Post 6- Shot List & Storyboard

Shot List:
Here is the Shot List that me and my group have prepared for the X-Factor Audition-

Location	Scene No	Shot No	Description
On stage	1	1	Close up of ELLYS face, happy she’s got through
Leading off the stage, towards the stairs.	2	2	End of audition, ELLY jogs off stage towards the back left of the stage and down the stairs.
On the stairs	3	3	Walking down the stairs and through the doors (1) to the right. Panning.
Corridor	4	4	Close up shot of ELLY’S face as they are exchanging dialogue.
	4	5	Tilts down ELLY’S body as KELLY points out she’s shaking. KELLY then asks ELLY to have a seat from this angle.
	4	6	Camera angle over KELLY’S shoulder facing ELLY for the dialogue until before the line that reads “And, which judge do you hope you impressed?!
	4	7	Camera angle over ELLY’S shoulder facing KELLY for the line “And, which judge do you hope you impressed?”
	4	8	Dialogue continues till end with the camera facing ELLY.
Corridor walking towards the doors   (2).	5	9	ELLY ends the dialogue with KELLY and leaves through the doors (2). Camera shot from behind as she’s walking away.

Section B:

As a group we decided thought that the whole X-Factor Audition theme would be good for our group work becuase it has a lot of emotions to it, so what we done is ELLY was extremely happy that she has gone through to the judges house so she joggs of the stage jogging down the stairs so to add affect to it we decided to pan down ELLY's body, down to her waist/hand to show that her hand is shaking.
We also done quite a lot of different shots to show the characters movement, when ELLY was told that she was going through we done an Extreme Close-Up to her face to show the facial expressions she was making also we done Shot-Reverse-Shot to show ELLY and KELLY sitting down, talking to each other.

Story Board:
Here is the Story Board that me and my group have prepared for our X-Factor Audition:

Post 5: Jump Cuts, Over-the-Shoulder Shots, Cutaways and Point of View Shots

Jump Cut:
A jump cut is a cut in film editing in which two sequential shots of the same subject are taken from camera positions that vary only slightly. This type of edit causes the subject of the shots to appear to "jump" position in a discontinuous way
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_cut

Jump cut basically means when editing a film, the two shots are taken from the same angle but there seems to be a jump therefore it means that the shot was not continusous and abrupted.

Over-the-Shoulder-Shot:
A camera shot taken from over the shoulder of a character whose back can be seen at the side of the frame
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_shoulder_shot

Over-the-Shoulder-Shot basically means that the camera shot is directly taken from the back of the shoulder and so you can see the persons back facing the camera whilst talking to the other person who can be seen clearly in the shot.

Cutaway:
In film, a cutaway is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cut back to the first shot, when the cutaway avoids a jump cut.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutaway_(filmmaking)

Cutaway basiclaly means that when the camera shot is being taken from an angle, a character is cut of this is to avoid jump cut.

Point of View:

A point of view shot is a short film scene that shows what a character (the subject) is looking at (represented through the camera). It is usually established by being positioned between a shot of a character looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction. The technique of POV is one of the foundations of film editing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_view_shot

A point of view shot basically means that the camera is shot from the characters point of view showing that the character is looking at something.

Post 4- Script Writing

This is the script that we will be using for our group project:

The potential issues that could take place in the video is that if the characters are wearing different outfits because of shooting the film on another so we need to ensure that the characters wear the same outfit even if the film was going to be shot on another day.

Another potential issue that could take place is if we were to film two characters and in the next shot the charcter was to jump on to the next shot whereas the two characers are meant to be in the same position whilst using the 180 degree rule so that the whole shots is continuous.

Post 3- Continuity

Continuity:

Continuity is a detailed script used in making a film in order to avoid discontinuities from shot to shot.In the terms of media, continuity means that every shot must be continuous and accurate for example, a plate full of food in one shot and empty in the next shot shows it has poor continuity. Here is a link which shows the full information about continuity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_editing

180-Degree Rule/Crossing the Line:

The 180° rule is a basic guideline in film making that states that two characters (or other elements) in the same scene should always have the same left/right relationship to each other. If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line. The new shot, from the opposite side, is known as a reverse angle. Here is a link which sows the full information about the 180° rule: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/180_degree_rule

The 180° rule basically means that when there are different shots, the two character should be in the same position for example, if 'Person A' was on the left and 'Person B' was on the right hand side and then there was a new shot which will have to be the opposite side so now 'Person A' will be on the right and 'Person B' on the left. Here is an example of the '180° rule'-

   'A'        'B'                                              'B'         'A'


Shot-Reverse-Shot:
Shot-Reverse-SHOT is where one character is shown looking at another character (looking each other) so in the next shot it should be the opposite so then it shows that the first character has its back to the second character. Here i some more information about Shot-Reverse-Shot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_reverse_shot

Examples of my own photos of Shot-Reverse-Shot:

'Shot'

                     'Reverse Shot'

Match-on-Action
A cut which joins two different views of the same action together at the same moment in the movement. so that it doesn't look like it's interrupted when watching the film quite logically. these characteristics make it one of the most common transitions in the continuity style. Here is an example from the movie Traffic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_editing

Rule of Thirds

This link shows more detailed information about the Rule of Thirds:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds

The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections.

Post 2- Photographs to Represent the Shot Sizes that we have previously Illustrated





Extreme Close Ups
This is a photo of an Extreme Close Up we took, this shows that the top and the bottom part of the head is cut off.

Close Up (CU)
This is a photo of a Close Up we took, this shows that there is no headroom 

Medium Close Up (MCU)
This is a photo of a Medium Close up we took, this shows that there is a horizon line and headroom

Medium Shot (MS)
This is a photo of a Medium Shot we took, this shows theres headroom, horizon line and some background.



3/4 Shot
This is a photo of a 3/4 Shot that we took, it shows that there is more background , horizon line, headroom and you can also start seeing the path.

Medium Long Shot (MLS)
This is a photo of a Medium Long Shot, it shows the headroom, horizon line, more background and allowing no walking space although you can see the path in the background.

Long Shot (LS)
This is a photo of a Long Shot (LS), it shows that there is a horizon line, more headroom and plenty of background allowing some walking space.
