shot practise Foundation Portfolio

 We tried practicing a one whole shot that is inspired by 1917. We realised through this that timing is going to be really important but also holding the camera very steady so that we get nice smooth shots; especially when moving angles.

During these shots I was talking Samuel through what those different angles would be and the timing at which he would move.




These are the shots we got on film night. We did a few practice shots at our initial location but turned out super grainy due to low lighting. We played around with the camera for a bit but there was still too much grain. It was useful though as practice runs to get Samuel used to the camera movements and the actors used to their roles and what they would be doing.




We then went to our second location which had much greater lighting and left us with much clearer and greater quality. This is a practice shot we got before we did any real shots. Once again we were walking through to make sure everyone was on the same page.

  Preliminary Task 2 – Treatment   Niav Rice   AS Media Studies     A TREATMENT FOR AT BAY   SNN FILMS – NIAV'S TREATMENT   6/O4/2022     It is proposed that the film will be of 1.30 to 2.00 minutes in duration, and that it will be filmed at Niav’s house as it fits the warm and welcoming yet eerie feeling we are trying to accomplish . This film is a home invasion film and therefore requires a home that seems safe but also causes an uneasy feeling once inside. This location is also suitable as I know where everything is, including lights and power sources which will come in useful once filming. It is also an easy location to get to as all our cast and crew are on their restricted licenses so this will not be a worry.     This film will include the following conventions of thriller films:   Symbolism/iconography --> The women will be dressed ready for bed symbolising her vulnerability and weakness; this is a character the au...
