Production Schedule...

This is the schedule for the production of our movie opening. This schedule will help us stay on track with our filming and aid us in completing our task. We have set realistic targets for our filming and have allowed enough time to be able to film fundamental footage for our film opening. 

Samiie, Levinia & Nasema's Animatic The Forgotten

Preliminary task; First Version

This video was initially for our preliminary task although it looks great and has been edited quite well it does not include all the needed shots for the task therefore we decided to re-shoot and re-do our filming and have another attempt at the preliminary task. We will update our blogs with the second attempt at the preliminary task which should evidentially be better and include the necessary shots to complete the task.

Preliminary task

For our preliminary task we will be incorporating many different types of shot such as...

• Match on action
• Shot reverse shot
• 180 degree rule

Our plot is..
Levinia is running from a mystery character this is were we use a 'Match on Action' shot which is basically a shot from the front and the back, she is then looking for somewhere to hide and is running towards a door in this scene we will use a close up shot of the door handle once she has walked through the door we will use a 'Match on Action', following close behind her will be the mystery character who is a murderer, in this scene we will use a shot reverse shot; this is where we see the same scene from two different perspectives, one frame will be shown from Levinias side and the other from the murders. following this the murder will say a dialogue then there will be a blackout and finally the credits. Our preliminary task will be edited in the Mac suite using a software called 'Final Cut'.

Continuity Editing...

Continuity editing is basically when seperate frames have been put together to form a selection of scenes, however they have to run smoothly to establish a logical coherence between frames.

• Temperal editing is a skill that allows you to control the time of a scene or frame, editing also makes order, duration and frequency. different types of temperal editing are Elliptical editing and Overlapping editing. Elliptical editing is when a shot has been shown in a way were it takes less time on the screen then it does in the actual story. Overlapping editing is used to expand and prolong the duration of the shot this may include zooming in very slowly to exaggerate a situation.

• Spactial editing aims mainly on the people and location in the movie. Different forms of spatial editing are the180 degree rule and shot/reverse shot. The 180 degree rule is basically a 180 degree line where the camera must stay for the audience to understand where the characters are. Shot reverse shot is the same frame from two different perspectives for example if there are two people in a scene and the camera is facing one of the characters then the frame is cut and there is another shot facing the other character the audience will instantly assume that the characters are facing one another.
