THE PHONE CALL BLOG POST







Section 1: THE TASK &PLANNING

The task was to make and plan the phone call sequence.
we got given storyboards to draw on and write the script on them to know what we are doing and we are saying.we also got given shot lists and we had to do them in a particular order .i.e. instead of filming them from 1,2,3... we were told/shown to film the sequence 1,2,3,12,4,8,5...

Section 2: FILMING & EDITING

The filming was not done in the right order,but when it is put on final cut the we can make sure that we do put it in the right order. The film was not shot in narrative sequence because, it is easier to film one charactor doing there part of the phone call and then filming the other charactor doing his/her part of the phone call and then in final cut putting them in the right order so it seems that there are two different cameras on two different people but are having the conversation.
I helped film and direct so to give different opinions and advise to how this/that particular shot.
The clapperboards helped name the shots so it was easier and quicker to put them in the right order in final cut for the editing.
Cutting on movement means, that when a charactor is ,for example, turning a door handle you will cut on the door when it is open just a little bite/or when a charactor walks up a hall and to a door you will cut on the moment when that charactor puts his/her hand on the door handle, that is when you take another shot when you are in the room, you take the shot of the charactor then coming into the room, and on editing to make it look like that it is the same action but it looks like that it has not been interrupted.
I have learnt that with the editing process, is that it makeis it so much easier to have clapperboards to help tell you what shot this is so you van put it in order and also nameing the by there shot names because in the editing part you take out the clapperboards and just have the film,so it also helps have the name there as well.

'Match on action' && '180 degree rule'



A match on action, a technique used in film editing, is a cut that connects two different views of the same action at the same moment in the movement. By carefully matching the movement across the two shots, filmmakers make it seem that the motion continues uninterrupted. For a real match on action, the action should begin in the first shot and end in the second shot.

One simple principle when shooting subjects is considering 'the line' known as the 180-degree rule. For some filmmakers and / or videographers this may come naturally, but this is a major principle, no mater the degree of experience or knowledge, that every camera operator needs to all ways consider; otherwise is or her work will appear amateurish.

Turning people into Zombies with James Ward




James Ward, National Film School of Ireland.
Model Making and Production, Design for Film and Television.

Before James does anything else to turn someone into a zombie, he puts a bald cap on their head to protect them from getting anything (plasticine) on their hair, then he puts on polyvinyl gloves to protect his hands from getting dirty. He attaches the bald cap to the head with contact glue that he puts on the rim of the bald cap and on the skin so that it stays where it is.

Then after that, he puts in two types of silicon (life form, skin safe), one blue and one grey, and mixes them together,and then once they have been mixed well, James puts the silicon on the face of the person he is changing. James puts this on the skin first so that it will just come off when dry.

Once the silicon is all on, James then puts plasticine all over it, till the face is completely covered to harden the form of the mask (leaving the nose holes open so the person can breathe).

Once that is done, to get all off the person has to puff up his cheeks and wriggle his eyebrows to release the mask from his face.

Once the mask is off, James then had to use a (silver-free wax clay, soft), to plug up the nose holes so the plaster won't come out of it.

For the plaster, James had to mix water with plaster powder to form the mixture, once that has been made he then lines the mask with a little of the plaster to get the fine details (which is called crystal cal) and then he fills the rest of it with the rest of the plaster.

I like most of these pitchers and thats why I'm heading towards the younger generation in there teens,maybe younger or little older. For example, I like to read Sugar and Vogue, I Watch the Vampire Diaries etc.
I thought that these Pictures would help indicate that this is for the younger generation because, I have put on most of the things that a teen would want/have/will get when older.

You are a Townie! Your job might be a bit boring but it brings home the bacon and helps you save up for those two weeks away to Spain. Your weekends are set in stone – trip to the shops in town, buy yourself something nice, head to the All Bar One with friends, have a laff, maybe go for a club, as long as there’s none of the indie weirdo music.
