PHONECALL sequence

section 1 the task and planning

The task was to film a conversation between two characters in three different locations, the phone call is about character 2 delivering a bomb to character 1. Our group got eighteen shots that we had to shoot in order. After we had shot the sequence, we had to edit it in final cut where we had to rearange into a certain order to the sequence to make it look belivable and in real time. In the storyboard process, the shot lists we filmed character 1 in location 1 (shots 1-9) then we moved to location 2 and filmed characters 2s sequence (shots 9-16) then we filmed shots 17 and 18 in the corridor. The reason we stayed in the same place for the of the characters shots is because it saves time instead on filming one part then moving onto a new location then going back to the same location to finish the sequence.

section 2 filming and editing

In the shooting process, the reason we did not film the shots in the narrative sequence was because it would be easier to film all of the shots in that certain location in one go rather than moving to a different location then moving back to the previous location. My main contribution to the phone call sequence was was being an actor where i played character 1 in the sequence. I also took loads of still pictures during the whole production stages for evidence and to put on our blogs. in the editing process, using the clapperboards helped me very much with ordering my shots because i could just drag the shots down in oreder then take out the capperboards, i thought it was much quicker as i would of had to watch each shot and then name them if we did not use the clapperboards. The rough cut is when you have the whole sequence in order without editing it. cutting on movement is when you go to the next shot but it is going straight into the action E.G. taking the phone out of a pocket, the reason we use this is becuase it keeps the audience intrested in the sequence and it can also build up the tension and make it more dramatic. during the editing process, what i have learned to do is make the phone call sequence look belivable and make it look in real time. Also i have learned how to keep the audience intrested and focused on my sequnce by using cutting on movements.
