Post 8: Production Report

Section A
1. How did the shoot go?- The shooting of the film went well and fitted in well with the chosen mis en scene however we encountered some problems when filming outside because of the noise of the trafic and wind playing over the voices at some  points, to overcome this problem in the secrtion with the speaking we voice overed since we did not have the technology to cut out background noise. As a team we worked ok but had the tendency to much about so the filming time took longer than exected.

2. The footage we shot was avergae footage because obviously we do not have  top quality cameras and lighting like you see in the films. i think some areas could have been filmed better with some more over  the shoulders shots raher than medium long shots, and all filming is continued by the rules of continuity.

Post 5 Jump cuts, over- the-shoulder shots, cutaways and point of view shots.

Jump cut
A jump cut is a filming edit which is in two sequential shots of the same subject, which are taken from two different camera positions that vary only slightly. This will make the subject in the shot appear to “jump” positions in an irregular way. Jump cuts are used vividly, to suggest the cogitations or inconsistencies of a character. 

Over-the-shoulder shots
An over-the-shoulder shot is a shot which gives the view the character’s point of view but the shot will also include part the characters head in the shot. This shot is generally used for dialogue exchange. The shot will include head and shoulders of the speaker in the background, also with the shoulders and back of head of the listener in the foreground.

Cutaway shots

A cutaway shot is the interruption of a scene with the insertion of another scene, which is generally unrelated or only partly related to the original scene. The interruption is usually quick, and is usually, although not always, ended by a return to the original scene. The effect is of commentary to the original scene, frequently comic in nature.

 

point of view shots

A point of view shot is a short film scene that shows what a character is looking at. It is normally a character looking at something, so that the person watching it can image they are the person pictured.(P.O.V shot)

Post 3 Continuity

A link that explains continuity
http://www.cybercollege.com/tvp050.htm%C2%A0

continuity means that when you edit the shot it edits it so the shot all flows properly. for example in one shot if someone had a green hat on in one shot and the camera then swayed to the other angle and the person is wearing a red hat then this would not count as being continuous.

First shot: He is on the left

 

Second shot: He is on the right
