In our storyboard we used an close up of the hand on the door handle to add suspense to the video and the views, it also makes the viewers wonder what's behind the door. We also used an other over the shoulder shot to see the whole face of the person which is talking and also did an reverse shoulder shot to show the expression on the other persons face and actions. At the beginning of the video and storyboard we kind of used an establishing shot as the person didn't walk into the 'Mise-en-scene' until after a few seconds, so the person watching the video had time to understand the surroundings.

Borrowing A DVD

This video is an all round good clip, but there are a couple of errors and problems. One problem is that there are a few jump cuts and this kind of ruined the flow of the video, if these hadn't of happened the video would of been a well paced and flowing piece.

Another problem we had was what you call "Old Tape Sydrome", this is when an old tape messes up and cuts a little bit of an old recording into the film. This was a shame as it ruined the start of our video and make a funny noise also when it cut in.

There were a couple of faults in this clip, as we talked too fast and we crossed the line. What we mean by this is we started filming from one way and then we filmed from the other side and crossed the imaginary line.
Also we didn't use a tripod so the camera wobbled slightly whilst filming. Next time we make a film we will make sure that we don't cross the line and also make sure that we have a tripod to make the quality of the film outstanding.

So far, we have done storyboarding, for this we had to put together a short sequence of shots to tell a short story. In this sequence we used shots such as: Establishing, Close Up, Mid Shot, Over The Shoulder and Reverse Shot. Whilst filming this we had to be aware of the Conventions of Continuity editing this involve things such as the 180 degree rule which is and unwritten rule that's mean we are not permitted to move the camera over a certain point, this is a good camera shot when filming a horror or thriller but for out scene it is not very appropriate. We have to be aware of these conventions of continuity editing because our aim in our short movie is to it simple for the audience to follow and to make the short movie come across the way in which we intended.
As a while class we make two separate story boards which were presented on the board this was to help the group think about camera shots we did this before we filmed. after this we broke off into smaller groups where we discussed the camera shot further and thought of good ways to get a story across in the way we intended. To follow after we had thought this through we decided to make a short film sequence on a fighting scene. We edited the sequence and discovered what was to a high enough standard to be enter for our final project.
whilst doing our storyboard project set by the board we discover we had made few mistakes these included having a jump shot in our first tape and then we underwent a problem with our equipment, Eg: 'old tape syndrome'  
 In our short film we tried to included all manner of shots these included
. Over the shoulder
. Reverse over the shoulder
. Long shot
. Close up
. Mid shot
We tried to used these to the most appropriate use which in the groups opinion was to  a good standard.
