research for film opening

In a film opening titles that are usually shown are:
-Title of the film
-Director of the film
-Actors/actresses
- Who is the production company? E.g 'a paramount production'
-Costume designer

I will be including these in my titles for my film

Lesson 4 Filming and Completing the continuity exercise 14/11/11

Naomie and I filmed on Monday 7th November in the Common Room at school. We made sure that the camera was on one side so we followed the 180 degrees rule.We had the camera on a tri pod to keep it steady. We made sure the camera was following the action which is match on match. The task was enjoyable and fun to do.

We finished editing our filming today on Final Cut Express HD. We found Final Cut
Express simple to use and got the task done quite quickly. We mostly used the razor blade tool and selection tool to edit our filming. The razor tool simply breaks up the film to exactly where you want it cut to and the selection tool can select which parts to cut and get rid of, or where we want to move a piece of film to.

Task 2
My partner and I will be filming the continuity exercise. Which will consist of different shots, for example a close up and a mid shot. We have to use Match On Match Action, Shot Reverse Shot and 180 degrees filming in our exercise. We will be filming the exercise in the media department using other members of the class.

Lesson 1 Definitions 31/10/11

definitions
Match on match action: cut from one shot to another view that matches the action and pace of the first shot. it creates an impression of continuity even though you may have filmed the shots at completely different times. there are no jump shots visible.

Shot reverse shot: A shot of one person which switches to another person and back again, usually showing conversation.

180 degrees filming: stays on one side of the action
