Me and the rest of 'Clueless Productions' dedicated today's lesson to filming our title sequence and editing the footage we got. Initially we had gave some thought to editing our title in, but after some speculation we decided that we would use our own writing for our film title, through taking the word 'AWAY' out of our letter. Last filming session we had not had time to give our letter a conclusion, so we decided to do that in today's lesson and include the word 'AWAY'. We set up our set as accurately as we could from the previous session to avoid continuity errors, and we began to film the letter writing again. Adam, the stalker of our piece, wrote the sentence 'It's just been so difficult being AWAY', we filmed this line being wrote and we then took the camera of the tripod, and filmed an extreme close up of the word 'AWAY' on the page. As our letter was going to be read over the montage scene we had decided on doing in planning of our film, we thought we could scrap the 'dissolve' idea we had considered in the previous session and merely begin with Adam writing the first line, which we would have in the film, then cut straight to the fast forwarded montage of the various gift sending, train riding etc. This would continue until the last line of the letter was read, in which we would revert back to the filming of the letter writing itself once more, revealing the film title 'AWAY'. Unintentionally we took the camera away from the lighted area after this was filmed, revealing a completely dark screen which we realised actually looked quite effective and was something we wanted to keep. This created a sense of realism as if the camera were the eyes of our narrator, looking away from the paper, but also provided a great opportunity to edited in our team name, 'By Clueless Productions' - following the shot of our film title. We then proceeded to the editing suite in which we selected the relevant parts of the footage for usage and cut the insignificant.
What techniques we used
We again set up the back lighting and aerial shots that we had used in the previous lesson, however this time we used two different shot types. When filming the film title, we used an extreme close up, hand holding the camera as opposed to securing it onto a tripod. There was not a great variety of technique used in today's filming session as we were merely concluding the previous session, the bulk of today was dedicated to editing - in which we were merely cutting.
Risk assessment
SAME RISK ASSESSMENT AS PREVIOUS SESSION AS IT WAS THE SAME LOCATION AND EQUIPMENT
