During this week me and my partner have been drawing storyboards for the short film The Encounter. Drawing these storyboards have helped us by knowing what we are going to do for this film. The storyboard has also helped us deiced the settings, lighting and the duration of the scene. The storyboard shows what mine and my partners short film is about which is, me running from someone and going to Chloe for help, before me and my partner started drawing on the storyboards we first made a shot list of the things that we are going to record and the shots and angles that we was going to use, we also decided where the match on action was going to be and also where the shot reverse shot was going to be. For the storyboard me and my partner split it up so that I was doing half and she was doing half. The camera techniques that my group used were close ups to show the persons facial expressions and how they react to what the other person has to say, we also used mid shots when we done shot reverse to see some of the persons body language and how they react to what the other person has to say, we also used a long shot to see what the person in the scene was doing and how they was act to something they saw or done, we also used things like match on action, shot revers shot and 180 degree rule. The editing techniques that my group planned to use were fade in at the beginning and a fade out at the end this shows when the film is about to begin and when it is going to end, we also decided to use quick cuts during the short film to make the film have more suspense and be more interesting, this will then make the audience want to watch this short film as it will not be a film that has the same shots for a long time, some of the shots will be fast and some will be slow so they will vary in speed so that the audience will not be board. In the short film i used match on action when Chloe opened the door, i also used shot reverse shot when me and Chloe was having a conversation, i then used 180 degree rule by ensuring that Chloe was always on the left and that i was always on the right.
During the summer I enjoyed the following films The peeples. The reason why I enjoyed this film is because it denotes me as a person, as outgoing, spontaneous and crazy. The things that i enjoyed about the film was that in the beginning of the film the main character Wade was singing to young children about how to say when they need to go instead of going in there pants. The other part of the film that i really enjoyed is when Wade finds out that his girlfriends family does not know anything about him and he also finds out later on in the film that his girlfriends family all have issues.
Another film that I enjoyed watching during the summer holidays was Think Like Man 2. This was an enjoyable film as when the group arrive in LA they straight away split into groups of girls and boys. The funny part of the film is when the boys and girls end up in jail, the reason why this is funny is because they all end in jail because they all end up going to a strip club by accident, and then end up having a fight with the staff there, in the end they go to jail and stay the night and end up missing the time for there friends wedding.
This is the jail scene with the actor Kevin Heart.
The song that I loved listening to during the holidays was a remake of John Legends All Of Me by Jah Cure, the reason why I liked this song so much is because the lyrics are beautiful to listen to and it is a song that just relaxes me and makes me feel good about myself, another reason that i enjoyed this song is because it has a reggae beat as the tune instead of John Legends tune, this is something I can relate to as I mostly listen to reggae and other things like that. One more thing i like about this song is that you can play it as loud as you want and would like to repeat the song over and over as it just has a very nice and relaxing sound to it.
A TV programme that i liked to watch was love and hip hop the reason why I enjoyed this is because it was very entertaining for me as there was quite a few arguments between some of the girls as one of the girls boyfriends cheated with her friend and then got shot by another person on the street. This programme was quite good as there was one episode when one couple made a video but then a porn company got hold of it and changed it into something that it was not supposed to be, after that all of there friends saw the video that the porn company changed the video to and all of there friends were disappointed at them as they never expected something like that to come from the girl especially.
The website I most used during my holidays was facebook as I went on holiday and wanted to keep in contact with all my friends and family I like facebook because it is easy to talk to people, you can now video call people and also voice call people so if I ever wanted to speak to my friends without typing i would just voice call them and talk for hours. The reason why i like facebook is because i can add pictures when ever i wanted to and also post a statues about what i am doing during the day or during the night.
The story in the news that most surprised me was when the black boy in America got shot and killed by the police, this was very surprising as the police was never prosecuted for shooting him. Fox news represented this as the police officer was fretted and that is why he shot the boy, Fox news is quite racist as they represent the boy as being fattening to the police officer where as from other stories the boy apparently did not do anything him and his friend was walking in the road and the police man told them to get off the road. BBC news represents this as just facts they just want the facts and that's about all. Another disappointing thing about this story is that when an black American reporter was doing his work and speaking about this to other people the man was then arrested by the police.
