Filming techniques

 The rule of thirds 

The frame is divided into 9 imaginary sections. This creates reference points which act as guides for framing the image.

The 180 degrees rule

Film practitioner

Name: Nirage

• He runs a label publishing company called Outcast and releases music videos. He has worked with many people including Craig David.
• He has worked with the BBC and produced documentaries as well as TV series such as 'Our Girls'.
• He has also worked with Asian Network radio station.

Camera tips:

• To focus on light you should look at the aperture, ISO and shutter speed.
• To reduce grain you should increase aperture.
• The frame rates need to be 24 per second
• Shutter speed needs to be 48 or round it to 50

Sound tips:

• You need to get a boom and get as close as possible to the person talking.
• The sample rate needs to be 48 kilohertz
• The Bit rate needs to be 24 bits a second
• The file needs to be in WAMs and not MP3 because the sound gets compressed and should be avoided.

Feedback

New dawn studios talked with a film practitioner about our film and what the plot constructs. We were told to change the protagonist from the tour guide to the main character Sophia, because she is the director of the film and it would be better if the story unfolds how the script does. This makes the audience unknown she is the protagonist and also makes more sense.

From this feedback we did not want to change our protagonist as we wanted the tour guide to have a bigger role in the film.

Horror film poster ideas

This is the font that might be in use for the title of the film.

Mallory, the main character will be in the front of our poster having long black hair and wearing a simple dress.

The back ground of the film will be all black with only just a spotlight shining down on Mallory.

The logo of the production will also be in the  poster but at the bottom.
