what we learnt this week

This week we learnt what an asset list is. We used the asset list to make notes on what props and costume we would need to use on the parity remake. I found using the asset list helpful as you used the different sections for different aspects used when planning for filming. I found it helped to seperate all the key aspects instead of writing them in a contiuel list and becoming muddled and finding it hard to find a certai item, this way you just look under the heading you need and will find it in no time.

Remakes

The dexter remake was eventful, hard but fun. As a group we decided that this would be the best one to tackle as it seemed to be the more diffucult to shoot and edit and we wanted the challenge. I think the finished product of dexter is really good (can be found on the groups blog) and allowed us to put our knowledge of using final cut pro to the test! This also allowed us to see the mistakes we made and hopefully learn from them in timefor the shooting for out thriller opening which we are hopefully going to shoot in the december holidays.

The Parity remake was surprisingly harder than the dexter remake. The shots were harder and the editing the students did to their work was outstaning and editing to match their work is going to be challenge, one as a group we are prepared to do our best at and hopefully achieve the same level greatness they did if not well then we shall have to work that bit harder to achieve a great grade like the one they so obviously achieved.

9 frame analysis on ONE HOUR PHOTO

 
This is the man who was the main person throughout the frame. Here he is in the police station after being arrested. The shot is a long shot. 

 This a close up of the police camera. The irony is the film is about a man taking photos of others, and the ironic part is here a picture is being taken of the man.
 This is a mid close up of the police camera.

 This a long, wide angled shot. Here the man is waiting to be questioned, the room is quite simple and stark.
 This an over the shoulder shot, Here the police officer is questioning the man. This is a mid close up.
 This is again an over the shoulder mid close up of shot. Here the man is answering the questions.
 This is a close up shot of the man. Here he is being interviewed and asked about his actions. The shot shows the emotions o his face and allows the audience to connect to the characters feelings.
 Here is a mid close up of the other characters within the main story. This is also one of the pictures shown of the family often throughout the film.
 Here is a picture of a camera and films, it as a high angle mid shot.This is similar to the camera that is used throughout the film. The shot shows what the film is about.

This is the title to the film.The titles changed colours. I think the colours they changed to were photo ink colours as the film was about pictures and a photo printer person.
