Scream School
Pre Production:
We were given four lessons to plan, produce and edit our one minute clip
so we very quickly decided that the genre of our film would be a horror based
around a murder mystery.
We then created a story board with the key scenes in the clip and
allocated who would play each part and who would film; a script was
not necessary as we didn't want much dialogue so that
the scream would stand out.
Hannah and I then went to find a location and we ended up
using the music block as it was quiet and easily accessible. It also
gave us control over empty rooms so we could play around with the
lighting.
Production:
We were only given a short time so had to adapt to the camera quickly.
Etienne was the camera man.
As a group we decided it would be best to not use the tripod and have
the camera being held by hand following us through the action. This
allowed the audience to be placed in the action and feel more involved.
Post Production:
All four of us had a go at editing the footage using final cut pro. It
was our first time using the software however we still managed to finish
editing it.
We trimmed the footage, cut out sound, added music, transitions and a
black and white effect to fit the genre of the film.
We finished the post production prosess by uploading the footage onto
YouTube through Hannah's channel.
My Reflection:
W W W: The
hand held camera work went well with the genre of the film and helped
the audience fee involved. Also we were all able to use final cut pro
and use various techniques such as transitions.
E B I: There
was a slow pace start to our one minute film
clip which would perhaps work better at the beginning of a
film rather than in the middle of a film.
