What next?

The next step for me in the making of my short film is filming on location (in a woods). This will be done in the next 2 weeks. This will then give me enough time to finalise the cut before the deadline so that I can make any slight changes to increase my grade. I will then export the footage from the SD card onto Premier Pro, which I will use to edit it. I also need to find some copyright free footage and sound effects to layer over the footage. Instead of this, I could remove the audio from the footage and film some non-diegetic sounds to import in. This is a factor that I found is limiting when filming the rehearsal footage due to the weather, since when I filmed it was very windy. This therefore disrupted the audio, making it seem less professional. Filming some non-diegetic and Foley sound will add to the aesthetic of the film, since I want to portray strong feelings of fear felt by the character. Emphasising certain sound effects will help me to do this.




I will also have more than 1 draft of my short film uploaded onto YouTube. Each time I upload I will also post on my blog to explain what I plan to change/keep to improve if for the next draft. This will enable me to critically analyse my short film in an attempt to make it better each time. This also will help me to cut it down to the correct length.








I will also need to create title and credit cards for the short film, which I can also do sing Premier Pro. This helps to add a professional and well-though-out look to the film. On top of this, I could also design a logo for my 'company' using Photoshop. This will be an original image designed by me that creates a sophisticated aesthetic to the title and credit cards.

Lesson Plan 2 - Narrative Theory

Image
The task was to deliver a lesson on the topic of 'Narrative Form' to the other film studies class in my year. We had to work with a peer, and create a PowerPoint presentation as part of the lesson, along with whatever else we wanted to do. For the lesson, we created a PowerPoint presentation. In order to do this, we researched 3 different narrative theorists, which were: Tzvetan Todorov, Vladimir Propp and Claude Levi-Strauss. We also then researched and added what their theories are. The task we decided to ask the class to do was an essay question - Apply narrative theory to a range of scenes from one of the following films: 'Singin' in the Rain', 'The Gold Rush' or 'E.T.' Having to apply the different theories to a film or scenes from a film helps to understand how they follow or go against them, and how the narrative is driven.

Lesson Plan 1 - Sound In SITR and TGR

Image
The task was to plan a lesson to deliver to my class. I had to plan the lesson with a peer on the topic of 'Sound in Singin' in the Rain' and The Gold Rush'. To do this, we made a PowerPoint presentation and asked them to also plan an answer to an exam-style question in this topic. When creating the PowerPoint, we researched various types of sound in films, such as diegetic, non-diegetic and foley. We then also applied these to SITR and TGR as a whole, and then to certain scenes. This helped with the planning task as it allows you to make refences to the film in specific detail. These are some examples of the slides from the PowerPoint:
