Cont Ex Eval 1

In this scenario we was asked to walk down a corridor , into a room. once in the room they would walk across the room and sit down. In the room would be another person waiting in a chair. These two people will then exchange dialogue. In order to make it a more fun and interest piece of work , me and my partner  decide to make a Kong-Fu theme. we added in jumps and flying kicks.

The key media language skills we tried to demonstrate where mostly shot angles . We used a shot reverse shot which cross cuts between two shots. This shot also a cut to show the viewer something not immediately visible. Also had to use a cut away. a cutaway is a bridging shot between 2 shots of the same subject , often used to soften uncomfortable jumps in time and space , this makes the shot look a lot less messy. match on actions  is where you can get the action all the way through . we also had to keep the eye line 3/4 of the shot , this is called a eye line match. Ensure the eyes are on the top horizontal to ensure characters are looking at each other. finally we had to use a reaction shot , this shows someone reacting to a scenario. The task should demonstrate knowledge and understanding of match action shot/reverse shot and the 180- degree rule. 

In this project i worked with another student named Joe shepherd. We worked will together as a team , and build idea off of each other. In the plan we both done the story bored  I personal did the first half and my partner done the second half. we both acted in our film , this made is easier to film considering we didn't have to wait on anyone to film.

This grouping was very successful because if i needed to contact Joe in the weekend he was easy to access because we are friends out of school. Me and Joe also have a lot of competition between us , so when one of us created a idea , the other person would create a even better idea. Considering me and Joe are mature we didn't mind making a fool of our self , this made our film more successful.

In our movie , most of the film was based on Kong Fu. Me and my partner brainstormed ideas that we fort was creative but realistic to do in our environment  Once one of us had a creative idea the other person would reply with another creative idea which made it easy. we didn't want there to be a person typical working through the corridor so we added a stair jump. This gave a more Kong-Fu feeling.

The story bored was very useful. It gave us the outline on what we wanted to achieve. However we soon released that we wouldn't be able to complete all the shots we originality put on our story bored.So we then had to fit the surrounds around the the story bored to make a more realistic piece of work.
