Group: Nine Mile Point - Final Opening

MC: Chase Scene Finalised Soundtrack (Video)

Group: 2nd Film Shoot Reflection

On Sunday 11th March, we went to our carpark location in Tunbridge Wells, for the second shoot. 

We experienced a continuity error of  the weather, but found that due to the full lit circumstances we could colour correct the footage to give the impression of the previous overcast shots.

On arrival to the car park, we met a number of friends with longboards. Therefore, we took plenty of effective handycam tracking shots to enable a final chase scene. We now have multitple shots to choose from, so we will be able to select the ones which we think are the best. We will also be able to have a fast cutting rate and a range of angles in our opening.

Again, we maintained the continuity techniques in our second shooting, and we all feel that every shot has a substancial amount of action at the start and the end, so when we edit all of the footage, there will hopefully be flowing movement between the shots.

Just for fun, we edited together a very quick teaser trailer for the opening of 'Nine Mile Point'!

Group: First Film Shoot Reflection

On Friday 2nd of March, we signed out the equipment and travelled to our location in Tunbridge Wells. When we got there we carefully set up the equipment such as the tripod, dolly and track.


We shot about half of the opening - up to the shot where the protagonist (Jack Lyle) looks over at the city, noticing the power plant (Nine Mile Point) that has caused the epidemic to spread throughout the United Kingdom.


We found the dolly shots incredibly effective and the camera track made the footage look very cinematic.


We conquered the problems we had previously encountered with continuity from our preliminary task, and ended up doing about 5 takes for each shot to ensure we had the perfect one.


To conclude, we all learnt a lot from the shoot, and were very happy with the footage we came away with that day.

Group: Animatic Storyboard

Below is our final Animatic.

Research & Planning - interim grade

Well done, this blog consistently demonstrates excellence in understanding of forms and conventions, media language, significance of audience and you engage with key concepts throughout your research. You are clearly collaborating as a group, using comment function and your practice tasks show that you are using research to develop technical skills. The pitch was convincing and thorough. The blog is well presented and a clear record of your concept development. I'm particularly impressed with the work that you did on sound.

This is currently a high L4 standard for all of you. Keep up the good work, ensure that you reflect on the production process to the end of the edit.

Great work.
