Continuity Sequence
In today's lesson we began to draft and story board our continuity sequence. We came up with the idea of an action sequence with a gangster theme to it. We agreed that it would be about someone who has stolen money from a friend who is well respected gangster with a lot of money. George who is the gangster is in disgust with this and decides he wants to kill john who has stolen the money from him. However when it came to filming our continuity sequence one of our members of the group was not in and we were limited on the amount of time we had to film, because of this we decided to change our story. We found a batman costume in a props section so we decided to make a comedy version of batman. We didn't have any additional lighting to help set the scene but because its batman it is expected to be low key lighting. In some parts during the convocation between the two characters (Batman and Gotti) we used a couple of iPhone torches to help light the faces of the characters but not too much to make it obvious. When shooting each of the characters speaking to each other, instead of switching the camera position every time someone else talks we just shot all of their lines at once and then in the editing process we separated it all out. This was helpful as it meant we could work quicker and in the final piece it didn't look like the camera had moved at all from its previous shot.
I feel that if we had a bit more time for filming and had the whole group then the final piece could have been better but i am still happy with the way it came out. I used final cut pro to edit our piece which i have used maybe once or twice before but not enough to no my way around it. However a little while i worked out where everything i needed was and it became a lot easier to create our final piece.
