THE CONFESSION
PRELIMINARY TASK:
- We were given 30 minutes to come up with an initial idea and concept for our Preliminary film.
- The brief we were given included; a character opening a door, walking across a room, sitting down in a chair opposite another character, and exchanges two sentences of conversation.
- We decided that our initial concept would be a police interview, as we felt it could meet the brief we were given, effectively.
- We also came up with our genre being a thriller and therefore chose a location based upon our initial concept and genre.
- Our location was located in our school hall, by the wings of the stage as we felt the darkness would help set an eerie atmosphere for our film.
AIM:
- The aim of this production task was to practice three shots involved in continuity editing.
MATCH ON ACTION:
This is used to cut between two shots that show no time has passed between them. "Match on Action" is when you cut during an action to another camera angle but showing the action from the same point in time that you left it from the previous shot,
SHOT REVERSE SHOT:
Occurs when two characters are in conversation. It is done by filming one character looking off screen to where the other character is imagined to be, and vice versa. This can be seen in our film during the conversation between mine and Ciara's characters.
180 DEGREE RULE:
This references an imaginary l.ine which cuts through the middle of the scene from side to side with respect to the camera. Crossing the line changes the viewer's perspective in such a way that it may causes disorientation and confusion, For this reason, crossing the line is usually something be avoided.
Feedback:
WWW:
- We found that the intense music, helped us to achieve a tense, suspenseful atmoshpere and dark setting.
- The dark setting and music helped the audience to expect a psychological thriller.
- We also found that we used the shot reverse shot most fluent and effectively, as it helped us to achieve the goal of naturalism of continuity editing during the conversation between mine and Ciara's characters.
EBI:
- We understood that lighting was an issue. We chose the setting because we felt that it would help with the atmosphere we wanted to create and essentially we achieved this, although, we struggled to film well lit scenes. We ended up having to improvise and use the torch's on mine and Lauren's phones in order to get some more light.
- We would also film the door opening again. This is because in our piece we did not show my character shutting the door behind them, so this is something we will think about in our next piece of practical work in order to make it look more realistic.
