One Shot; Final Edit

The lighing was nasty.
In the end, we re-filmed it, the composition was too bad; we had plug sockets and smoke alarms creeping into the shot and to crop the image just felt shoddy.
The second film we produced is probably too exaggerated and more of a joke. The thoughts of the bloke are no longer the main focus when you’re watching it, he’s dancing haha, badly, it was more fun filming it but final outcome isn’t something I’m massively keen on. Think our group even added a mugging at the end, I showed it my friend from a different course and university and her feelings matched mine. I think we had problems when it came to allocating jobs and roles, some of us literally just spoke whilst others wanted to tackle the whole project single handedly.
Group weren’t half bad though.

For my individual edit I think I’m goin t try and adopt a kinda pop art approach. All I can do is make the best with what we’ve got now, if I get enough time towards the end of November I might try and have a go with the cameras and that myself.
I want to make the video evidently more light hearted, and maybe have a mess around with some of the effects, which means a load more trips t waverly in this amazing weather. I’ll post my individual edit when its done, think Dan or Jordans got the group one up if you wanna see it.







Think an all round failed attempt, its jerky where I've sped it up and not sorted it properly, the pop art bit doesn't really coincide with the music, haha lets just hope the tutors are easy going since its first assessment.

pretty certain film isn't gonna be a pathway of mine.

I Love This !

Rookie One Shot; practice

FILM !


Haha if I was moaning about animation, im well and truly out the comfort zone with this stuff.

I think im supposed to write about genre, influences, and technical devices weve used in this video, but to be fair we jus pushed a boy in a bush through lack of other ideas. I didn’t even contribute massively.


The composition of the film isn't too bad, thanks to dan; not too much light messing up the aperture of the camera, I like how much of a joke this is, so easy to do; we didn't need to mess about with lighting or anything, which is greaaaat cos I'm a complete joke to filming and cameras and lighting and everything. Utterly virgin to it all.



Tomorrow we start the filming of the final One shot which must last three minutes, our teams pathetic, we have no idea. Ive been really trying but I have never had anything to do with film before ! im normally sound for ideas, the one thing I do have, so when ive finished this, im going to look at some existing short one shot films for abit of inspiration, if youre lucky ill post them.hold your breath.
