On friday lesson we took a look at the 180 degree axis rule when shooting a film. An imaginary line is drawn through the subject over which the camera must not cross in order to avoid confusion to the viewer.
We moved on to cover motion direction across the screen, another important factor to learn when film making. We watched a clip of a car chase from the film Bullet, using Celtex we broke the movie down into shots and described them. This was a useful task as it helped to to give a clearer understanding of how films are shot by unpicking them piece by piece.
Using a camera and tripod and working from a script, Mike, Ross and myself filmed the next exercise as group. The film was as follows; a man is walking through the university when his phone rings, he stops to answer but the call is cut off, he tries to ring back but realizes he has no credit, he then makes a dash across campus to the class room where he enters and has a look of surprise, ( we actually missed that last shot ooops) We had to maintain the same direction throughout the film, the direction we followed was from left to right. At times it was a little confusing working out left to right action and as the director on this piece I had to work out the shots and give it some thought and planning.
