On this blog i will post any of my Research, Extracts of Films for Examples and also any Short Films we make over the course of the year.
Our group is TIAB Productions (Post Doctor X's Production we changed our name to "CAM RAW" Productions) and we are: Me, Josh Clarke, Matt Wallis and Holly Sandford.
Below is an embeded copy of our first production as a group. Doctor X.
This Short was the result of our Preliminary Task which consisted of the following elements:
- Opening Titles and Credits.
- Match-on-Action.
- Shot Reverse Shot.
- 2+ lines of Dialogue.
From this Preliminary Task i have learned a number of things.
One example being the importance of detail when it comes to Continuity, I was first to notice that in one of the shots before Matty turns on the chair, we see a green wig on the desk top, this same green wig is the one which Matty holds in a later shot.
Another few factors we stumbled across in this task will help us in due time when it comes to filming again, for example, how long shooting actually takes before editing, the complications involved in shooting in certain environments and also how sound and lighting greatly effect the finished piece.
This said, i have to say i am very pleased with how the final piece turned out, i feel it has helped us find where we are strong, and where we need to improve as a production team.
Some of the better points to our film include: The intresting use of black and white in a fight scene, multiple match-on-action shots and using suitable music to fit the scene.
