Week 2-Farzin

Week 2: Remake

In the second week of the completing our coursework, my group members and I were getting into the habit of using different shot and angles. We also knew more about the names of the different shots and angles which are used during filming; this way we found it easier to film. In order to make a remake of a film opening of a movie, we were given many options to choose from; we had chosen the ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ opening sequence. We had chosen this because we found it much easier, not only because of the camera angles used but also because of the props we needed to use in the video. Even though, we had made some mistakes during the filming process, the video overall came out quite well even though it was only our second time making a video. Editing the video did not take that long to do either, as we had previously done it for our preliminary task. After making the video, we had to evaluate the filming process.

Farzin's Remake evaluation

Remake of To Kill A Mockingbird From my experience of remaking the opening sequence of 'To Kill A Mockingbird', I have learnt about many of the different shots, camera angles and how difficult it can be making a remake of an opening sequence. During the remake of the opening sequence, there were many different shots and angles which my group and I had to use in order to get it exactly the way it was in the real opening sequence. From our remake, we can tell that there are certain angles and shots that were exactly the same and even some of the objects used were quiet similar to ones used in the actual sequence. It was quiet difficult for us to make sure that the camera wasn't too shaky during the close ups of the objects or while the camera was supposed to be moving around the objects, as the camera shown in the actual clip was used correctly. We tried our best to get it right and make it look professional exactly like the opening sequence. Overall, we did enjoy our experience making the remake of 'To Kill A Mockingbird' and we hope to learn more about the different shots and angles which should be used while filming.

Remake Evaluation

From making a remake it help me understand they different shots that can be used to create a film opening. In the remake my group has made there was a lot of close-ups of objects and different angel. To know how to do the different angle shot and close up will help me and my group as we will know how to get close-ups of objects and how to get good angles of different shot. Also this was a grate film opening to use as it lets us experience how to focus and zoom at the same time to create a different mood so the audience knows that it is a film. The skill that I have to develop is how to zoom and focus on a object at the same time as I had trouble doing that; and try not to shake when recording as it does not look professional and will make the real task look bad unless is a action sense that need that kind of shot. I think the remake task help me in a way that is hard to zoom and focus on the object at the same time and that is try to use a thri-pod to film as it will turn out to be a shaking sense which is not good for  my main task.

Week 2: remake log

To get to know more shots, we had to create a remake of a film opening so then we can have bigger range of shot in our final film opening. For my groups remake, we wanted to do Juno, however, when it come to filming there were too many distractions; like for example: people walking by, cars driving, and cars been parked on the roads that were perfects for the film opening for Juno. So we decided to change it, and the the film opening of To kill a mockingbird; which was also a struggle as we needed to get the props for the film opening. The props were a box with with little things like jewellery and colours. The filming part took a lot of time as the box was moving and when we did the writing part the items in the box came out of place so we had to re film from the start. Editing was done by Jabed, as me and Farzin did not know how to edit much. However, I'm creating my own short films to get the hang of editing. Although the remake took long time to make and we had to change our idea like the preliminary task, we still had fun creating it.
