Task 21: Group - Titles

In the next week up until the roughcut on Friday 22 January you should try to ensure as much footage on the timeline as possible.  You should also include titles and the title of the film even if you haven't completed the animation.

If you have ambitious plans for the film title and/or the title roles then you must start this process on Monday.

Complete research and post on the blog.  Include:

• Example of typeface (s) - connotations - mood, genre
• List of roles in order considering conventional hierarcy
• Positioning of text on the frame
• What is the sequence of titles (where are they going within the two minutes?)  Overlaying visuals (if so which ones?)  or cross cut to title screen?
• Colour?  title screen if using and font?
• Where is the film title going?  What is the typeface?  Is there animation?  How does that fit with the footage in the film? 
• What is your style model (real film) for inclusion of title roles and film title?

Task 20: Group - Editing - Progress (Each person should do one of these)

At the end of the lesson, take a print screen of the Premiere template and copy it into a new post. Bullet point stages you have been through in the lesson and reflect on your progress. Include as many production terms as you can from the program (examples below). Comment on challenges, changes, decisions and then say what you now need to do.

connotations, representation, drag and drop clip onto timeline, non-diegetic sound onto audio timeline, unlink sound and visuals, fade to black, continuity, upload footage to Premiere, D drive, current time indicator, visual timeline, audio timeline, zoom in, cut clips, trim clips, cutting tool, organise, select, drag and drop, time stretch, overlay, edit, compress time, re-arrange, re-order, montage, continuity, duration, shot, cutting rate, media window, transitions, effects, video effects, audio effects, key frame, render, export, work area bar, motion, opacity, volume, balance, share, Mpeg, image control, lightness and contrast, saturation levels, colour balance, adjust hue, intercut, angle, monitor, sfx, freesound.org...

Task 19: Individual - Reflection on shoot

After completion of a film shoot you need to reflect on what you did.  You can either do this as a blog post or record on location as a production log and upload as a short film.  You should aim to do both by the end of the module. 

 

You should upload a couple of clips and/or stills as visual evidence for your points. Complete the following as bullet points:

 

1. When and where was the shoot?
2. What scenes were you focusing on?
3. What was your individual contribution to the shoot?
4. To what extent did your storyboard affect your use of camera and framing?
5. What do you think worked particularly well? (+ visual evidence)
6. What were the challenges of this particular shoot (+visual evidence)
7. How will you use this experience to inform your next shoot?
