Preliminary Movie Task & Evaluation

In a scene, usually one involving a conversation, a line keeps the camera on one side of the characters at all times. This is usually done for the benefit of the audience as it's good for continuity that the characters are on their right sides throughout the entire scene. We followed this rile ans used them heavily in conversation scenes. A match on action is an editing technique used to show the focus within the scene but cuts to and back to the overall scene in order not to break continuity. We included a match on action the show the transfer of documents and to show the intense countdown of the bomb. Both effects create a certain amount of atmosphere depending on the genre of the movie which adds to the overall performance and effect of the movie. The Translation from storyboard to filming worked very well, having put a lot of effort into the storyboard n terms of; location, feelings of the characters and how they would be feeling, emotions on the faces of them especially in close ups and so on. This planning ahead also worked well when it came to the editing. Discussing as we were planning the storyboard and while we were filming helped to build up ideas of what we wanted to put into the movie after shooting it. I learned that editing is a tough and lengthy process, to bring together the right transitions and sounds to create the right atmosphere for the movie that the genre is in. In the opening scene, We intentionally tried to make the character seem nervous and uncomfortable with something the audience is unaware of yet.
