Purple Folders
Today we was given our purple folders, which we will be working on in the next few weeks.
We also came up with afew ideas for our main horror film the past week, which is productive.
In this lesson we researched afew titles and opening sequences, which included Blade 2, Trueblood and dawn of the dead.

Evaluation of clip from 'Pendant' - Liam
In our preliminary assessment, I feel I contributed fairly well to all areas. Although Josh did most of the actual filming, I positioned the camera for the upcoming shots, for example at the beginning of our clip, the character is on the 'golden mean' and has plenty of lead and head room. I also took up the role of 'director' as I had to explain to our actor what we wanted him to do. Although we didn't use that many shot types, there wasn't many in the original so we wanted to just stick with the ones we were supposed to and not try to make it too complicated.
I think that we applied the rules of continuity well in our clip. We edited them to fit together nicely which made the clip flow more smoothly. I believe this was helped as we filmed the majority of our clip in one shot, and then when it came to editing, we cut it into smaller clips with other shots in between. We didn't use many transitions as our clip didn't really need any, but we put in a fade in and out at the end to help determine that the clip has ended. It also added a mysterious effect as the final shot is a point-of-view shot, so the fade out makes you feel that you have missed something that is about to happen.
We didn't really need a costume or make-up as the original character didn't have them. For the 'Pendant' we used a small gold chain, and our location was great as it had a bench right next to a pond, like the film we were recreating. Also, the surrounding area set a dim mood and, although it caused a few problems, the rain helped set this atmosphere.
For the planning, I believe we worked well as a team to come up with which clip we would recreate, where we would shoot it and who would be our actor. As I previously mentioned, Josh did the majority of the filming, but I feel that I contributed well to the directing of the clip. When it came to editing, I did most of the cutting and editing the clips together, aswell as putting the transitions in to make it all run smoothly, while Josh was in charge of finding the appropriate music.
I don't think there is much you could do to improve our final piece. We could have taken the time to find an actual pendant, and maybe have shot the clip from a few more different angles.
I don't think there is much I would change for our next piece. We worked well as a team and were very organised on the day. We could maybe do a little more planning as we only found our actor on the day of filming. We will probably shoot the clips from more angles and use a few more shot types aswell. Overall though, I think that we did well and there isn't much I would do differently in our final assessment.

Evaluation of clip from 'Pendant' - Josh
I feel that this 40 seconds or so that was created from the film 'Pendant' showed many different skills that I possess, including ones like a a steady shot, for example in the beginning scene when our actor is walking into his lead space and the camera pans comfortably, also this shot is framed well, having him in good space at all times.
In our clip, I used a variety of different shot types, including a mid-shot, long shot, over the shoulder shot and a close-up. We used different composition skills such as various fades.
I feel that our final clips shots flow well together, and we apply the rules of continuity editing well, with all the shots making sense and following eachother. In editing we decided to add two fades, A fade in and a fade out which link with eachother, and I think this was a very appropriate transition to add into our peice, as it clearly shows when the story ends and the credits start.
My 40 second clip shows that I can select my content well, as appropriate costumes, props, locations and actors were used. The costume we used was very much what we would expect a 'normal' person to be wearing, and the prop we used was a gold necklace, much like the one in the film. The location was also good, as the water and trees around set the atmosphere. Our actor was appropriate in that he played his character and emotions well.
I personally feel that I contributed well to all areas of this film, including the planning, filiming and editing. I feel I contributed well in Planning because I found the appropriate actor, aswell as suggesting the location. Also, I mainly operated the camera when it came to filming, and found most of the appropriate angles. I contributed some to the editing, but most of the credit has to go to my partner, Liam.
I dont think that that many improvments could have been made to our final film, as we did all the shots how we were meant to. We probably could have dressed our actor in all black, which is the clothes he is wearing in the film.
When it comes to our final coursework film, I dont think that we will do things majorly differently, as we were very organized when doing this peice. However, we could perhaps look at the weather forecast on our filming day, because it started to rain when we got to our location, which stalled us.
