I worked with ben summerton, becky baker and ,emma dimelow to complete our preliminary filming task. As a group we did alot of the filming together with the initial ideas coming from me and Ben, with becky and emma adding their opinions to shoot the best all round shots.
As a group we created a story board and this was the main planning of our short film. We briefly designed the storyboard within half a lesson. From the start the ideas were clear which made our filming very straight foward.
We used a camera and tripod that we borrowed from the library and then we editing the clips on an apple mac using the program imovie.
The camera angles needed to be just right, so we took into accord these factors; lighting, 180 rule and the camera shot itself ( e.g high angle )
We took mise en scene into account when producing our film. Like we kept the identity of our character very secretive until the last minute showing he doesn't want anyone knowing who he is.
Barthez's theory of structuralism is apparent in our film when we first meet the 2 main characters. Some one like an assassin ( played by ben ) and a boss or some one with importance ( played by me ) because our dialogue or actions will lead to others being taken. Also the enigma code is apparent because we keep the audience intrigued on who is the man walking down the corridor.
I was fairly pleased with the outcome of our piece of work. There was one shot that i would have liked to have include but i didn't have and macro on the camera. The shot was to focus in on something in the foreground, then in the background see ben ; just making his outline out. walking into the room. also i was not pleased to hear the news of not being able to use real songs due to copy right, and that we had to create our own music on garage band. this completely killed the mood of the piece so we did not include a soundtrack.
