Some misc.

Hey guys,

I’ll upload the characters illustration, storyboard, and the itineraries (first filming) soon.
Then i’ll print out the production warrenty form for all of us to sign on the next meeting, and also the talents release forms and budget breakdown.

let’s plan up a next meeting soon, reminder Louis is flying to boston soon guys.

CANCELED

Oh great, today’s filming (part 2 ) was canceled because

1) One of our casts couldn’t make it at the last minute so we had no choice but to postpone the filming.

2) After some thinking, the location we initially had in mind ( RP study block’s exit stairway) to film the scene of the postman and the reception became quite a bad idea. Hence we scrapped the whole thing.

3) Went to inquire about the conference rooms and whether we could use it for filming but they no longer let students use it anymore. So yes, because of this we couldn’t shoot the office scene.

So when’s the next filming date?

Looking back

So, after meeting up with our teammates, it’s a miracle we’ve managed to discuss anything… Now, i’m trying to get the location for us to film in. I wonder if my father’s office will be sufficent to film at. Better ask him soon or i’ll never get this chance again.

An author a day

AN AUTHOR A DAY, from todays onwards, this blog will work in a manner that a member will blog on his or her given day to feed us with information

Pretty useful tips that can be used for the 2nd filming.

FIRST FILMING DATE
30th April 2008
Meeting time : 4.30
Venue : STA lab

DONT BE LATE!

Different types of basic shots to remember that can be used for our film production

EWS (Extreme Wide Shot) The view is so far from the subject that she isn’t even visible. This is often used as an establishing shot.	VWS (Very Wide Shot) The subject is visible (barely), but the emphasis is still on placing her in her environment.	WS (Wide Shot) The subject takes up the full frame, or at least as much as possible. The same as a long shot.
MS (Mid Shot) Shows some part of the subject in more detail whilst still giving an impression of the whole subject.	MCU (Medium Close Up) Half way between a MS and a CU.	CU (Close Up) A certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole frame.
ECU (Extreme Close Up) The ECU gets right in and shows extreme detail.	CA (Cutaway) A shot of something other than the current action.	Cut-In Shows some part of the subject in detail.
Two-Shot A comfortable shot of two people, framed similarly to a mid shot.	(OSS) Over-the-Shoulder Shot Looking from behind a person at the subject.	Noddy Shot Usually refers to a shot of the interviewer listening and reacting to the subject, although noddies can be used in drama and other situations.
Point-of-View Shot (POV) Shows a view from the subject’s perspective.	Weather Shot The subject is the weather, usually the sky. Can be used for other purposes.
