This is our behind the scenes video of our first shoot. Overall I think it went very well and we were all very determined to achieve as much as possible through this shoot. We each took on roles to make this as easy for us as possible whilst still chipping in our ideas and everyone taking them on board. I think we've all learnt a lot through this process which will be helpful for our next shoot. For example, we figured out that it's a lot easier to continue to film the exact same shot multiple times instead of stopping recording just to start again. Another thing we learnt was how to efficiently use our time. We could only film our first scene after 12:00 due to having to order the pizza, so instead of waiting, we filmed all the other shots before that one. One thing we had a bit of trouble with, is not having all the props needed that day as Bright Films was unable to make it. For our next shoot we will make sure that all of the props needed will be at the location before we shoot so that we are sure that we haven't missed anything.

X VODCAST4: First Shot
VODCAST
The first shot is very important for a movie. This needs to set the scene for the audience whilst still leaving some narrative enigma. The exposition can be shown through the mise-en-scene. The first shot often shows the protagonist in a variety of different ways, for example, the rule of thirds. I looked at Bridget Jones's Diary (Maguire, 2001), About a Boy (Chris and Paul Weitz, 2002) and Hot Fuzz (Wright, 2007).

X ML3 Thoughts on previous AS coursework films
CROSSWORD
...

This is my favourite film opening. I think the sound, mise-en-scene, cinematography and editing works really well together in order to create this hybrid genre, teen rom-com.
I like how the first 40 seconds builds up that narrative enigma by only showing small aspects of the protagonist. For example this extreme close up shot, and all other shots within the first 40 seconds don't show the audience who the character is.
I also like how it's edited for the clothes to fall on the floor in time with the beats of the music.
There are 37 shots within the first 40 seconds which is great for a younger target audience.

The only aspect of this opening I don't like is the scene where the protagonist gets pushed into the lockers and it gets replayed.
I think that this scene could be done in such a way where it doesn't look so strange by having a different angle because it is quite hard to see what is going on here as the male character is in the way. Also I don't understand what voiceover was used during that point as it sounds like they didn't finish what they were saying.
