filmmm, feedback please :)

Looking at the BBC interview tutorials.

Because we are making a short film about interviews, Phil shown us a few of these tutorials from the BBC so i thought it would be helpful to look at them myself also.

This interview shows things like shot size and framing etc and also how to set up the camera, this is also helpful because it teaches you wether your working in a team or on your own.

This video is very useful because it shows the importance of keeping the continuity of keeping all your shots the right way. Its called it crossing the line trying to keep it simple. This is a major part of how to make our video because if we didnt keep to this our audience wouldnt quite understand our film.

This video is about locations, how to set up, where to set up and the key things which need to be done. It shows how to use the light and how to achieve good sound.

Over all i think these video's from the BBC are very helpful these can be found on the following link:

Character profiling Deano and Julie.

Basically this is my take on character profiling for Deano and Julie. Just to show my take on character profiling.

Deano looks like an angry type person who is usually in a group. Usually alwyas getting together with all his other football following friends. He's also in
the pub quite alot. He is always in his football shirt when out of work. He works as a builder. He loves and collects gadgets abit like Del-boy off, Only
fools and horses.
Julie on the other hand is out-going, likes to have all her girl friends round, party alot, shop alot, altogether a proper girly girl. She knows most of
their children, who are 11-13's parents. She is always wanting her husband to do more, particularly to show off, such as decorate the house, especially with
decorations at christmas, halloween, new year. There's has to be the best. Everything has to be good enough for celebrities on a low level budget of course.

Together they are the lead couple at the pub, everyone is their friend. They are a great on-show couple except of course when they get home. When they are at
home alone they argue and bicker almost all the time. They argue over money worries the most, him being messy and messing up her glamourous house and how
much she spends on a day to day basis.

I could see this as a comedy series following this couples very comedic and humorous life. It would go from you seeing them at college and just after which
is when they got together. They got together by always being together at college, they never really got along proper but they always said if they ended up
alone they'd get together, they both went on dates but each got jealous and put eachother off the other person. And here there are around 25 years later.
Still not getting along properly but getting by, there love will always be there for eachother. 

I'll add the photos of the characters as soon as i can :)

shots

This is an establishing shot, to show the location where we was working, this is a good shot except the man walking through the middle, this could be used however if the man was a part of what we was doing but he isnt. We then took another shot like this but without the man in it. This is the shot below.

This is the same shot as above just without the man walking through. I like this shot because it sets the scene, it has a good depth of field and the colours show autumn well. The shade and light also work well.

This next shot is a long shot of the person being interviewed. This shot looks clear and works well however phagun looks more like a presenter because she is stood in the middle of the shot and is looking straight into the camera where as an interviewee should be more to one side and looking from either left to right or right to left, this helps the audience realise it is an interview and feel more a part of the conversation.

This is a medium shot of the interviewee as we have now established who the interviewee is, i dont really like this shot because i think it should be abit higher up so the hands aren't in the shot. The hands can get a bit wavey and distract the viewer and they can also go in and out of the shot which can confuse the viewer. Again the interviewee should be to one side and looking side on to the camera.

This is a better medium shot of the interviewee. The hands are now out of the shot and the audience will find it easier to watch. The face is clearly in focus and the background looks interesting and not all one depth.

This is a close up shot of the interviewee, this could mainly be used to show emotion, as you can see she is very happy. I think the shot should be a little further zoomed out to give her abit more headroom. Also the flowers in the background look a little bright, i think i could change this by playing with the iris etc.

This was the first establising shot where the interviewee walked into shot, i think its a little bit zoomed out but it could work well.

All in all i think our shoot and practise with the camera went well and we got quite a few good shots if the interviewee was in the right position it would have been alot better. For this i have looked at a few interview technique video's from the BBC that phil shown me in a lesson.

Editing

Ive not blogged in a while and have a lot to upload cause ive done quite abit in this last week, but today i am going through editing material and teaching myself new edits and getting used to editing as i will be editing my short film in about a weeks time. Our short film will need a flashback and an interview feel so for this ive thought of black and white blurred edges etc and i am currently working on what looks best and most realisitic. I am working on footage we took last week through getting used to using camera's.
