Preliminary.

Outtakes.

This video is our outtakes from our preliminary. During our time when we were filming we made a few mistakes, which we thought would be good to keep and to make in to a short film.
We will also be doing this for out final film, as i am sure we will make a few mistakes.

Auditions.

Auditions speech.


We came up with a short script of one of the scenes,  which we then got actors to read.








For our main task, we decided to do auditions so would could see who would be best for the part of the boy and girl.

Preliminary task.

For our preliminary task we deiced to film in quite an isolated area, we did this because it tighed into our story line. We used many different techniques, such as camera angles and movement.
When filming we took many different angles of the same scene, in order to see which one would work best for us. Once we had finished filming we began to edit, by deleteing unwanted scenes and making any final changes, such as enhancing the ringing of the phone, editing the lighting to give our film a more chillng feeling and making sure that our film ran smoothly from scene to scene.







This is the gate the runs through in a panic, in order to get away from what ever/ who ever  is following her.




This is the field that the girl runs past as she trys to get away from what is following her.


During the film a coversation takes place with in the shed, this is a main part in the story line, as the coversation explains what is about to happen.

This a wide angle shot of the isolated field in which we decided to film our preliminary.

Camera angles and shots.

Establishing shot- A shot, often outside, that indicates where the action will take place.



Master shot- a shot that is used at the beginning or end of sections.






Close up- close in to a face/ item.   







Long shot- Hardest to define, but loosely, will involve seeing a person in full focus.





 Extreme long shot- usually outside, can be from up to a half a mile away.






                         Low angle shot- from below the actor or set.





High angle shot- taken from above.










Crane angle shot- using a crane or similar to create medium high angle.




Wide angle shot- showing a wider view of a scene.  








Aerial shot- using helicopters or planes to provide an extreme high angle shot.





Panning shot- the camera operator stays still and the camera moves to the following action, or often a moving object like a vehicle.





Tracking shot- where the camera operator moves alongside the action.

Framing shot- using a piece of set or scenery to frame a shot.




 Point of view shot - camera shot as if though the eyes of the protagonist or character.





Two shot- when two people are in the shot.


The 180 degree rule.

The 180 degree rule is used when two people are having 
a conversation.
This means that the camera stays on one side
of the conversation.
This makes it clear to the audience what is going on. If the 180 
degree rule is not used the audience can get very confused 
and it can becomes very unclear what is going on.
