Evaluation

Our movie was mainly aimed at drama/Crime watchers as a large  part at the beginning was aimed to build up the drama for the scene. We also used a lack of sound and dialogue, shot in a dark, murky environment and also used many long shots to get the audience familiar with the setting and "the house". The lack of sound at the beginning gave an impression that the character in focus was not meant to be their and they were up to no good. As young people are a huge audience to television drama, having a young character will make them more likely to connect with the opening shot. However, we didn't realise until after shooting, that is was portraying "young people", in a negative image. It showed the main young character committing a crime. Our movie unfortunately gives the impression of "thug teenagers".

From this experience, we have learnt that shooing at particular times of the day is important, as it is now winter, it becomes dark very quickly and makes shooting on different days very difficult. we also learnt that we should let the camera run 5 seconds before and 5 seconds after the needed clip, as it can be very irritating if some footage is lost. For our final piece, we will make sure to create a more detailed log of when actors are arriving and times, so the shoot flows better and also start researching our props now, so we are sure to be ready for the next shoot.

Final Continuity Task Finished By Stephanie Martin and Imogen Moore

POV for our first shot

Media script

Stephanie Martin

Continuity elements will feature, actor opening a door with their right hand and then getting a shot from the other side and still be using the same had
Other would be also using our shot/reverse shot, when the two actors are talking, we will have to make sure to keep the continuity as both are using a lot of props, such as sunglasses.
As our film stretches over around 3 days because of different actors, we will have to make sure they have the same clothes, hair style etc. as we filmed on different days we had to make sure we shot at round the same time of day so that the weather and lighting outside is the same.

Media planning

• Planning and camera Steph Martin and Immy Moore

• Immy Moore – Actor 1 – Burglar
• Immy Rush – Actor 2 – Home owner
• Steph Martin  - Camera shooting

Basic Plot

Actor 1 enters the unknown house and goes and finds what she needs. After a period of time after she has found them and replaces them with a false alike object. The actual home owner returns “actor 2”, to find that there house has been entered.

After a short period of time, actor 2 finds actor 1 and knocks them out. The next mid shot is actor 1 tided to a chair and asked the dialogue. Soon after actor 1 escapes either running out the house of in a getaway car.
As we have to include our 3 rules, our shot/ reverse shot is very simple as it just has to flow well and keep the continuity the same, as it would just involve a character 1 walking into a room (opening the door with their right and it is the same as they come through) and having a conversation with the other actor, using shot reverse shot.
Our action match is going to be a tackle between the 2 characters. We were going to a fighting scene, but it would be difficult to make it look realistic.
finally the 180, is going to be clearly scene as we are going to have exactly 180 degrees turn as we use a tracking shot on one of the characters.
And we will also be updating some pictures of the setting and some sketches of the 3 rules.

Dialogue

Actor 1 opening their eyes

Actor 1 – wha...where am i?

Actor 2 – what where you doing in my house?!

Actor 1 – I...i... I wasn’t.. I was sent hear.

-”Panicking”-

Actor 2 – “looks confused and more worried”

-There is a knock at the door-

-panicked both actors look, and then actor 1 starts to escape-

Actor 1 runs out, running or then gets in the car

In our shooting, we decided not to use that much dialogue as a lot of our project (opening and closing mainly) is there just to build up the atmosphere and get the audience familiar with the setting early on)

Problems while shooting

We had quite a large range of problems because of changing lighting because of the weather, muffled sound and unreliably of actors.

As we were shooting this in the house, there were a lot of noises in a house such as people arriving in, talking elsewhere; dogs barking etc. we overcame this by shooting at a period were people were still at work, so the sound was at its minimal.
