Editing Practical Group of 4

Editing practical:

My teacher have given us a general description of a short movie that we're going to make. It's about two spies meeting and delivering files to each other and we have to plan, film and edit the clip.

This is my story board, the scene starts with Spy A walking and sitting down a bench, filmed at a high angle using medium longshot from behind the bench, then Spy B walk into frame and sit down next to Spy A which is filmed at a high angle longshot in front of the bench. The next scene starts with Spy A looking around, it will be filmed from behind both of the spy's head. Then Spy A checks his watch filmed using a overshoulder shot, then a medium shot and central framing to show Spy B giving Spy A the secret files, applying rule of thirds. Spy A stands up and walk away from the bench leaving Spy B alone, filmed with medium shot from behind the bench, applying rule of thirds. Spy B sit still for a bit before looking around, filmed at medium shot, a close up of Spy B's face to show that Spy B is nervous which might encode that it is the Spy first mission and he lets out a big sigh. Spy B sitting on the bench then stand up and walk away, filmed behind a bush which can encode that someone is looking at Spy B, apply rule of thirds. While Spy B is walking away, the camera zoom in behind his head and when Spy B turns around then two hands appear which certifies the theory that Spy B is being followed.

This is my shot list which shows the detail of every shot and the duration of each shot.

 As a group, we've decided that we will plan the short film by sharing our ideas and mixing our ideas together. Here is a few images of our story board.

So in the opening shot, we've decided with Emma's story board which is the camera track Spy A and zoom in their footstep.

This is Frank's story board and we choose 3 scenes from his story board. Spy A is looking around and fidgeting his hand and vibrating his leg using close up.

We also planned our production schedule and risks assessment.

Reflection: During this whole project, I have learned alot of tips and tricks on how to set up camera for certain shots, I also got a chance to improve my acting skills. I also know how to write a risk assessment and schedule but overall I have improve on the team work department, always finishing my assigned work.
