Evaluation of Prelim - The Exchange

'The Exchange' was filmed in order for us to get our first taste of what its like to put together a short film using different camera shots, music and editing.
Our first prelim film didnt include enough of what was required; certain shots etc, not enough number of shots etc, so we had to start from the beginning and we came up with a completely new idea.

There were a couple of things that could have been improved for example one of our shots could have been tighter.

The change of shot between these two shots could have been more smooth.

If we could do this again our group would have made sure we had enough shots and more over the shoulder, shot reverse shot and match cut shots the first time that we had tried to film the prelim. We also would have been more organised with our planning of our first try.

Prelim Task - The EXCHANGE. Final Cut

After Planning, Filming and Editing, here is our final take of an exchange. Enjoy !

The EXCHANGE.

Prelim Task - Editing 'The EXCHANGE'

Using all of the skills we learned previously such as use of Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, and LiveType. we took our footage from the camera into the computer to piece it together taking time collectively to ensure that all our shots match up and run smoothly i.e the match cuts and shot reverse shot.

Some Screenshots.

As you can see in the screenshots one issue we had as a group was getting the levels of sound and the speech later in the short clip at the same level and making everything audiable and clear, but we managed to resolve this using final cut.

Filming the Prelim Exercise - The EXCHANGE.

We filmed 'The EXCHANGE.' on site in our college using a hallway and a classroom.

Prelim Exercise - Storyboard

A second alternate storyboard we came up with for the Prelim Exercise - This one entitled: The EXCHANGE.

Evaluation of the exchange.

This was filmed because we needed to experiment in using different camera angle shots and pickedwhich ones will be using in our thriller opening.
Shot types we used for the prelim were long shot,mid shot,medium close up and an over the shoulder shot. We then added sounds and texts to our video and then edited on the final pro cut.

Funky Fonts

Fonts play a major part to the title sequence of a film and most things in everyday life as different fonts connotate different things. 

Think about it, if you handed in a CV which was written in      

do you think you would get s job ?

so films need to have the right type of font to connote exactly what type of style their film is.

All these fonts come from two different styles:

Serif fonts are generally more traditional and often slightly formal

Sans serif fonts are more informal, modern and friendly
