Thriller The Last Call: Rough cut & feedback

Rough cut of our thriller its only the opening secounds

->We got good feedback such as we had been applauded for the use of camera angles especially the ones for the arresting scene as it showed continuity editing of the arrest
-> the mise en scene was used well though costume as it looked real due to the police outfit and setting of a car park
-> The zoom in on the picture was smooth and continous, it flowed onto another scene and the editing of the blur and zoom made the film look like a flashback
-> editing of the colour/ Gradient made it look as if it was a flashback which is what we wanted to portray
EBI:
-> eventhough this is half of the film its good but the other may no so we should work on our deadlines to have enough to show our class and get full feedback on whole film
-> this is just a rough cut but we needed to include credits, and titles which we will and we heard that the credits should be big for the main e,g. director screen writer and actors font size should be smaller which we will include

Behind The Scenes Filming Day:

We had chosen to film at night however we were prepared for it as we had lights and have chosen to film under street lights to create a more naturalistic look. we were recording on the pavement but we still had Vince to look out for cars

This is a scene is from the flashback and it shows how we used a low angle to film he reaction and facial expression of the person being captured. we had used angle from the side of car to get the perspective of the person being captured

This clip shows our different use of shots and angles which we experimented with such as a long shot to show the different perspectives as if we were a civilian viewing the arrest this gives the impact of a third person viewing which could be the point of view of the Detective.

This clip is of us choosing a shot from inside the car to show the transition of the person getting arrested and in the car. Such shot is key as it shows the emotions of the arrested guy as he would be worried, confused and angry 

 

The videos above are of us filming on different days and in different locations

<---This is of us trying to set up the dolly and trying it out on the pavement to see if the pavement is suitable enough to film a smooth shot

This is our maketing poster we have created we had taken a photo of our actor and had now implemented the font and title ---->

 <---- This is of us trying to get our timings right when keiley should leave the house to start  being in role

This is the angle we tried to film from but the sun was in the way which created a shadow from our tripod and person behind the camera

so we had to use our brains and we stopped the shadow with a bag which was big enough to distort the shadow and make it look natural.

Planning: DSLR Settings (Groupwork)

Aperture


The aperture is a small set of blades in the lens that controls how much light will enter the camera. If you shoot with the aperture wide open, then more light is allowed into the camera than if the aperture is closed down to only allow a tiny hole of light to enter the camera. Aperture sizes are measured by f-stops.  A high f-stop like f-22 means that the aperture hole is quite small, and a low f-stop like f/3.5 means that the aperture is wide open. The aperture also controls the depth-of-field.  Depth-of-field is how much of the picture is sharp, and how much is blurry.  If you want to take a picture of a person and have the background be blurry, you'd use shallow depth of field. A small aperture size (high f-stop number) so that the entire scene is in sharp focus.

ISO


The ISO controls the exposure by using software in the camera to make it extra sensitive to light. A high ISO such as ISO 1,600 will produce a brighter picture than a lower ISO such as ISO 100. The drawback to increasing the ISO is that it makes the picture noisier.  Digital noise is apparent when a photo looks grainy.

Shutter Speed


The shutter is a small “curtain” in the camera that quickly rolls over the image sensor and allows light to shine onto the imaging sensor for a fraction of a second. The longer the shutter allows light to shine onto the image sensor, the brighter the picture since more light is gathered.  A darker picture is produced when the shutter moves very quickly and only allows light to touch the imaging sensor for a tiny fraction of a second.  Just as the aperture affects the exposure as well as the depth-of field, the shutter affects more than just the exposure.  The shutter speed is also principally responsible for controlling the amount of blur in a picture. The shutter speed controls how much blur is in the picture.

White balance setting:
is the process of removing unrealistic colour casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photo it also adapts shooting mode to environment

TIP: Press WB on camera (above SET button)

ISO and Noise

The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive it is to the light, while a higher ISO number
increases the sensitivity of your camera. The component within your camera that can
hange sensitivity is called “image sensor” or simply “sensor

TIP: never go higher than ISO 1600 or the image gets ‘noisy’

TIP: Keep your shutter speed between 30 and 50

Aperture:
Aperture is referred to the lens diaphragm opening inside a photographic lens. The size
of the diaphragm opening in a camera lens REGULATES amount of light passes through
onto the film inside the camera the moment when the shutter curtain in camera opens

during an exposure process.
