General Update - James post
As the storyboard is still in progress we are currently thinking about the conclusion to the story. As well as this I am researching point of view pictures as we can use to help with the storyboard and using images identical to the props needed for example the stereo in my car so we can get an accurate images so the storyboard looks professional.
Also I will go and have a talk with reception and security to make sure they are aware of what we will be doing and make sure that they are ok with it, also we have arranged to do the first stage of filming after college when we are all free and it gets dark so we can use the car headlights to full affect.

HEALTH AND SAFETY - Harry & Rosie's post
Health & Safety and Permission
we are starting to discuss health and safety aspects, starting to realise how much of it we have to do!
One of our main parts of the filming is based in a car; this will obviously involve everyone in the car wearing seatbelts and acting responsibly. As well as this it will be filmed when it is starting to get dark, so we will have to pay extra care to the area we are filming in (other cars and people present).
As we are filming in dark conditions we will be using torches on our phones and have some reflective/high-vis cones or items around the area so that people are aware of the filming and therefore reduce any potential collisions etc.
We have asked security for permission to be able to jump over the barriers at college
for filming.
We will also make sure we are careful whilst running through the building.

Match on Action - Stephen's post
Match on action. - Stephen Craddock
Match on action is an editing technique which is used for stability in editing in which one shot cuts to another shot revealing the action of the issue in the first shot. This creates the sense of continuity as the action present on the screen creates a visual bridge which draws the viewers attention. Match on action portrays a continuous sense of the same action because the same action by the character should be the same when moving into the next shot.This video is a good example of Match on action as it explains the processes of what is happening.
This ids an example of match on action from our sequence. Monday 16 December 2013
180 degree rule - Rosie's post
180 degree rule ....
...states that the camera(s) should stay on one side of an imaginary straight line (which is perpendicular to the camera).
Crossing the line could mean that the characters eyelines do not match up - therefore the two characters should remain on the same side of the line. If you do intend to cross the line, (without it looking confusing) you must show the movement from either side of the line.
The rule may be broken if the intent is for effect, such as: to confuse, disorientate.
This video demonstrates how the 180 degree rule works

shot reverse shot - Harry's post
shot reverse shot...
Shot reverse shot is a technique where one character is shown looking at another character, and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.
This clip of 'The Dark Knight' shows shot reverse shot very well.
