Final Preliminary Task.

Analysis Of Prelim Task

Both filming and acting in this task helped me understand how difficult it was to get things right within each role. The hardest thing i found was acting as i have never been filmed before and at times i would come out of my role, however i have experienced filming before so i understood how to work the camera, and take steady shots. 

From similar tasks when coming to use premier pro to edit our sequence i already knew how to work the program with confidence, i.e. when rearranging clips, cutting clips and editing them. Therefore did not take much time.

When filming our clip me and Lia paired up with another two people to help film and act, i feel this helped us with ideas to get out prelim task to be as best as it could be.

The filming was fairly easy, we needed to make sure that we included everything that was asked, i.e. match on action, shot reverse shot, and making sure that we did not break the 180 degree rule.

When editing out sequence we found there were some bits that were unneeded and made the sequence look choppy and unorganised, by taking them out it made our sequence run smoother.

These clips are what we took from our original filming and coloured in after effects to compare some sequences to the real title sequence.

Analysis Of Film Opening- Superbad

Filming:

When filming for my opening sequence i found it very tricky at first to get grips on how to use the camera and making the footage look professional. I felt the first time taking the camera out to have a practice run of the sequence that the footage didn't look that good, and i was not to sure on how to use everything on the camera, however this was good as i wasted less time when coming to shoot the final sequence, for example starting to film, stopping and replaying the footage that had just been filmed.


Before we started to film we looked through the sequence many of time to make sure we knew what we was about to do, also we made a snap shot of photos taken from the opening title sequence of 'superbad' highlighting every main part in the sequence that we needed to remember, for example transitions and dance moves. This helped us to organise the way that we had to do things to not waste as much time. On the other hand we did not finish our whole sequence in colour as we found the application extremely difficult, and we did not expect that everything would take so long. I feel if we didn't plan anything before we began to film then we would have been very behind.


Throughout shooting for our sequence we did not have to worry about weather conditions, or the best location as we only had to record in a studio. However the studio that we used was not ideal as it was a little small, which meant we could not fit in the whole of the actors bodies.


Due to the fact our opening sequence is a dance, the camera had to stay on a fixed stand and be set in the right position, so we did not experience the use of angles and shots thoroughly. Although we did film the same part many of times to get it as close to the real film as possible, due to our actors  that we used not acting entirely professional, for example laughing. However our actors were reliable and was considerably patient.

This video was what we originally filmed, which we cut and edited also adding transitions and effects however have not changed into colour in this sequence.
