Filming day + feed back

Last sunday at 4 o'clock we set out to start our first day of filming. This went extremely well as we most of all of the shots that we want and with a fue more decided on the day. I was very happy with the outcome of the filming and everyone played their part very well.

 

Today James Wigger came in with the frist edit of our OTS. As a group we were very happy with the outcome but a fue little details need to be reviewed. After showing the film to our teacher, she gave us some feed back on what we have to change and what looked good.
We have come up with a small list of changes:

• Cut the van out, as it destracts you from the chase.
• Make the music louder in the into, quiter later on.
• Fade in some sound in some shot endings.
• Cut the pan on the tree at the start. Extend clip 2

The possitives in the film are the little details of the watch, the overlay of sounds and narration and lighting. We will focus on these more to strenghten the film as a whole.
Our next plan is to come up with a title and insert the names in the film. The titles and names will feature on the walls and roads in the film.
The forts that we feel will work well for the titles are:

• Arny pro
• Bell gothic
• Century gothic/school

Planning 1

After sitting down with the teacher and looking though what we have to do and when we have found that we still need small details. This are a goon, possible played by my Dad but no conformation. We will be starting to film on the 25 of monday and work out any other dates after that.

Tom's Sister is playing the FF.
Tom's Uncle might be playing the Victim.
My Dad might be playing the Goon.
My Dad will supply the car.
Location will be around Elm hill.

Test film - Night

On sunday The group apart from me went up the city to test the camera in dark conditions. I would've been there as they planned it for the day before but changed it at the last minute.
They were testing the locations and lighting conditions at different times in the day.

Media Practical - Test Footage from James Wigger on Vimeo.

Here is the footage from the test day.The first 10 shots are in the day, then the last are the same shots but a night time. I am very happy with what they achieved in the time given. They discovered that the perfect time to film would be from 4:30-6:00. As it reaches the perfect light to dark ratio.

Avatar a billion dollar film.

Last this thursday I went to see avatar with a family member, I went into the film with little information and knowledge of what it is about. I was overwelmed at how the film controlled the lighting and colour and effects. After watching the film I watched a short docmentary on how it was made that had interviews with the actor. The technology that was used wasn't green screen but coded into the camera so where ever they pointed the camera either at the floor, actor or sky they would get the world of pandora. So instead of putting in the effects after they were put in whilst filming. This movie was first writen before james cameron's other hit film titanic.

I would highly recomend watching this film as it is a every emoitional film that really links in with every character and has a story and background for every character. I went to see this in 3D and found that the effects were every good, the animal were very realistic. Pandora is shot like a technology hasn't reached earth yet and has evoloved to host though linking of trees and with every animal on pandora.

I would recomend this film throughly and to go see it in 3D as it is well worth the extra money.
