Here, a SnorriCam is used. This is a device attatched to the character (although it is not visible) which gives the effect that everything around the character is moving! We are hoping, as a class, that we could fashion our own SnorriCam which we, and other media students, could use.
Here is what it may look like - luckily we have a Res Mat room just waiting for us to ruin it!
In the short film 'Wake', we also see a fantastic panning shot at the beginning. As a group, we are beginnning to think and plan ideas which can achieve a similar shot using things like a skatboard, childs toy train track etc. Hopefully, we can use it in the beginning of our film.
After a discussion with the group, we decided to change our idea for our coursework completely. We are sticking with the idea of an indie/comedy type film due to the results of our surveys (see below) but we're now playing heavily on the shots as opposed to the narrative.
We are currently finalising our storyboard, but now have a solid idea for our coursework.
It will be set in our local sweet shop which is very old fashioned and the jars of sweets will help create fantastic shots.
Depending on the time we are able to get the shop, we'll either film it opening, closing or during the working day and our character will then be cleaning and sorting out the shop. The credits will be made out of sweets.
The soundtrack will begin non-diegetic which will appear as the girl listening to it, as she's interrupted, she removes her headphones and the song becomes diegetic. The song we will use subverts to our character as it is a heavy rap song.

I sent out a survey to 40 people asking their ideas on films.

3. What's your favourite genre of film? (please circle)
Here is my brother's music video from year 13. We really liked the shot where the characters outfit changes as he runs past the phone box. We are hoping to re-create this shot within our 2 minute opening.
Here are a few other shots we are hoping to achieve within our opening:
Today we visited the Computer Learning Centre where we were taught about iMovie. We had the chance to play around with some footage provided by the centre and this is what I came up with.
Here is a video Miss Foster took of us at the CLC.
