Media Coursework: Editing

I have completed editing my film opening today. I have edited my film so that it will follow a liner style. I have also added the non-diegetic music that will be playing over scenes that do not have dialogue . I have also edited a shot reverse shot into my film, I had to film the conversation the two female protagonist have during the film twice in order to incorporate this into my film. I felt that a shot reverse shot would be best as my film has dialogue and a shot reverse shot would make it easy for the audience to follow the conversation that the two protagonist have.  Whilst I was editing I was able to add the opening film titles so that my opening looks professional and is credited.

1. Long shot
2. Close up establishing shot
3.Long shot
4. Cut to over the shoulder shot
5.Close up of photo in protagonist hand

Media Coursework: Garageband

I have used Garageband to create score for my film opening. I used a digital keyboard to create the soundtrack for my opening. I was able to use different types of instruments  in Garageband for example I was able to create a guitar riff with the piano score that I had already created. As I am not a piano player myself so I asked a friend of mine who is very good at playing  piano  to help me compose the music for my film opening.

Media Coursework: Filming

I started the filming for my film opening this weekend. I have filmed all of what I needed. When filming I filmed the scenes in my film opening several times and in different styles so that I would have different styles that I could choose from when it comes to editing my film . I have uploaded my film into Final Cut Express so that I can start editing and watch back all of the scenes that I have filmed and see if I need to re film any scenes.

Media Coursework: Location

There are two main locations that are being used in my film opening the first is inside of the protagonist female's bedroom:

 The second is location is being filmed outside as I think it would be best if there is more of an variety of locations in my film.

Media Coursework: Script

I have written the script for my film opening and have decided to stick to my ideas and story line. This is the script for my film opening:

MY FUNNY AFTERLIFE SCRIPT :

Characters:

-Sascha.C as Crystal

-Georgie.F as Holly

Scene 1:

-Crystal blinking and covering here eyes as bright light appear in her room.

-Crystal looking shocked/ dumbfounded as best friend Holly (who recently passed) stands before her. (Bright light shining over head)

-Crystal reaches for Holly to feel if she is real.

Crystal: *Screams loudly* (after she touches her face)

-Holly reaches out and covers Crystal’s mouth

Holly: Shhhhh! Calm down and let me explain!

-Crystal still in (shock) calms down, but is still panicked.

Crystal: B-but you’re supposed to be dead!

Holly: Well… Yeah. Technically I’m still dead.

Crystal: I-I don’t understand!

-Crystal and Holly continue to talk. (Voice over)

End scene.

Scene 2:

-Crystal and Holly walking down the street.

Crystal: Let me get this straight… you’re a ghost and your soul can’t leave earth until you wrap up unfinished business?

Holly: Weeell. Yeah. That’s what I think anyway. That’s how these things work.

Crystal: And I’m the only one who can see you?

Holly: Basically.

Crystal: Huh. Too weird.

Holly: I know now right.

(Voice over)

-Two people pass by and see Crystal talking to herself. They do a double take and look over their shoulder. They give each other a confused look.

End scene.
