primary list

Primary settings and character list of our film

We are going to set the beginning of the film at tommy’s house. We will all be round his house playing Xbox his parents are out of town. We will all be talking to each other just the three of us, me, tom c and fearg when things start happening. Tom h will be visible to the audience but not to us which would create some confusion. However then we would have a flashback of tommy dying, which would allow the audience to understand why we are ignoring him because he is actually dead.

preliminary task

PRELIMINARY TASK.


In our preliminary task we used the 180 degree rule where tom filmed me walking from one door to the middle ,then in the next shot he films me walking passed him from the same side of the imaginary line between the camera and myself, this is done so that the audience does not become confused.
we also used a shot reverse shot between me and fearg. we did the to engage the audience in the conversation and allow them to see things from our perspective.
A strength of ours task was our editing between me walking through the library then into the computer room. It was good because the transition was smooth and quick
A weakness was the steadiness of the camera as sometimes it was shaking to resolve this problem we will use a tripod next time.

180 degree rule

The 180 degree rule is where you have a scene, normally you have two actors, you then draw a virtual line threw both of them. you then place the camera on one side and can only move it along the arc. It has to stay on one side as otherwise you may risk making the audience feel lost, as when the camera is on one side and there is a shot reverse shot and there is a conversation taking place it looks like the actors are looking at one another. however you can break the 180 degree rule when the scene requires it. for example when you want to make the audience feel lost, as the character is as well.
