Pitch

Dear All

Please can you send me your group blogs you have set up for your production work that you have completed today in the 3 hours of lesson time.

I will be timetabling 'Back on Track' sessions (basically P16 detention each week til you catch up) for any groups that have not used the time productively and are unprepared to pitch their group film ideas next week.

Your homework is to have the elements below ready for Monday - as a group - to record and edit a video pitch for lesson on Monday P4, similar to what you see here with the A2 students:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5qe88kPW8Fs 

This will be a presentation of each member of your group working through the comments and editing the cut aways to examples of:

Your 2nd Mood Board for your final film

What type of sub genre it is (i.e. Psychological Thriller, Crime Thriller)

Locations you have found that are suitable

What your opening scene/sequence will be (Trailers of films you are referencing (min of 3 SPOILER REVIEWS!)

Images of props, costume, and 'character-types' you will be using

Evidence of your target audience research into 10 Thrillers Audience & BBFC research Guidance & examples & how you will appeal to the age and gender

Footage or images of the type of font (look at dafont) and style you will be using (again what suitable Films or TV shows you are referencing - min of 3 ICONIC DIRECTORS/TITLES SAUL BASS etc...)

We will be doing this in class so you will have 1 hour on Monday to make it so make sure you have the content ready to build it. Seems a lot, but remember this is actually between 3 of you.

Your next Production Task is to complete the remake of Parity

EDITING TERMS

_________________________ is a film technique wherein one character is shown looking (often off-screen) at another character, and then the other character is shown looking "back" at the first character.

An _________________ is a popular editing technique associated with the continuity editing system. It is based on the premise that the audience will want to see what the character on-screen is seeing. The ________________-begins with a character looking at something off-screen, there will then be a cut to the object or person at which he is looking. For example, a man is looking off-screen to his left, and then the film cuts to a television that he is watching.

______________________ Two successive shots joined so as to create a strong similarity of compositional elements (e.g., color, shape). Used in trasparent continuity styles to smooth the transition between two shots.

A ___________________ is a cut in film editing where the middle section of a continuous shot is removed, and the beginning and end of the shot are then joined together. The technique breaks continuity in time and produces a startling effect. Any moving objects in the shot will appear to jump to a new position.

____________________ is an editing technique used in films to establish continuity. In a cross-cut, the camera will cut away from one action to another action. Because the shots occur one after another, ________________ is used to suggest simultaneity of action. However, it can also be used to link significant actions that do not occur simultaneously. Suspense is built by using _______________. It is built through the expectations that it creates and in the hopes that it will be explained with time. ________________ also forms parallels; it illustrates a narrative action that happens in several places at approximately the same time.

In film, a ____________________ is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cutback to the first shot. ________________ usually do not contribute any dramatic content of their own, but help the editor assemble a longer sequence. For this reason, editors choose cutaways related to the main action, such as another action or object in the same location.[1] For example, if the main shot is of a man walking down an alley, possible cutaways may include a shot of a cat on a nearby dumpster or a shot of a woman watching from a window overhead.

In film, an _________________ is a shot of part of a scene as filmed from a different angle and/or focal length from the master shot. Inserts cover action already covered in the master shot, but emphasize a different aspect of that action due to the different framing. An insert is different from a cutaway in that the cutaway is of action not covered in the master shot.
