In this blog i will be talking about the following:

A second by second look at my video including titles and dialogue.
Looking at scenes from films, talking about camera angles.
Titles in films


With me doing media for 3 years before this assignment i know what is important in planning a short little video even if its just for ten seconds.
usualy you would write a propersal or a pitch that gives short little details information on the video such as :

Name
genre
Plot
Length
UPS ( ultimate selling point )
budget

After pitching your idea in a propsal the idea will either get turned down or accepted, at which point you then can go on further planning and start scripting.

after the scripting process you then do a detail plan of your film, usualy shot by shot but seeing as this project is only ten seconds long i am going to do it second by second.

Fade in to title: Fps chad : Fade out
Opening shot : Long shot of a sniper looking at two people
Second  shot : cut to FPS shot of People of the two people talking
third shot : Long shot showing chad firing
Forth shot : Cut to chad changing weapon and running up to the two grunts.
Fifth shot: FPs shot of grunts again that pan down to the floor to show a grenade at there feet
Closing Title : "Dont use sniper rifles, There for pussys"

Now i have timed this and edited it together and it is ten seconds in all.

With me using a program recording a game and not using a camera, i have had to do it a little diffrent.
Using fraps i can change the following :

How long to film for.
Hoq many Frames Per Second are recorded

The more frames the bigger the file is, i recorded one little 40 second short and it was 3.4GB and running at 40FPS.

In my next blog i will talking about the editing process of my video.

Now for this next bit i will talk about some scenes from films:

Now the following scene is from Amercian history X, which i watched for the first time the other night.

Now some little details in this video really caught my attention.
It looks like the whole scene is filmed using a hand camera which is very unlike professional camera men accept if they aimed to do it.
Its in black and white too mainly to set the scene as a past as something that happend in the past.


Now each film needs a title.
These title may relate to the film plot, the charcters or a single moment in the film that happens.

For example, the scream films dont let alot into the plot and the only way it can relate is that in the film people scream before they die.
when thinking about titles for my film i wanted it to be named after the charcter whos eyes we are going to see through.
In this case i think the title for my film is FPchad, minaly because it is a first person view of someone called chad.

Just for fun i am tempted to make a series of little 10 second shorts of this chad charcter, so in a way the film i am making for this assignment is a little trailer for a further project.
