Reshoots

Close Ups

For our title sequence, we need to film some close ups to break up all the long shots that we have used.

Issue with filming

We couldn't start filming today as the wether is really windy and it would be dangerous for us to do filming. We are going to carry on with blogger today to make sure that we have substantial amount of posts.

We will need to make sure that we let the shop assistant know and give her notice that we will be filming today.

Short film analysis

Research into more posters

The different posters have different audience set for them. It depends on the movie as well as the place where the poster will be shown. One movie can have more than one poster.

Time Lapse Test

We filmed a test shot of a time lapse by filming moving traffic for 5 minutes. We sped the shot up by 1500% and applied widetime effect to it in Final Cut. We experimented by adjusting the duration, decay, amount and mix to help to emphasise the movement of time.

We intend on using the same effects on our final timelapse that we will use in our film.

Time Lapse Research

Because we need to show progression of time between the robbery and the aftermath scenes as the robbery takes place during the day and the aftermath takes place during the evening, we thought about using a time lapse to show this.

A time lapse is a act of speeding up a long-lengthed shot to emphasise the passage of time.

There are many conventional uses of time lapses. Some of these are time-lapses of clouds and the sun, showing the fast movement of the clouds, which an audience would fail to notice if played at a normal speed.

We were influenced by breaking bad in this decision as that TV show utilizes time lapses to show the progression of time.
