Story:bored plan of are 2 minute film and Animation


We have chosen to do a teen thriller for our 2 minute film. Me and my group all put ideas together and have chosen the locations and costumes.
We start off externally in the middle of an empty playground with a high angle long shot. The camera then tracks towards the girl still at a high angle, and you start to see that she has blood over her face. It continues to track at a high angle towards the girl, and you can see that she is crying. Were going to use steady-cam to track around the girl. Titles on a black-screen reveal '1 month earlier' . the next shot shows Scarlet in a classroom. A mid close up shot of a teacher teaching his class, up on the board is a mind map with drugs in the middle. The teacher then hears a student whispering, and then calls her name. You then see a shot reverse shot between the teacher and the student.
Hear is an Amimatic of are Storybored, I use photobucket to make it:

Camera Shots, Movement and Angles

The Camrea Work:
Wide Shot
Long Shot
Mid Shot
Medium Close Up
Close Up
Extreme Close Up
High Angle Shot
Low Angle Shot
Aerial Shot
And Two Shot that isn't on the image, Two shot is when you have two people in the shot of the camera.
This is an image of camera shots, movements and angles. I found this very helpful when we were learning about camera movements, shots and angles. I also will find it very helpful when we film our 2 minute film.

My first short film
This is my first short film that me and my team mates did. I really enjoyed the whole experience of the filming, using a film camera, editing and uploading. I was really surprised how long it took to film 2 minutes of a short film. Learning how to use a film camera was really fun, because it means I will be able to use a film camera all by myself. Editing the film was also really fun to work because now I know how long it takes for directors to edit their films (such as harry potter). The whole experience was worth it.

Breaking of the 180 and 30 degree rules
This is the first short film I have ever made, so of course there will be mistakes made. My group broke the 180 degree rule and the 30 degree rule. Next time I make a film I will make shore I do not break the 180 and 30 degree rule. I have enjoyed every minute of this experiance.

Match On Action


Match on action is the cut between two shots that show that no time has passed between
the two shots. It's when you cut the filming during the action and move it to another camera at a different angle, but your still showing the action just at a different angle.
I have put two similar pictures, just to give an idea.
180 degree rule
I found this digram explaining the 180 degree rule. I feel it makes it clear and easy to understand.
This is a diagram of the 180 degree rule. The green oval shows where the camera can go. The line in the middle shows that the camera can not go over the line. If the camera doee go over the middle line in to the red zone, this will mean that you are breaking the 180 degree rule. So always make sure that you are in the green zone. Wednesday, 7 October 2009
Preliminary Task Film Plan 1 (Goodbye my friend) and Animatic
This is my frist animatic which is the storyboard i created for my preliminary task. I used adobe imageready to create the animation. this allows me to see whether or not my piece would cut well together
Here is my aerial plan of how i will shoot my preliminary task. It means i can decide on where the camera is going to be placed as well as know whether or not i am going to be breaking the 180 degree rule.
The brief for the short film that was part of the preliminary exercise involved having a character open a door, walk across a room, sit down in a chair opposite another character and exchange two lines of dialogue. I enjoyed this exercise because now that i know the rules for creating a film text I can begin to produce my own films that will be coherent.
