Our First Project - 180 Degree Angle

Are first project that we are aiming to finish is our 180 degree angle rule demonstration, which we have already completed our first one with test shots linked in previous blog posts. Our idea is that we will have filmed our secondary and hopefully final shots after school today which means that we will have filmed the hole 180 degree rule and have it edited by George by the end of the week. The reason in which this may be a challenge is that all of my coursework group members will be able to attend to it, therefore we may have to change the day leading to delay of editing and posting it up on the blog. Another problem which could occur is that the clip need to be longer, however we did not film a fight within the last test shots so that could indeed make the clip longer however if not we could pre long the stare out between the two personas.

The problem with the fight is that George would prefer to use his brother so that there are two male personas within the clip as well as George and his brother are both confident/comfortable infront of a camera, where as i am not. His reason is that although he is sure either me or Mariella could be comfortable with punching him in the face, he knows that his brother would act it out perfectly due to many previous fight scenes they have filmed previously on his channel. The secondary problem is that the cut out the fight scene to prevent needing George's brother we would need to make the clip longer using something else which was decided to prelong the stare out, which would require changing or even making a new story board because the camera angles used in the present storyboard create tension building up to the fight scene and if there was no fight scene then it would cause unnecessary tension; to overcome this problem we are going to decide whether we need to change some aspects of the storyboard and if so what parts of the story board.

To improve our clip further we are going to use George's own camera with an X-grip allowing the camera to stay smooth within the fight scene (if it is to happen) so that they is no shaking within the scene or in the last scene when the camera is moving around the persona. As well as we shall use one of the schools tripods if needed to keep the camera completely still. Lastly if we were to film after school today it should mean that the audio will be clearer as the school will not be filled with other students such as in our test shots there was a student outside his classroom and classes going on within the classrooms, which we covered up the sound with music.
