This is my Story board and plan



This is my story board and plan of what my preliminary task was going to look like. we ended up using one of the other people's in my group for the final thing as we thought it would look better in the final piece.

My Anamatic

Katie's Anamatic
I created my animatic by using a program called Adobe Image Ready CS. I did this by scanning in the story board for my preliminary task. I then opened the image in Adobe image ready CS and created a new file. I then dragged each frame into its own layer. I then picked the moving time of my animatic i chose to have 1 second between each frame. I then saved it and uploaded it into "www.photobucket.com" i then posted it straight onto my blog.

my definitions of the different types of shots

Close up:

1)   See expressions and reactions that are important focus on key points and gestures

Medium shot

2)   To see reactions that are important/possibly shoulder gestures body language/ dress code/setting

Long shot

3)   To see the full body of someone and gestures. Things that are not necessarily significant/sets/scenery/large area/establish scenes/sequence in context

High angle shot

4)   To show that the person would be a lower status and the camera is superior. The person would feel vulnerable/inferior

 Low angle shot

5)   To show superior/higher status/taller

Point of view shot

6)   Person is like the camera/ see what the character sees/feels/in the shoes of a character

Spectator shot

7)   Fly on the wall/ 3rd person/ bigger picture/ privileged viewing position/ enjoy the spectacle 

Tracking shot

      8)  To track what’s going on/ move with the person/follow the action 



i also acted in and helped Georgina edit her preliminary task this is it below:
This is our final preliminary task. We filmed our preliminary once and when we had finished editing it, we realised that we had made some continuity mistakes. So we re-filmed my group consisted of 2 actors and 1 person to film each shot. Julian and Mungo acted it out whist i filmed it.  Then we all edited our work together as a group putting our own input into each edit. we edited our video on 'Final cut pro.' We came across a couple of difficulties during filming but we ended up happy with our final video. Hope you enjoy it:

30˚ Rule

The 30° rule is a basic film editing guideline that says the camera should move at least 30° between shots of the same subject. This change of perspective makes the shots different enough to avoid a jump cut. Too much movement around this may adjust the 180˚ Rule. 

Shot Reverse Shot

Shot Reverse Shot is the opposite angle of the original shot another word for it is shot/counter shot. It is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking 'back' at the first one. This means the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.
