Car Crash One Shot!
Throughout the three weeks I have learnt about filming, composition, lighting, sound effects and I have also learnt programmes such as Adobe Premiere Pro. From this I and my group were able to create a one shot film. Throughout the three weeks we researched and found inspiration that we gathered together to create ideas for our one shot film.Our main idea was using spot lighting; to do this we used three lights and gels. The reason we used three lights is because the car crash moved to different areas of the room. For example, when the person in the car moved to the centre of the room, the light that was shining on him switched off and the centre light then turned on as he got to where the centre light was pointing.
We also used grey gels, we put more than one gel on each light to make it quite dim, and this helped to set the mood to how we planned. We turned all the main lights off in the studio and tested the spot lights to make sure they only focused on one area.
When everything was in place we practiced about five or six times before filming, this was important to get right because of the timing for the lights and actors. After filming we then went to edit our film using Adobe Premiere Pro to add sound effects, such as thunder, rain, traffic noises, horns, car sounds and etc. We took all the sound out from filming, because you could hear the clicking of the light switches and the rolling of the chairs. Adobe Premiere Pro is also good for diming the lighting and changing different visual effects on the film.
When we were happy with our final edits we then rendered the film as our final. Overall I was happy with our group effort and how our one shot film worked out. I have learnt a lot over the three weeks, especially with setting up and using the lighting. I will now go on to edit the film myself, to enhance the video and to show my own edits.
