shot list for second shoot;
final shoot;
1) establishing shot of doors, before the camera begins to zoom in.
2) we then see the two characters enter the door, one character behind the other.
3) matron action is shown in this scene as wee see the mother and son character walking through the hallway, the child character is behind the parent.
4) we then see the character in the classroom and we are introduced to the teacher
5) the parent conference conversation uses a shot reverse shot between all characters
6) at the end of the clip we see a fade to black editing technique used, along with a piano instrumental used as non-diegetic sound.
final shoot;
We again faced a few problems along the way with the second and final shot. I admit now that maybe we should have learnt from these problems from the first time, for example, i feel we were quite unprofessional in the first shoot, with a lot of laughing when it should have been acting, for the second shoot, maybe we should have chosen different actors but keep everything else the same. this was a mistake we made again as we wasted a lot of time during the second shoot, shooting the same scenes and the same shots over and over again, it became frustrating at times. Although we improved a lot with using the camera, we didn't have any major problems with setting up the camera and setting up the tripod.

ReplyDeleteA lot of work is to be done in your understanding of how to use the camera to engage the audience and subsequently your shot selection and the reasons for them. I have the sense you have simply pointed the camera to film, instead of pointing the camera to really construct meaning in relation to the plot and story.
You attempt match on action but it is not executed well, and further understanding of this technique is needed. There needs to be more fluidity across the shots to engage the audience into the idea of time passing. Your sense of clipping and timing in the editing process needs a lot more attention to detail to make the sequence seamless. Continuity is lost as you move from characters walking to a shot of the feet which start from a standing position.
There is no actual SRS evident, and this particular technique is one you need to address. Your technical understanding of camera use is in need of a lot of further consideration. SRS is from the POV of each character and not with the character in the middle of the frame not a simple two-shot. Thus it should be shot over the shoulder of the character. 180 degree rule is fine but your planning should try to convey your understanding of this rule better.
