Research into Movie Making

180 Degree Rule:
This video helped to show me the 180 degree rule in action and displays the difference between using it and not. Not using this rule could confuse the audience if we were to involve any dialect in our main task, and therefore it is important that we understand and implement this rule when filming our main task.


Camera Shots:
This video showed me some camera shots and the effect of using different shots at different times, for example an establishing shot used at the beginning of a sequence helps set the scene, and extreme close ups enable the audience to see the reactions of actors. This video will help us make a sequence that flows and engages the audience effectively without confusing them.

Editing:
This video shows the importance of editing and how it can make a significant difference to the end product; poorly edited movies are not effective even if the shots, mise-en-scene and camera angles are brilliant. It shows how different speeds of editing have a 'profound effect on the viewer' as do a variety of camera shots edited together. The video displays how this needs to be done carefully as the editing helps to set the scene of a movie. The examples given also show the importance of music and sound effects in a scene to engage the audience which we will consider whilst filming and editing our main task.

Making a good movie: (including lighting)
This video has given me some helpful tips on making a good movie. These tips include tips on lighting which are important in making the movie look more realistic and therefore be more engaging for the audience. The video also discusses the placings of the camera within a scene to get the most effective result, the rule of thirds is also useful in this and will help us to make a reader that engages the audience; the artistic direction will also do this as the audience will be given an insight into our characters' lives through the mise-en-scene. Finally the video has helped me to think about how we can make the actors understand what we want out of the scene, improving their performance and therefore our main task.
