180 Degree Rule.

The 180° rule is a basic guideline that means that two characters in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera crosses the imaginary line, the new shot from the opposite side is known as a reverse angle. We have ensured that we followed the rules and did not cross the imaginary line. 

Split Screen Experimentation.

Last lesson we experimented with split screening. We started by filming multiple shots, using a variety of different camera angles, including a point of view shot as well as a simple mid shot. We then edited the footage, splitting the screen into 4 and 2. This helped us to get an idea of what the finished product will look like.


After watching the footage, we decided that following our characters footsteps with the camera rather than having them film themselves with a point of view shot will be more effective. This will also allow us to vary the distance of shots,and transitions between them.


We will upload the footage as soon as it is edited... 

Filming Dates.

We currently have 2 weeks left until the final deadline (March 9) for our Opening Sequence. Unfortunately, up until now we have been unable to film due to a shortage of equipment.
We plan to begin filming as soon as possible. When filming is complete we plan to use the remaining time to edit the footage. We estimate that filming should take no longer than 3 days, leaving us enough days to edit thoroughly.

Music Inspirations.

In order for our opening sequence to be effective and believable, our characters will have to contrast each other in as many ways as possible, e.g clothing. To ensure that we achieve this contrast, each character will have a different 'soundtrack' for their walk. Here are some of our music ideas...

Filming.

We plan to film 4 different boys in 4 different environments, ultimately arriving at the same destination. To achieve this we will have to find 4 separate locations to film in. These locations should all somehow differ in order to portray the characters personalities.  
To ensure that our opening sequence catches the attention of the audience we will have to film from multiple different angles. This could include a point of view shot and a high angle. 
Towards the end of the sequence we will include an establishing shot as the characters come together to show where the remainder of the story line would take place. 


We aim to film during the day as we feel this will give us the best lighting, and also give us time to make corrections if necessary.
