Question 7

Preliminary Taskhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_MewCTkbuk&list=UUsyBWeZ3hqK4vXXTmoVqfDQ&feature=c4-overview

The Preliminary Task

In the preliminary task I learnt how to do techniques such as the shot reverse shot, the 180 degree rule and how to do match on action.

I also learnt how to do scripting, making a storyboard, how the camera and microphone works, and how to do scripting.

After that I learnt how to do editing techniques such as making cuts, fades, and making text appear on the screen.

I found the editing and camera work easy, however I found making the script and storyboard hard so it was good to get the experience for those things for the movie opening.

Camera Shots

The camera shots in my movie opening are varied . I have used two shots, long shots, over the shoulder shots, close ups, extreme close ups, pov shots, and a tracking shot.

Research Of My Genre

While researching my genre I had to find out who my target audience were by doing interviews, what age most of them are, what gender most of them are, and how many of them are there.

I also had to find out what content was in my genre, such as the themes, character types, and costumes.

Editing

When it came to editing I was able to use different fonts, texts, animations, and fades to present the different key cast. What’s more, I was able to use some special effects to put rain in the background of the film logo, and put a fuzzy T.V. effect.

Photoshop

With Photoshop I was able to make a studio logo and a film logo. I made the studio logo by getting one of us to draw the studio logo, next I used Photoshop to draw on top of it and make smoother images, then I put them on a background with text.

For m film logo I got a royalty free picture with a pattern and put it underneath the text, I then replaced the letter “P” with a royalty free picture of a gun.
