Reflection
The class was told to draw a picture to represent the best moment in our filming/editing process.
I attempted to draw a picture, but gave up quickly as I cannot draw. Nick asked me to upload it anyway.
The picture was suppost to be of the fisheye camera view of us all inside the car, creating a really good shot.

Fridays filming
On friday our group set off to Max's house to record our film opening, and it was a strong success.
With five roles in the opening and three people, Max and I played an additional character each. We spent the morning recording the exterior shots, around and inside the car, and used the fisheye lens for the inside of the car which provided a fantastic shot. For the characters inside the car we cut up a vest and turned it into three balaclavas, which worked well.
In the second half of the day we had the camera dolly as well as the fisheye lens, which we used for three shots and worked very well. Max and I changed and played characters inside the house, and Rob filmed the majority of the shots inside the house.
The filming is now complete apart from three shots which can be done at a later date.

Animatic
Over the day, Max and Rob drew storyboards which we had already roughly drew a few days before. With these much neater storyboards, I took a photo of each of them and imported them into Final Cut, and estimated how long each shot would last.
At the end of the day, we came up with a short script for a rough voiceover for the beginning, and recorded it for the animatic.

continuity task
we created a short video to demostrate match on action, and the 180 degree rule.
the 180 degree rule is that when filming a conversation, the camera should always stay both sides of the same line, as not to confuse the audience.
match on action is that when you cut to another angle, the action should continue as if it was not two seperate shots.
this is the video i created with ali

Ident
My Ident for my production company, Boneyards
I started by finding an image of a shark, and made an Opie of it on Photoshop.
I then found a second image of water for the background.
Putting both into Final Cut, I animated the shark, and added text and music.
