Final Cut Pro Part 5

Continuing on since the last blog post. we decided to experiment further and use the layering plus the transform tool to try it again but with 4 this time. We liked his and thought this looked different and better to the original and the second idea with the 2 scenes together.

CW:Shoot Number 3 Review

Our sole intention with this shoot was to get the shots that we were missing, such as the entrance into school and walking through the corridors. The shots that we were filming were very basic, but we still used lots of shot variety and framing techniques like we did for the 10th of march shoot. This shoot went very well for us and we got more than enough footage to use.

Here is some of the raw footage we shot:

These are the Call Sheets for Shoot 3, considering how helpful they were for Shoot 2 we decided to do some for this shoot as well.

This shoot is solely for the shots of 'Uber-Conal' walking through school and into school. We plan on including as much shot variety as we can and have even planned some of the shots that we want to vary and how we shall vary them

CW:Shoot number 2 Review

We think that this shoot went very well and we shall definitely be employing the practices, such as the shot list, that we employed here in future shoots. We are very happy with the results that we say from this shoot and feel that, with all the shot variety and repeat filming of scenes, we have more than enough shots to choose from.

Here is some of the raw footage that we filmed:

CW:Planning For Shoot Number 2

For this shoot, we will be filming after school. As we don't want to keep actors any longer than we want to we decided to plan out the shots and what order they would be shot in. This was a very basic list and doesn't account for the different angles that we want to shoot at but we hope it will help us to work as efficiently as we can.

Ideal Locations

Ideal locations:




Before we consider filming dates, we are researching possible places to film. We want to have a shot of the bedroom and of (the inside and outside of) the school.

We plan on using our school, IGS, for filming. We hope to film after school, as this will mean that we have the most control over who is walking down the corridors and what is happening while we film. We also want to have shots that were different which showed off our creative side and therefore our indie background. For this we want to take inspiration from Submarine (Ayaode, 2010). We also want to have shots of down the corridor which may also include some classroom scenes 

For the bedrooms, particularly the girl's bedroom, we plan to have a space that we can pan by in order to show what the character is interested in by using mise-en-scene and therefore cutting the amount of dialogue etc, but this is not a deal-breaking requirement. We hope that the bedroom has an en-suite, as this would make the transitions while the character gets ready easier to complete.

Stereotypical teen room

We would like the bedroom to be messy and therefore it will signify a stereotypical teenagers room and show they are disorganised and therefore could suggest they are an outsider and with more anchorage of the character we feel this could be achieved. 



Location Scouting:

Lauren's Room

 We thought lauren's room worked well but because it didn't have an en-suite but also wasn't really what we were looking for due to the lack of natural light. 

Inside the front entrance 

 Although the lighting in this picture is quite dark we opened both doors for our filming to let in more light. we also wanted to film here due to the automatic doors to create a good impression of the character to make him look superior and special. 

Front Entrance 

We liked our front entrance of school with the old stone and arch way and thought to some extent it added to the glam factor that we wanted to continue as best we could despite being an indie company. 

School Scene Corridor

Most of the corridors in the 'new building' are identical to this, this was something that we wanted incase one corridor was busy when we needed to film quieter scenes this is something that we wanted and we liked the fact that they were long to get nice extreme long shots but also contained a lot of light, which was needed to get quality shots.
