Changes

As you can see from my anamatic my film had planned out to be 2:06 this length of the anamatic would not meet the requiremts for a short film. I made changes to my story boars and added another 12 shots in order to make the length of my film sequence fit the appropriate requirements. I have made changes to the opening scene.  I have added another scene which establishes the mission set to the attacker. The scene is a phone call between the two using shot-reverse-shot to show the conversation and to engage the audience into the conversation. The conversation intoduces the narrative more effectively helping the audience understand the attackers situation he has to face. Tomorrow i will add the finished complete storyboard to my blog.

Images Of Props For My Film

Here are images of a presentation that i made to film. My idea is that i will show the attacker planning the attack and it will show articles and news on the attack. Thye camera will slowly pan around all the different maps and images illustrating to the audience where the attack will take place. I plan to have filmed these parts by tonight.

My task for this weekend is to find non-diagetic sounds to add over my film. I also want to record the news reporter speaking on the radio so that i can have my first complete draft in before christmas.

Film Anamatic

My film studies anamatic. I am aware that the anamatic is only 2:06 long but this is from my first draft of the storyboard as i have gone further into the coursework more ideas and techniques i want to use have been added along with more scenes and shots.

Filming

Tonight i am going to film some more of my short sequence, i will be filming the antagonist listening to the radio whilst pouring shots of vodka the audience then see his anger building up and the outburst of it when he smashes the bottle.

Images Of Production

This image shows how much light we managed to provide. It was important that the scene was dark as dark big fields (following the conventions) means that it portrays a horror setting. However if i didnt get hold of the lights then the scene would of been to dark and you wouldn't be able to capture the protagonists face which is essential for the audience because they experience emotions through her facial expressions.

This image shows me stting up the tracking system with help from a friend. I wanted to use a steady smooth tracking shot i had tried to create this before by holding the tripod however i was not able to do this effectively and the tracking system helped me produce the shot i wanted.
 

These images are taken as I was setting up the ‘attack’ sequences. It was important that the lighting was perfect due to the lack of natural light so dependency on artificial light was very high. The images show me changing light directions and distances to capture the right shot and it shows me preparing up the tracking system in order to create the perfect shot. Overall the sequence went well and no re-shoots need to be taken. 

Progress

My filming timetable was scheduled to start Oct 29th however there was a slight delay in the filming due to actors not being available therefore filming had to start a week later so i am now due to finish all filming by 3rd December. Photos of my set ups are to follow.
