The Package
This is the second part of our induction assignment. In groups of three or four we were given this continuity exercise, to make this video, and to see how easy it is to make mistakes when filming. Also to help us learn to use camera angles and lighting as well as having guidelines for how many shots we can use and what type of shot.
Our group was made up of four; Robert, was in the suit as our MR mysterious with the suit case; Mikey was our other dodgy looking tough guy that takes the case; Connor, who acted as our director and camera man; And me, i was the overall organisation and script writer. As a group we didn't think we'd made many mistakes other than a few obvious ones. Unfortunately we didn't finish editing and so we had problems with the sound. When the music is played, it cuts suddenly, whereas there should have been a fade out. Also the weather change was quite dramatic, but with only four hours to write, film and edit, we didn't have time to re-film the shots, however we all agreed that the first shot was a great add to the mysterious and built up suspense.
Near the beginning when Robert removes his shades, there was a classic reflection of the camera man (Connor), seen in the lenses, this was meant to be blurred out, but we thought it was a good Cameo of our director.
The next issue was at 0:33, when Robert begins to walk, the camera shakes. This is because we used a dolly (Tripod with wheels), instead of using a track (basically rails which the camera slides along, they use them for following a horse in a race). Adding to this Robert has a little smirk on his face. and has to walk extremely slowly so the camera man can keep up without shaking too much.
The next shot close up shots (0:56-0:59) have a vast change in angle and lighting. we didn't get to finish the editing, if we had we'd probably have tried to get rid of reflections, add contrast and we'd have tried to make the images sharper.
