Practice Film
In this practice film we had to use different camera techniques such as tracking, match on action and we were invited to create a sequence with a creative plot line. The name of our piece was "Criss-Cross" and our plot line was based on a group of villainous assassins communing to kill each other. In our film we demonstrate a variety of different camera techniques such as match on action (x3), a shot reverse shot and an eye -line match.
Here is an example of an eyeliner match.

My contributions were acting, filming and editing, we made sure that everyone had a chance to all in our group so that we could all experience all of the techniques. During filming I enjoyed the use of the camera on the tripod and managed to film a couple of clips such as the section that we have in slow motion where Ollie is hit by the stick from Will, I also managed to film the section where Will throws the stick at Ollie. In the editing I was responsible for putting the shots in chronological order and cropping them as necessary. I also implemented the title at the start and installed the freeze frames (although the idea of the last freeze frames were Will's idea).
Hi.I really liked the storyline of your filming as it was very comical and was also easy to understand. I thought the opening credits were really good as a simple action has been made funny through the use of the music. As well, the use of the tilt towards the beginning was effective. The match on action shots were really effective and the sound effects added to them made them really entertaining.
ReplyDeleteOne thing to improve is that there could be a wider variety of match on action shots but apart from that, I thought it was really entertaining.
