The Chase: EVALUATION.

For this task I partnered up with Sabrina Yaacub and Isabella Francis. This objective of the assignment was to create a short film show casing some one making a discovery of any kind. We were to heavily feature different camera skills that we have analysed in class such as close ups, panning, two shots, three shots, long shots and many others.

To begin we brainstormed ideas until we came up with one. Our film was going to be about a murder taking place in a suburban home. I drew out the storyboard which consisted of various shots and camera angles. Some examples of the various camera angels that we used include close ups; to determine certain facial expressions to add to the mood and meaning. Other camera angles were used in order to make characters look sinister or innocent, depending on the angle. We made sure to include various establishing shots to show which character was being stalked and who did the stalking.
Another role I played included playing the serial killer and filming. The location that we had chosen was my home. Alas the footage came out too dark, we tried to film again the following day but the problem re occurred.

In order to complete the task we changed the storyline of the film. We adapted the characters from the previous movie we made and developed a sequel to the film. I this I played the victim killed by the ghost of the girl I murdered and Sabrina was going to be the one to discover my corpse. The filming took place on campus in the second floor lavatory. We used fake blood to accentuate the murder. We didn't draw up a new story board for this task.
Through all these trials and errors I learnt a few key factors. I learnt how to adjust the settings on the camera. I learnt that sometimes writers don't stick to their original scripts because of unforeseen circumstances.

The discovery video should be on the Arts and media drive.
