180 Degree Rule

The 180 degree rule

The camera can move anywhere within the half circle, but it shouldn't go across the red line otherwise from a viewers perspective it will cause confusion and disorientation, so avoid doing this.

Match On Action


Match On Action

A match on action shot its when you cut during the action to another camera that is on a different angle but it would be showing the same action from the previous shot from the other camera.

The Phone Call Task


Section 1: The Task & Planning

The task of the phonecall task was to plan a phonecall sequence to use the method of how to do a phonecall sequence without doing all the locations at different times. We then had to use the storyboard to draw out the different shots and then to add a dialogue to go with out shots. The shot lists that we got given went in a certain order.

Section 2: Filming & Editing

The reason why the filming process was not in the order of (1,2,3 etc.. ) was because when you are at one location it is more time consuming when you are filming all the shots in that location. We then used the editing software Final Cut to then put the shots in the right order.
My contribution of the production of the phone call sequence was directing and filming.

When i had filmed all the shots I had started to edit the sequence on Final Cut, we had used the clapperboards in the beginning of filming this helped during the editing process as we could put all the shots in the right order and then we could cut the clapperboards out when we had put them in the right order.
Rough-cut is when you put the shot onto final cut without editing it and you just put the shot in the right place.
Cutting on movement is when you cut when the movement of something is just about to start. This gives motion into to the shot.

I have learnt how to film in two different locations and then to edit them together so it would fit well and how to cut the shots a bit shorter so that it would flow more.

Horror Workshop



James Ward from the National Film School Of Ireland, graduated for model making and production design for film and television.
First James put a bald cap on someone so when he was molding his face the mixture wouldn't stick to his hair so he used contact glue around the end of the bold cap so it would stick to his head. James then put on polyvinyl gloves so the silicone wouldn't stick onto his hands. He had two types of silicone that he then measured a cup and a half to a mixing bowl and then he used his hands to mix up the two silicone's together.
Once the mixture was mixed together he used two plastic tubes up his nostrils so he could breathe once the silicone was on his face, James made sure there wasn't any air bubbles otherwise when you put the plasticine into the mould it would go through the other side.

James then waited for the silicone to set this takes about 15 minutes, he then gets plaster and dips the fabric into water and then places the fabric onto the face in a criss cross pattern so it stays on stronger he does this until the mask is about half a inch tall.

Once everything has set he told the person who he's moulding his face to then puff his cheeks to take the mask off his face, as there is holes from where his nose was James used a clay to block up the holes of the nose so when he pours the plaster into the mould it wouldn't go through.

James then had to make the plaster so he added the water into a mixing bowl and then added the plaster by getting a plastic cup and then using his hand to siv the powder through into the bowl he then started to used his hand to mix the mixture at first it was a milk like mixture but when you kept mixing it, it turned in a ice cream form.
He then poured the plaster into the mould of the face.

1. What was the most difficult thing working in photoshop?
  • The most difficult thing working in photoshop was getting used to getting all the shapes on a different layer. The way I resolved it was to when i moved the shapes I would remember to put the shape that I want to move on a different layer.
2. What was the most difficult thing about working in final cut?
  • The most difficult thing about working in final cut was making sure the wipe effect would go the right direction. The way I resolved this was I had asked Dave and he taught me how to do the wipe effect in different directions and that I had to do a key frame to the start and finish.
3. What was you most pleased about and why?
  • I am most pleased with the sound effect because it goes really well with the logo and in the right pace of the wipe effect.
