11th October.
We have completed shooting and were ready to begin the editing phase but unfortunately due to some technical problems we were unable to begin the editing. I was handling the shooting phase of the assignment whereas Kamran and Afia had come up with the story and dialogues, and Saad opted to act for the film, but we all chipped in and helped each other wherever needed. In short, all of us played a part in shooting and making the storyboard and shooting the film. Most of the shots had no mistakes, however some did for example, some shots would have worked better if they had been shot closer while with other shots the nose room for the character had been cut too tight during shooting. Also, we felt that some important details of our characters were also missing i.e the attire and the set (or the room) for shooting the film should have been more planned and meaningful. We will keep these mistakes in mind for the next assignment and hopefully this awareness will help make the film better. Also, the group felt that some of the camera angles were not too professional for a few shots so this is another area we will focus on with our next assignment. Now what’s left is the editing phase and after that we will be able to begin our next exercise. We are now working on a new script and hope that it goes better this time.
There is no need to say "more" better, better is fine.
ReplyDeletethe correct spelling is mise en scene
ReplyDeletethe 25th Oct post appears to be incomplete.
The video:
sometimes it helps to watch the finished piece with the sound turned off.
The camera could be steadier
it might have been more effective to show the spitting scene up close, that is if you intended to make the character appear disgusting or uncouth you may have preferred to show it in breathtaking detail.
Also I believe the correct term is "nose room" and also "lead room" not "speaking room."
Perhaps you could practice editing over the winter break by improving the titles for this practice film and adding music.
