Pictures of Jake's house





These four images are of my house (Jake's house). These four images show the four main areas that were used in last years slasher horror film. If our group decides to use my house as the backdrop for our horror film then this is what the viewer will mainly see when watching our film. The first image is the livving room where the film would start from. The second image is from the top of the stairs where the victim would walk up. The third image is the bathroom where the victim meets the killer and where the film ends. The final image is the hallway where we would see the victim trying to turn on the light switch.

These particular pieces of work are my Storyboard and Shotlist in which plan the appropriate things i need to o assure when i proceed in creating my 30 second film which is based on a students previous horror film.


These two images are our test pictures to show what our killing character might look like. In the first image we see Richard just normal whereas in the second image he looks dark and scary as if he was a killer.

This film we did is another re-take of our last piece of film for composition. We did this because we were told that our first piece of film for our composition was too basic because it was all shot from one angle. So with this new piece of film we did we shot the film from all different angles which made it look even better and make more sense. the editing went great along with the filming so it ran very smoothly again with no errors.

Composition


This filming sequence is probably the best our group has done so far. We still had to do some re-takes but not as many as we did with our other filming sequences. It ran really smoothly with no camera errors so every scene we did came out correct. However when it came to editing the film we decided to delete some of the scenes we filmed because we thought that they weren't that good and they didn't make much sense. Also between the first 2 scenes it seems that Richard kind of jumps from one place to another but other than that we are happy with how this film came out.

continutity exercise



We have finished editing our next continutity exercise. We had a few problems with our filming process and when we imported the film. One of the main problems that we had when filming the sequence was that we kept on making a couple of mistakes which meant we had to film the same scene more than once until we got it right. Then when we imported the film there was an error which then cut most of our filming making 2 of our scenes very glitchy and one of the scenes shorter than what we filmed. Other than these problems the rest of our film once we finished editing was that it ran very smoothly and made raesonable sense of what was happening.

First Continuity Exercise


Within today's media session, we had to re-create a scenario in which a character is walking along a corridor and then goes through a door, he then walks up to a friend and they both say hello to each other.  One character then asks for the time- the character then leaves realizing he is late. The good thing about our short movie is that, it is easy to follow the narrative, and it ran rather smoothly and had less continuity errors than our first video. The bad thing was that we had a bad camera interference which effected a lot of our recording, especially with the close-up shots of the watch, and the point of view shoot from behind Richard which made the scenes look shorter than they actually were, this caused two of the scenes to be ''jumpy'' and you couldn't really see much of what was happening.
