Last week of college before Christmas!
Finally got into the Headstart website and got all the information I need to complete my task, now I just have to do it.
Did our first lot of filming for the 1 minute video brief. I decided to put a very rough draft of it together to see how things fit and having seen it so far I have decided that I need more "rat cam" - a longer run in about the same amount of time to add a bit of action. I also have decided that the pan up the signpost is too slow and doesnt stay on the actual sign long enough, so the plan would be to speed the pan and linger longer on the signs. The other pieces fit together reasonablywell. I still have the blood ripple effect and smoke to video. I have also decided that I want to include a visual beating to match the sound and by visual beating I mean a pulsing effect by lighting a certain area of the map. The reasoning behind this is that I feel the beating heart will having nothing to attach to, no visual queue and all the other actions have a sound. With these things in mind I will be reshooting some scenes, this time keeping sound in mind (ie footsteps etc).
The piece is far from finished and I want to re-iterate that this is just a draft, dummy run and that there are pieces missing and still to be included etc. The purpose of this was to piece together the video that I have shot to see how well they fit together and to get some practice of shooting video (first try ever!) so please keep this in mind.
