Blog update

Apoligies for lack of updates I was on a geography trip!!!
Last week I uploaded my storyboard for the clip.
Me and my group have recently edited the film on Final cut but firstly we had to upload it to iMovie and transfer files across to final cut. This allowed us to edit sound and crop clips to match up the match on actions. and burnt it on to disc via IDVD, then the next lesson we stood up in front of the class and introduced our clip and answered questions whilst listening to constructive critism.
This week we watched all the Preliminary tasks and provided feedback
 to each of the groups on whether or not they stuck to the task and provided the relevant shots and didn't break the 180 degree rule.
This enabled us to understand the negative aspects of our film and the positives, overall it will help us with the final film at the end of the course becaue we will understand the elements we have to work on for example in our case the volume of the diaglogue was apprantly to quiet but was definetly the loudest out of all the groups. It might seem bias but its true.

As preliminary task

hi there, this is my media preliminary task and this is the first part of it my definitions of Match on action, Shot reverse shot and 180 degree angle.

Preliminary task
Match on action
A cut which splices two different views of the same action together at the same moment in the making it look uninterrupted and continuous allowing the film to look more realistic. This makes this style one of the most common transitions to connect two frames because of its continuity style.
An example from a film http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aSTIytBH1I a short clip from the film Traffic.


Shot reverse shot
Two or more shots edited together that alternate between characters usually when a conversation is taking place. Over the shoulder shot is often used in this situation because it means you can see the facial expressions on each of the characters.
An example from a film http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or0iFnq6Apo from Rocky 1 and it is 1:40 minutes into film


180-degree rule
The 180 degree rule can be used to disorientate the viewer by showing something e.g. 2 people speaking to each other face on then the camera switch’s to the other side and the it appears that the subjects are facing the same way. This can be very effective if the aim is to confuse the viewer and create enigma.
An example in a TV episode is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_ESeEZD_OY from Friends (0:07)
