Camera Shot List

- New List -

- Old List -

What I have learnt

This task is related to the storyboard, and what I learnt is that it needs to at least matched with it. Our shot list is a little longer than the story board because we have lots of short cuts in the same scene that made it looks like we had lots of different shots. In the middle of filming our opening sequence; we changed plans. As we have filmed before, we then need to update it with the new one, hence why the new updated one is longer that the older one.

1st Cut - Humanoid

This is our 1st cut: 

For our 1st cut, this is good but there are improvements to make to make it better. These are the feedbacks we got:

1. The duration of the opening is a little bit short, so it needs to be longer - 2 mins max.
2. Maybe put on the music at the start so it doesn't feel too quiet and empty.
3. The size of the text are too big; a slight change in size, maybe reduce it a little.
4. The title 'HUMANOID' needs to come earlier in the opening.
5. There is a gap that needs to be filled to make the continuity consistent after the boys walked in through the gate.
6. Might need to slow down a couple of clips - when Michael turned the clone body and when the clone open its eyes - to make the opening not too rushed. 

After we received those feedbacks, we came up with another idea to make the opening sequence longer and edits to enhance the quality; we tried to improve the changes on our 2nd cut.

Props

What I have learnt
Props also important to the final product. It was quite hard to look for 80's props as it's so old and we used the one that's close to look like it's from the 80's. From this task, I have learnt that props really supports the opening sequence and could also represent the characters social class.

Cloning Practice

Fashion

What I have learnt
For this task, we have done research on the clothing that were popular back in the 80's. As we have done big preparation for filming before, for this one, it was quite easy to do. Although, what makes it hard is that, most of us has moved on from 80's clothing. In the end, we managed to gather what we need. The fashion/costume really has a big impact on the opening sequence as it would represent the character and with the style, it could show the time the opening was set. So having the right costume is crucial to our final product.

Location

- New Location -

- Old Location -

What I have learnt
During this task, we were planning on doing it on the old location, but then we canceled it as it was not easy to get accessed because the actors and us would need to catch the bus to go to that location and it's unpractical for us to bring all the props all the way there and back. That's what I've learnt from doing this task, it is that we don't just need the perfect location, but also it has to be easy for the actors and us to access it. The (updated) second location was more accessible and it was a good location to film.
