Second Project for Btec

The Past 2 weeks we have been planning and filming our own action sequences.

The role that I did on this project was the Clapper which was a very important role.

the sequence that we filmed was a Chase Sequence which involved one person being chased by someone else.

I think that this went really well considering that it took us 2 weeks to film the 1 minute sequence but it does give us experience as to what its like to make a film.

the thing that we set out to do was to film an Action sequence using only one camera

The roles that we where given
Me: Clapper
Jack: Director/Camera Man
Ellie Mae: Chaser
Jodie Roberts: Person Being Chased

This video is my edit of the chase sequence


I Think that the project went well despite the technicalities of the automatic Doors closing before we started to film but we sorted that problem out.

The Things that didn't work well where the shaky camera and the first shot of Jodie was a bit too long so that it didn't feel like a chase scene. another thing that didn't work well was the close-up of Jodie looking scared because it looked like a photo and not a piece of video footage.

My version didn't have matching cuts so the action wasn't flowing smoothly so this didn't create the feeling of reality

I also admit that this is not the best editing that I have done but I made use of the footage that we had.
