to do the editing with us because her time table was not convenient. First we uploaded the clips to the Mac laptop and opened it with iMovie 11. Next we decided on what should be cut and what should stay, as this was our first attempt to edit a movie, in our enthusiasm the graphics and the music which we put in initially was not appropriate. We were advised to get rid of them as they were considered unauthentic and didn’t suit the ‘match on action’ and also drowned out the dialogue. After getting the scenes as we wanted, we then prepared the credits as well as the music following it. There were final checks, before being uploaded onto our own blogs.
