Explanation of my idea

During this week i have been creating a story board which has drawings to help me to plan and know what will take place in my 'encounter' media filming. The drawings will explain what will take place in each scene and what the camera angles, lighting,camera shots, sounds and the duration of the scenes. The story board explains my idea for the 'encounter' piece. My piece is on kesean going into Billy's house and stealing his watch. This week in my group we ( Jamie, kesean and I) have been planning our 'encounter' which will soon be filmed. On Wednesday we started drawing on our story boards for what will take place but before we began drawing me jotted down every scene and cut scene that will take place. The drawing have been fine lined so they stand out and explain what is taking place in each scene.
The camera techniques used was close ups to show facial expressions and the mid shots were used to get actions to gather more information. Long shots and established shots help show the surroundings. The other techniques used were 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot and rule of thirds.
The editing techniques planned to be used was a fade for the establishment shot and to to fade out at the end. Quick cuts were planned to be used to keep the viewers interested, the shots vary from my story board in the shot duration. The short cuts will interest the viewer more.

Edit workshop evaluation

The camera techniques used was the 180 degree rule and this when the characters are on the same side of the camera no matter where you move when filming as long as you do not pass the line at which is in the middle. The 'shot' reverse 'shot' rule is when a conversation is included when the shots go either side of the over the persons shoulder to show the other person talking to them. The rule of thirds is ensuring that the persons eye are always a third down the street. These rules are essential for getting a good recording.

This is the 180degree rule shown in the video where the camera doesn't pass the 180 degree line to show the person will always stay on the same side..

This shows the rule of thirds from Chloe's eyes being a third down the screen.

This is a shot that has been taken this is taken.

This is the reverse shot from the original shot 

This is where the shot has gone back form the shot reverse shot.

The were different challenges found when filming but the lighting was a small problem so not all of the footage was clear also the filming took place at a different house so there wasn't a door handle/ knob to turn so we had to use keys. The thing i would change when filming again would be the house and the noise around where the filming took place and last of all ensuring that there is a door handle/knob. I would also change the time of day to set the scene a lot of better to create a more tense and suspicious atmosphere.
If i were to edit again I'd ensure that my shots and the techniques used are in the right places and are shown in the best way possible. I could have added effects to make the production more interesting to draw the view in to the short encounter more.
The opportunity to change things for the recording would be god as the mistakes made could be improved to show a better quality and performance to the video for a chance to adjust things from before. I would also change the length of the clips so the next time i would over film so i get more footage in-case there is an error with the just the normal footage.
The strength of my work was being able to film all the shots in one day and complete them during editing. While editing the match on action was a good strength as it seemed to have been completed very well. My creativity was a strength as i placed the camera n the floor to look at my feet walk passed as if to say i was really there. The digital software i movie helped me improve my overall film as it enabled me to edit and cut part of excess footage out that wasn't needed which helped improve my encounter production to also show strengths in my work.

This shows my feet walking passed the camera on the floor.

The last image on the storyboard matches the image above my feet walking passed the camera on the floor.

During post production i had planned to have complete all the shots that were on my story board so that they would make sense and help the film follow on. I had planned to use different techniques and cuts and effects to improve the video.
I was creative through putting the camera on the floor watching me walk passed however my creativity could have gone further by thinking out of the box with the thoughts for what was going on during the encounter. I could have furthered my creativity when editing the film during my workshop session.
The overall weakness of my work was shown in the shots were i hadn't over filmed and where at time the shot reverse shot had failed so part of the conversation where it was filmed form my shoulder of me talking cause not enough footage was over filmed to be able to catch all the what was going on. Another weakness to my work was the story boarding as not all the shots from on the story board was been able to be shot during the filming, the character in the film was also changed from a boy to a girl and this meant the dialogue had to be changed to now suit that situation.

This shows where some  of the filming had gone wrong as some of it was not fully filmed.

This shows where i was talking but the shot wasn't able to be taken from over Chloe's shoulder as not all of that had been filmed.

To improve my work overall I'd begin to over film shots so i can edit them further and to also add effects to set the scene and atmosphere better in the video. To show an improvement i my work i would ensure all the shots taken have been over filmed so there is extra footage to be edited or change if needed. I would also add music to change the atmosphere and add more shots to make the film a little  bit longer so the production doesn't just end so soon.

My Summer

MY SUMMER

FILM:

The first part of the media i had enjoyed during summer was a film called "A haunted house". This is one of the funniest films iv'e seen. Marlon Wayans is an actor in the film who has been haunted a ghost for a long time, a doll who his girlfriend brings with her to the house they move into then becomes sexually attracted to Marlon Wayans. I like the fact that the doll keeps coming back into his life no matter what he does to get rid of her, he buried her, burnt her,sent her away but yet she still came back to torment him. The possessed  doll kept leaving "miss me" messages on the wall in his room and on his car. This all happens because of his ex-girlfriend who was haunted and possessed by a ghost. This film is a continuation from the first 'A haunted house' where an evil spirit was yet again possessing in his life then.

This is one of my favourite parts of the film where marlon wayan gets sexually attracted to the doll and sleep with her however at this time he doesn't know the doll is possessed with an evil spirit.

<<This is the film trailer which briefly explains what will happen throughout the film.

This will be one of the best films that I have ever watched because it had my eye glued to the screen throughout watching the whole film. I laughed throughout the whole film and it was one of the best media films I would have ever seen.

Songs:

I chose this song because it was the song i heard a lot throughout and it made me feel happy at time when i heard it. This song was played a lot when i was on holiday in Turkey and in England.

I liked this song because it is catchy and I like the overall melody and sound of the piece it grabs my  attention as the listener. This song was played very frequently throughout my summer it was another popular song that I heard.

TV:

The TV program me I watched most watched was the Simpsons.I enjoyed watched the Simpsons because its funny i enjoy watching all the episodes because I laugh at all of them. The Simpsons is a comedy cartoon for adults and young children some parts can be rude and disturbing but at times can be very funny.This is the I Simpsons family. The Simpsons makes me laugh because of the jokes and they way the characters act throughout the TV show.

Family guy was another TV show that i enjoyed watching because it was a programme that would have me laughing throughout and I find the overall programme enjoyable.





WEBSITES:
The one main website I used was face book and this was used mainly so I could keep in contact with my friends and family. On Facebook there are funny videos that relate to the media that I enjoy watching to keep me entertained. I mostly used Facebook when I was on holiday so that I could still talk to people. Facebook is a good media social website because you can share about your life and how you are with others and share things that you would want to share.

ummmm
