Target Setting for Spring Term

Target 1: To make sure that i use a wide range of skills and techniques on I-movie that relate to the film opening that are suitable for the genre.

Target2: To receive some audience feedback on our rough draft of our opening sequence and add in any suggested parts to improve it and to add some copyright free music/soundtrack to the film.

Additional Ideas

Camera attached to the cake coming round through the kitchen, characters shown through peering or touching the cake. Then a freeze frame of those characters.

Have EXtreme CLose UPs of girl straightening her hair and applying make up, then a EXCLUP of bare feet running up the stairs. And then the little girl in fairy a costume bursts through the bedroom door. Then the camera coming out of oven with the cake.

Preliminary Task

Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.

We will be using two pupils from our sixth form to act out a job interview. We have got a set script we would like them to use. We will be using different types of film shots and angles to experiment with. This will help us to prepare for our main piece.

Script:

Pip - Hello, nice to meet you.

Other - Good morning, thank you for coming, please take a seat.

Pip - Thank you

Other - So Andrea, how did you hear about the job?

Moodboard

The picture of the girl has the type of beauty that we could use in our opening, simple, dark haired yet with a bored expression. The picture of the girl in a fairy outfit is also an ideal image, as a young blonde girl would be suitable as the contrast of beauty between the two sisters. The image of the diary looks classic and a brown or black leather one like pictured would be a good idea for our opening.
