Filming Tyrannosaur Swede

Wednesdays shoot of tyrannosaur 

We change the traditional WARP from into a working title film by making the main actors posh and snobby dressing them in suits and dresses and drinking champagne.

Our first screen was to imagine a man shouting while walking out of a bookies , he then proceeds to walk down an alley and kill his dog. We copied this by having Will ( William ) walk out of a door near the gym that had an alley type pathway running down the side , we showed him walking out then talking to his butler and then kicking his dog killing it. 

The second shoot was the funeral of the dog. We filmed this on the front lawn of our school by an ache of willow that looked appropriate for the situation. We had 2 rows of 3 actors with will and his butler ( Thomas ) and a girl to his left and the priest was in front of him. As the priest said his peach will laughed which contrast with the real film as he was crying. 

The third scene showed will running into an app stores and diving under the table , the girl ( Niamh ) tries to help him and convinces him to come up from under the table , he then invited her out for dinner and she accepts his offer. 

When we first shot the scenes we had difficulties with filming because the areas we choose had limited lighting and it was noisy making the audio hard to hear. We solved these problems in the second attempt by making all the scenes in open out side areas that wouldn't be too loud.

We had three scene in which each group member had part to play and a role to fill while we filmed , we had 2 cinematographers , a director , a producer and actors. Before we started filming we all helped out to create call sheets , screenplays and sorry boards to help the process pf filming easier and quicker.  

I was responsible for the screenplays for all scenes , i also helped with filming and directing , i also acted in it as i was the blonde girl ( Niamh ). I then edited my own final cut . 

First time using Final cut pro Prelim

As i used Final cut pro for the first time i learned many short cuts and editing tools to use while editing videos , many of these were very simple as it was my first time using a professional editing program to edit. 

The first thing i did was import my files onto the program. After i dragged the videos i was using onto the editing onto the bar at the bottom , this enables me to move crop and layer them. i learnt how to use the trim tool which meant i could get my video to flow more and cut out any unnecessary and unwanted parts to the videos.

This tool bar made my editing easier. The snap tools made it easier to cut the videos to the exact part i wanted , i was also able to turn the audio off. 

The zoom tool helper me to be able to see al of my videos all at once but also zoom in to specific videos to know whee to trim it.

I leant how to rename all my files and collections , this means that all my files are organised and when i go to save a piece of work it will be easier to find. I named this task Prelim and under a collection called NiamhAS.

When i had finished my video and it was ready to be saved , i edited the size and quality of the video. I also saved it into a folder that i renamed so that it was easy to find. i added tags so it would again be easy to find. i also uploaded my video to youtube.

Breaking the 180% rule:

When the prelim task was completed i had learnt a lot of both editing and filming skills could take away and use in the future. this included how to position a camera enabling you to get the best shot , also how to compose a shot properly. When edited i learnt to use all there tools as shown above , i learnt to use the blade , cropping tools , how to change lighting and how to zoom in and out showing more or less of the timeline at the bottom. The prelim task helped me to understand the basics of both filming and editing and this was very useful to out learning.
