This Week ........

This week in Media, we are going to be shooting the last few frames of our movie opening. We will be be using our double lesson on Wednesday morning to film at Ryan house. Its importnat that its in the morning, so it doesnt confuse the viewer, as our first shots were also in the morning.

We will then use the rest of our weekly media lessons to edit and put the footage together. We need to add titles, sound effects and music. We also need to decide wether or not we need any re-shoots.

Mac Suite and Editing

Today we worked in the Mac suites to edit our preliminary task. We got there and we're given out mac account details. We were then guided on how to upload our filming products and given a website link for tutorials to use the program Final Cut Pro. As we started this we had difficulties opening our shots as we filmed in HD which we were told not too, so we had to change the settings of each clip and save them into a new folder. We then finally uploaded all the clips needed and put them together in order. We did realise a mistake had been made in filming, we missed a match on action shot, so we had to cut and and close gaps to make it work. After that we had no more issues and finished our days editing successfully.

Treatment

The core themes of our film will be a zero to hero. With the zero being Keith (Ryan Knight). Keith is a hero who believes he is amongst one of the greats but in fact he is a simple minded, mild mannered brummie, he can’t even save a cat from a tree. The story will see him realise that he is isn’t in fact a good hero when he tries to rescue a cat from a burning building but he fails to do this because his hero skills match that of a tea cup. The film will see Keith turn into a slightly better hero with help from a retired hero.

In our opening will be a long shot of Keith’s house (Ryan’s house) then it will zoom in to his bedroom where we will see Keith sleeping. We will then see him being rudely awakened by his alarm clock and fall out of bed in a slapstick manner. He will then go on to eat breakfast to show that he is a normal everyday guy. After he has ate his breakfast he will then get “suited” up into his hero costume which is just his mom’s dress, a pair of slippers and an afro or a sieve for a helmet. Finally, Keith will proceed into his living room where he is met by his brother who mocks him and beats him up. We will add this last scene because it shows how bad of a hero Keith actually is.
