Update on the FILM

I have now finished most of the titles which I have been creating in Adobe After Effects and will soon start filming for the Action Trailer which the character sees on TV.

Creating the titles

In order to create some good looking titles I needed to use a number of programs, From After Effects to Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier Pro and Bridge. All these programs have helped me to create my titles....

Making of First Title

Evaluation of using these programs:

I had to learn how to use these programs effectively and well, so I had to look online for tutorials and I did some practise shots first (on front page). After practise shots I got down and started work on the opening titles in which I will put up a preview very soon.

In all I think that the Adobe programs have helped me to create exactly what I was looking to do.

Planning My Film

In order to start Filming i needed to create a Action Plan of what i was going to be doing in order to get this film good. So i started work on a storyboard and produced the first 15 frames and posted them static.
Link To Story Board
I then wanted to add some notes into the Images so i made an Animatic of the Story Board using Power Point.

Animation Training
We had film editing training from a local film maker who introduced us to iMovie and told us how to edit and work around iMovie. After the training we knew how to cut and split shots, add transistions and effects to the shots. This was very useful becuase we didnt have to work out how to use the program, not only that but it also provided us with advice from an experienced film maker.

180 Degree Preliminary task

Obeying the 180* rule

We decided to do an experiment to test the 180* degree rule to see what it was like and how to creatively capture it. So what me and Andy did was use figurines to make a conversation and obey the 180* so the camera could only stay on the same side of an imaginary line goin through the middle ( you could also see it as switching shoulders between the characters if facing each other).

What have I found from doing this experiment?

I have found that in order to make your shots look normal you have to keep your camera on the side. I will use what I have found in my film if I have a conversation.
