RO - Sound

i am thinking of createing my own soundtrack to stop wierd loops that just sound the same, so i am thinking of using cubase 4 to create different effects through the soundtrack to keep it "Alive".

[RG] Shoot 13/3/10

Originally we planned to shoot on Friday but had to wait till the next day because of the weather. We met up at a time we felt would provide the right light but still would lack people walking around the could ruin our shots. We filmed all the major shots off our storyboard of the running sequence but were unable to shoot our "passer by" shots as no one was available to give us a hand. We will return to the location to film these shots during the week or at the weekend.

Location: Otford
Equipment used: Camera, Tripod

The tripod was used for most of the shots to achieve effective panning and steady-cam shots. When shooting I had to consider the rule of thirds and how visualy noisy the cars cars make the shot.

Preliminary Task

We set out to film a chase sequence through continuity editing,

The continuity editing was a success but we would like to improve the quality of the camera work and the fluent movement between the shots

Preliminary Task

Just finished the editing of ther camera work and we were both surprised at the quality of the overall piece so far, just need to add the naration and then the sound then the task will be completed :)

[RG] Opening Analysis

Trainspotting

-The film opens with a steady cam shot of two characters running away from security in a busy street. At first, the audience doesn't know why they are running.
-The camera cuts to ground level and you can see the feet of the main character as he runs and objects falling to the ground from his pockets. The audience can then deduce that the man has just robbed somewhere.
-There is a low angled shot as the man runs down a small set of stairs which snaps to a point of view angle of him running down the road.
-This point of view switches to another point of view shot of a driver as he hits the man in his car.
-A name title pops up and then there is the first cut to a new scene of him smoking.
-This cuts to a scene of characters playing football where their name titles are shown.
-There are then continuous cuts between the smoking scene and the football scene as the main character falls down.

-The whole opening is accompanied by narration as there is no other dialogue and the tone and words used set the theme of the movie. The song Lust for Life by Iggy Pop is also constantly accompanying the opening and gives the footage an upbeat, late 80s/90s feel, that is effective at fitting the theme and running sequence.

RO - The preliminay task

planning the storyboard today was very hard as the idea wasnt a collabarate contribution to it, will be fun to see how it will look like after shooting though
