For our Preliminary match cut exercise we had to create a short film of someone going to someone and having a short conversation. The requirements of our film was a match-cut, shot reverse shot and the cameras had to obey the 180 degree rule.
The name of our film was ‘starr nine. We didn’t think too much into the story line but we decided to have a basic one just so our film had a bit of narrative. A girl was running into a building to meet some onto to give them something precious. Whilst filming we came across difficulties, because we were filming Jasmin running up the stairs through the window but there was a reflection of the camera crew. So we had to change the angle and the high to the camera so it minimised the reflection. We took several shots of jasmine running up the stairs so we were a bit to create good match cuts. We filmed jasmine running up the stairs from the front, from behind and her shoes. We wanted a variety of shots. One of the match cuts we used in our film was Jasmin running up the stairs through the window then her running up from behind then a clip of her running up from the front. We were still new at using the software so editing it to make a slick match-cut was difficult for us. The timing on the match-cut was not good and it speed up during it so you could tell another clip was being used. We used the razor tool to help us do our match cuts, and to cut out certain parts of the clips we didn’t want.
We found it quite hard for us to make our film flow , so we had to cut quite a lot of bits out to improve this problem this made our film a lot shorter than we originally planned. Our shot reverse shot involved close-ups of the two characters in the film. We had close ups of their faces as they exchanged dialogues and gestures we cut from one character to the other, we done this whilst obeying the 180 degree rule. When filming we realised the camera didn’t have a ‘Boom’ attached to it so the sound quality wouldn’t of been great, so we had minimal dialogue in our film ‘You got the stuff’.
We also added sound and titles on this film. We used Live type to create the titles. We had a plain black background with white thin writing with a faint white shadow. This title created an eerie mysterious effect and I think this worked well for our film. The sound was basic, we created it on soundtrack pro. The sound we composed repeated for the first half of the film we had the sound effect of a shot gun when the titles appeared I think this shocked the audience and kept them alert.
Overall I think the filming and editing of this film went reasonably well considering we have not had a lot of practice with the software. If we was to do it again I think we should of filmed a larger variety of shots and we should of added more titles.
