season 3 - planning

I was dong the production design & SFX sheet I couldn't finish it yet because we didn't know if we were going to use lightening or the actual locations, we weren't sure if we wanted to film our side or not now.
Curtis was still doing the script, by the end of the day Curtis finished a rough run through of the script but still got to go over it to correct spelling mistakes and errors and to add more.

Season 2 - planning

For our season 2 we were still planning, but i was filling in the location sheet and the shot lists when tom finishes doing the story board and curtis was starting on the script.
For our locations we thought we should just film it in doors all the time and in the same block but make it look like we filmed it in a different building. For the shot lists me and tom basically worked together on the storyboard and curtis helped us we thought what would go with action, and what angle would look the best.

Season 1 - planning

Season 1 for our hunted project, We got in to our groups and started talking about what our hunted protect should be, We all write down some ideas what it should be about. then we did some mood bored about what is based on our project.

Bomb Sequence

The bomb sequence is the last sequence to our short film.

In this we had to switch people because we couldn't use the same people to say to the other person to defuse the bomb.
And we had to go back to our old group because our team mate was back from being ill.
We needed to also film an action sequence for this sequence wall a soundtrack what I made in garage band.
I had fun doing all the sequences and it tested who was the best using the camera and the best for doing the acting. 

The meeting Sequence

The meeting sequence carries on after the phone call sequence, in the scene you will see the agent and the boss talking about the bomb and where to place it.


It is quite a short scene but we needed to add it in so it'll make sense for the whole sequence. We learned about the 180 rule and used it in the scene, we only used three camera spots. One facing the door the other one looking over the agent should at the boss and the other one looking over the bosses shoulder at the agent. The 180 rule is where one characters talks then it switches from them talking to looking at the other person talking but looks like they are switching positions. If you break the 180 rule it looks like they are teleporting all over the place.

Initial Ideas

 For our Hunted protect we had to write what we wanted to do for our protects, we thought of hunger games at first of someone being hunted but then we thought wouldn't a guy being hunted by the government be another good idea but better.
So we gave ideas in the group who's the 'guy' who's being hunted by the government should be, so we liked the idea of a fraudulent hacker and a pedophile but we didn't like the pedophile bit at the end.
so then we write some other ideas about the guy like if his on the run or dangerous.  

Phone Call Sequence

This was one of our sequence to our final piece.

This was the first time we got let out with the cameras to record a number of clips, but before we got let out we got into groups and started talking about how we should do this and what we should say and where we should record it. We had to a clip board but on a piece of paper telling up what way to look and what shot it was

Then we went out and recorded all the clips then we went back to called and we only meant to have 18 clips but we ended up with 140 odd, we had so many out takes it was unbelievable. We went on final cut and uploaded our footage on there and from there on we edited all the clips in order what we got given. (pink sheet under the yellow one)
We had to make sure it ran smoothly all the way through. We had fun doing the sequence and editing it all together 

Horror still task

The horror still task is basically a practise to learn all the shot angles EG: Low shot, long shot, mid shot, over the shoulder shot

We first had to do a story board about what its about and we had to do 10 shots with all different shot angles and had to write in the picture what the shot angle is.

This is the first time we got let out with a camera so Steve basically tested us so we knew how to use all the shot angles and how to use the camera's. Once we took all the pictures we went back to class and back on the macs and uploaded them to our macs. Then we edited some on photoshop so we can put our brush's and shapes to a proper task. so we added blood to some pictures and scars and some other little effects. Then we put them onto final cut and put them all together and this was the second time we used final cut so we were still quite new to the software. If I went to do them now i would be more experience with Final Cut 

Ident

This is my animated logo. Took a while to make but it was fun while doing it.
I use this at the beginning of every video i make.

I made this in Final Cut, I had to separate every layer so it was all editable so I can animate what I wanted to animate, After doing that we got learned how to move the layers or add effects to them eg: Fades, Black and white, Rotation and more.

I could of done better if I had more time and knew how to use final cut better, if I made it after knowing final cut I would of produced it better
