LO4 Short Film Screening

We have decided to show the film to an audience that consists of our friends of different ages and ethnicities.

We will do one major viewing showing the film to the whole group at once.

LO3 applying appropriate visual effects and transitions

In this screenshot you can see us lining up the recorded music with the footage using the sound recorded by the camera and comparing the song to their lips and movements. We have had to add in cutaways between the footage to sync the footage with the song as they were playing at different speeds.

Here you can see us editing in a black out transition. This just makes the change in footage more smooth and not as severe. The effect also states the end of a section this splits the footage in to certain parts.

Here you can see us editing a fade to black transition and a black screen after to show the ending of the film and not just leave it to suddenly cut off and leave it looking unprofessional and unfinished.

In this picture you can see us editing in the heartbeat sound effect in to the spaces that I've made for the effect. This effect gives the scene character and makes a good intro for the video as the clips that are in-between the blackouts are the band walking to the stage. we used this effect as a show of stress and worry like as if the hearts of the band would be racing. 

LO3 Offline edit

This is the offline edit for our short film. The footage needs a few fades and sound effects adding such as a heartbeat sound effect in the beginning and a few fades that will make the transitions better and more smooth. 

LO3 Rushes

This footage is of the band playing on stage. Like the rest of the live audio, it is very poor as without all the correct microphones and other equipment to capture this. So instead we have decided to get the songs they have recorded and put them over the top to make it sound and look better. We see a few camera shots, however all consist of the all 5 members of the band (even if the drummer is a little out of sight). We can see a little of the crowd stood watching the band perform for them. The footage is very blurry in points and shaky at times, however over all this is very good bit of footage and a lot of it will be used across the final product. I would rate this footage at a 4/5.

However this footage is a lot blurrier than the last one, so we will have to  be careful with what we use on this as it will probably be used for cut aways as the songs played on this one are mainly ones that are covers of well known songs which they do not actually record, so we would not be able to get good audio for it. Overall I would rate this footage at 2/5

The footage is very blurry in points and shaky at times, however over all this is very good bit of footage and a lot of it will be used across the final product. This footage is not as blurry as the second lot, however it is over light, but this can be addressed in premiere. at 1:22 we see the lead guitarist jump, this will be good footage to use as it is very rocky and would be good for a cut away. I would rate this footage at 4/5.

This is footage of the crowd entering the venue, originally we planned to use as a time lapse however after reviewing it will probably be used as a cut away from the poor bits of footage of the band playing on stage. This will also add some affect to the final product and also show viewers that they get a lot of people come see them. Overall I would rate this footage at 3/5.

This will also add some affect to the final product and also show viewers that they get a lot of people come see them, this is when the gig was starting to get a lot busier so this shows the size of the crowd more. Overall I would rate this footage at 4/5.

This is the footage of the interview of the band. Some of the footage is unusable due to taboo language and messing around from band and interviewer. However this helped the band feel more at home and give us a more relaxed interview. There are serious responses as well as the mess around so this footage will be used, the mess arounds will be used as cut arounds as well, to add a quirky feel to the film. This one is the rehearsal filming to see how they responded to gigs. Overall i would give this a 3/5.

LO3 Edit Log

LO2: Evidence of Appropriate Equipment Setup

This is us setting up the camera in corp before the band came out but after we finished filming the interview. As you can see we had to battle the low lighting and we had to film up against the wall so we were not in the way of the crowd as we did not want to impact on the atmosphere. We stayed in our uniforms to make us look more formal and make it obvious to the crowd and band we were there for a purpose and not just to enjoy our selves.

LO2 - Following production processes

We have managed to follow the production schedule without any problems apart from the fact that we had a lot of time left towards the end which we spent going over our blogs to check and improve anything that needs improving or adding if we have forgotten anything.

LO2 - Following safe working practices

Following safe working practices 

We have followed safe working practises by creating a risk assessment which we followed on the night of filming which allowed us to be safe and keep all equipment protected so it didn't get damaged or any of us in any trouble. We avoided a lot of the risks by parking just around the corner from the venue which meant we only had to walk for a minute to the venue which minimised the risk of being mugged. We anticipated people to go near the tripod which could have meant the camera being knocked off the tripod but there was a few of us who went which meant we could stand around the tripod to stop people going near it but people were respectful and stayed away from where the camera and tripod was. There was a few risks which didn't come up like people didn't throw any drinks into the crowd which allowed us to keep the equipment safe and we stayed in the corner of the room when extending the tripod which avoided people knocking it or getting pushed into it.

LO1 Shooting Schedule

We only filmed the band at one location which was at corporation but it was the perfect opportunity to not only film them headlining the event but to get an interview backstage with a perfect setup where we could fit all the band in which would lead onto them walking out of there to head onto the stage. The advantage of getting the interview before they actually go out is that we can see what there reactions are like and get them to tell us what they're feeling like before they head onto stage to play in front of a big crowd. The filming was spaced out over the night by a few hours when we was there as we had to wait for the other bands to finish which they hyped up for the crowd for the main headlining band.

LO1 Analysing Short Films

Room 8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJj_NMhYwf0
A) Camerawork
The Camerawork in the short film Room 8 is the reason its so interesting and why the viewers keep watching it. The film is completely set in a single room this limits the angles and shot types making the . The film is completely filmed in closeups and mid shots. These create a sense of tension and mystery this keeps the viewer entertained.

B) Narrative
The Narrative of Room 8 is a WW2 prisoner is escorted in to a cell with a new inmate where he discovered a box that is the exact scale copy of the cell he is in. The box is a smaller world that the one he is in. He uses this to escape in to the bigger world where his inmate catches him in to a matchbox.
