Last saturady i filmed my opening 2 minutes.
I had to film it abit differently to how i had first planned, as i was unable to get to the location that i wanted to use. Also the quality is not as good as i had hoped, as it started to get dark quickly, which made the shots dark.
My films opens with a shot of The victim walking towards the camera from a very long shot down a narrow pathway. The credits Fade in and out over the shot.
After about 5 seconds, the shot changes to an over the shoulder shot, and He walks away from the camera.
In the next shot, the camera films some trees, then pans to the right slowly to show the victim walking down a path and past some bushes. As the victim walks past the bushes, the attacker can be seen for a second, then dissapears into the bushes As the victim passes.
In the next shot, The victim is walking down a path towards a church, and as he reaches the end of the path, the attacker steps into shot right infront of the camera facing towards the victim.
The victim then turns around, and the attacker steps out of shot.
The next shot shows the victim looking behind him but from the front using match-on-action to make it look realistic. He then continues walking the way he was going, but he is more paranoid and scared. As the victim walks off shot, the attacker walks out from behind a bush at the bottom of the path that the victim just walked down.
The next shot shows the victim walking away from the camera, past some gravestones, as the camer films his legs only. The attackers foot then decends into the shot stamping down on the ground, and the victim looks round to see who is there.
In the next shot, it shows the attacker standing behind the victim, and then in the next shot the attacker is gone.
The victim then starts to run through the graveyard, and under some trees.
He then stops beside a a wall, and the attacker reaches out from behind the wall and attempts to stab the victim. The victim sees the attacker just in time and runs away.
There are some shots of the victim running away, and the attacker running between gravestones and trees from different angles.
The victim then runs around a corner, where the attacker is waiting for him, and stabs him.
The next shot is then of the attacker standing above the corpse of the victim.
That is the end scene of my 2 minute opening.
In my media lessons, i have learnt about representation.
I have learnt that representation is the process of making meaning in still or moving images and words/sounds, or to present/show someone or something.
It is used to describe the process by which an image etc. may be used to represent/stand for someone, something, for example a place or an idea.
I have also uploaded my 2 minute opening onto a compter and have started to edit it.
I have added all of the clips together, and have cut them to the right sizes. Also i have added transitions and effects to certain clips.
In my next lesson, i hope to finish editing, apart from adding the music, which i will make and add soon.
