Task 1:

Watch a range of examples of single camera techniques.  You should be able to explain the relationship between the cinematic techniques used and the narrative structure of the film.  Are narratives open-ended; non-linear; closed or multi-stranded?  In terms of techniques; shot size; camera angle and camera movement will be considered, along with editing techniques such as continuity editing; cross cutting; montage; tracking shot; split screen; match cut; eye-line match; shot, reverse shot, with elucidated examples to  illustrate each technique.  Technical language should be confidently and correctly used at all times.  Think about the use of the camera; lighting; sound; editing; scripting; building a scene; building a story

Materials List

For rescources and equipment we are going to need :
  • 1 - 3 cameras
  •  tripods
  • editing software
Simply because our given brief is to create a promotional video for Berzerk Productions. We will go to a session at the club and film the activities that are undertaken throughout the time there, gaining different shots and sequences of the things they do with the participants and turn it into a promotional video in the production phase.
We will use a form of camera use to film an action that is happening but continuously from different angles instead of having constant cuts which makes it looks as if it's a completely different sequence. We are most likely to use 2 cameras on tripods and a third person using a camera free hand to gain a different aspect of shots.
We are going to use Adobe Premiere Pro for our editing phase, using the software to cut parts and cue them up, adding transitions, text and effects to create an attractive promotional video for the company.

Crew List

The crew shall consist of myself,and my project partner Ryan Gault,.  We are going to share the participation equally in terms of editing and camerawork; we are both the editors, directors and cameramen.
We are possibly going to get a third person to help with the filming for the free-roaming camera shots as opposed to the two static cameras steadied on the tripods. This third person is yet to be decided on.
Ryan and I are already able to contact each other any time with ease, and if we do gain a third person to help with the filming process we will gain various ways to contact this person and keep up to date and make sure that they can come help with the filming process.
