I really like the area at RMIT parallel to the classroom. The small area with the wall mounted speakers. I am really keen to include those speaks in my little clip. In the scene I really want to explore actor movement without moving the camera. I was thinking of shooting a scene of someone spacing a room whilst being distracted by the speakers. I want to use as little amount of shots as possible whilst still shooting a complex shot. LOCATION Area with the speakers Used steps and concrete collumn to block view SOUND/DIALOGUE Folly – steps, static noise, sound … Continue reading Ideas 1.0

Here is an index of posts for assessment two. Deconstruction post Making/Reflection – Action Sequence 2.0 Making/Reflection – Sound Exercises

I have decided to combine the posts about the two sound exercises that we have tackled so far. LENNY EDIT I have always wondering how hard it would be to sync audio for a film. I always assumed that the person making the folly sound would try to make the sounds whilst watching the footage. I am however, completely sure they don’t record folly before filming or before planning what is going to be shot. Despite this I was actually pleasantly surprised with how my Lenny edit turned out, despite the obvious lack of cohesion between footage, folly and dialogue. … Continue reading SOUND – LENNY EDIT / 2 LINE SCRIPT

After last week’s screenings of various student’s action sequences I was inspired to shoot a secondary version. Unlike my rushed original attempt I spent some time planning this sequence and feel it’s a much more technically sound clip. My second attempt of the action sequence depicted me hanging up a coat. After reviewing my original action sequence, I noticed my shot selection and basic framing was very poorly executed. The POV shot of me looking down at my shoe and the wide/mid shots of me walking basically had my shoe completely out of frame and basically looked terribe. I wanted … Continue reading Action Sequence 2.0// Rule of Thirds Application

The scene that I have chosen to analyse is from the Safdie Brother’s 2017 film Good Time. At this point in the film, Connie (Robert Pattinson) has broken his brother out of police custody in hospital and asks a lady he recognised from the hospital shuttle bus if he can use her phone. I chose to analyse this scene for a number of reasons. I believe the Safdie Brother’s use of focusing, differing and combined colour temperatures, framing, folly and soundtrack amongst a host of other filmic techniques are all used expertly to build suspense in this scene. The opening … Continue reading GOOD TIME – Scene Analysis
