Production Report

How did the shoot go?
I feel that the shoot itself went very well due to the fact we had all the equipment we needed eg. tripod for the camera to sit on so we had a stable and accurate shot, also we had our scripts in hand so that the actors could look at themif they needed reminding on some of their lines. We also had the shot list which was very usefull for the camera man because he would look at the shot list then put that camera in that accurate posistion within a matter of minutes. Also we had to carry wioth us two batteries incase one of them ran out while we was on set. also a tape just incase in a emeregency that the one being used failed to record anything, after all of this we were ready to film, all in all we had a succesfull shoot due to the fact we was prepared and me and the other actor did very wellwhile the camera man setup the camera in no time at all so timing was not a problem.

Did you encounter any problems?
We encountered some problems, one of which was that one of the actors had gone and had thier hair cut sowe had to reshoot some particular scenes otherwise it would have look non proffesional having two different styles of hair on the actor. Also other problems were for example a person unexpectedly walking into our shot, or one of our actors messing up their lines slightly, or we just had to re-shoot a shot because we felt that we could do better than the last take.

How did you overcome these problems?
We over came these problems by reshooting some scenes or refreshing the actors just before shooting so they would not forget them.

How well did you work as a team?
I thought we worked very efficently as a team to get the shoot finished, we would all help to get the neccesary equipment ready for the camera man before shoot so that we did not time waste and we could get on with the shooting. Me and Danny were the actors and jack was the "producer" holding the shot list and the scripts making sure everything went to plan while charlie did a very good job of being a camera man.

Here we have the shot list of our film production, we have used the template given to us by the example blog, but we deleted the information and put our own in. We had to use the same amount of columns in the shot list because they had to match.



Jump Cuts, Over-the-Shoulder Shots, Cutaways and Point of View Shots

The Script

Continuity

Continuity
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_(fiction)

Continuity is when you have a constisency of thr camera shot, for example one day of fliming a character could be wearing one item of clothing then the next day they were the same so the shots once edited all fit.

180 degree rule/crossing the line
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/180-degree_rule

This is when there is a axis going through the middle of two characters talking and the camera shows each point of view from shoulder view basically, if it goes onto the other side so that the camera crosses the line then its called crossing the line.


Shot-Reverse-Shot
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_reverse_shot

Shot Reverse Shot, is when one character is shown loooking at another charcater and then this second character is shown loooking back at the first one.

Match on- action
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_cut

This is a cut in a film either between two objects or two compositions, this helps to show strong flow of the film.

These are my own photographs of the concepts

Rules of Thirds Pictures

This is me representing the rule of thirds, as you can see my eyes are in the invisble third line.

However this shot is me breaking the rules of thirds as my eyes are halfway down the camera so the shot doesnt look good.
Below is me cropping the picture and making it acceptable within the terms of the rule of thirds.
