The 180 degree rule is one of the main techniques that should be mastered, whilst making a film. The 180 degree rule is an imaginary line that is set across the posistion of the camera and the set itself. The camera must never cross the the line. If there were two characters partaking in a convorsation, and the camera was set on the left hand side of the characters, the camera must never cross the line and go onto the right hand side of them. The reason for this is because the characters would seemingly switch places. The way my group incorparted this into our film was to keep the camera on the one side of the set. This made sure that everything in the surrounding, as well as characters, did not appear to be on a different side when they wasn't.
The match on action effect is the effect of having two different cameras at different posistions to film the same piece. My group incorprated this effect into our film when myself opened a door. We posistioned the camera first by placing it in the corner of the office and it would follow me to where I opened the door. We then placed the camera outside of the office we used as our set facing the door. The match on action worked well because we could see from two different angles, which transpired into a seemless edit of me opening the door.
The eye line match is when the eyes of the characters who, for example are in convorsation, match each others eye line. This gives the effect that the characters are looking into each others eyes. This helps to create the mood of the scene, for example if the film was of a romantic genre, and the two characters were not looking into each others eyes then it wouldn't have the romantic feeling the scene was trying to create. The group unified this into the film twice. The first time was when Claudia was looking through the window at me. The second ime was when I walked back into the office and caught Claudia in the act. Both eye line matches created tension for what was going to happen next.
The film making process in terms of filming shots in the storyboard went quite well in my opinion. The shots we used were easy to shoot in the set we decided upon. We also found keeping to the storyboard easy and helpful. The way in which we decided to shoot the film was by filming, what we classed as the hard shots first. In my opinion this went well and we managed to create the film quickly and effectively.
The film making process in terms of filming around the college also went quite well. However, at first we did struggle to find a location that would suit our film. We did eventually find a room and that was meeting room four. Although, it was small we were still able to film the shots in the way we had scripted them to be filmed. The shots in the corridor was key to our master shot of the office and enviroment around it.
Adobe premiere was a very simple working programme. In terms of editing, we were able to create seemless cuts and a match on action. The cuts created were vital to our film, but also made the camera posistioning creative. This was because we managed to film in numerous different posistions in a compact room. In terms of sound, we were able to not only make our voices louder, but also cut out unwanted noise. This helped to add more effect because you could clearly hear what we were saying. Another way of in which sound was effective to our film was the use of incidental music. The music created tension and mystery that was key to our film. In terms of transistions we used a scene dissolve and also slow motion. The scene in which we used dissolve made the cut not so obvious to the audience eye. The slow motion we used was when the card was dropped, this made the end of the film very effective in terms of drama because it showed that the card had extreme importance connected to it.
