Another go at cuts and transitions 
Before we started think about filming our coursework i decided to have a refresh on some of the cuts and transitions we have previously studied. As we had a break from practical work due to exams i thought it would be a good way to re familiarises myself with premier pro.

Recreating a Love Actually scene

Recreating a Love Actually scene EVALUATION: Firstly i decided to keep the mise-en-scene very similar to the real scene in Love Actually therefore all cast costume was smart; the prime minister and Terrence were in suits and Annie, Pat and Natalie were in smart clothes. Again i wanted the character expression and movement, make up and setting very similar to how it was in the original scene as i believe if any element were different to the original scene it would alter the narrative. The lighting was hard to construct as for half of the filming i used natural lighting and for the second half we had to use the remaining natural light and then introduce some artificial light which did not work as well as planned as you could clearly see where the light was pointing at.

Coursework - final idea

final idea  - Everyday this boy takes a pill to stop his nightmares - or that is what he thought  - The man has to take his pill at "9" everyday but takes it late - at "11"one day and Instead of going from the good to the bad quite drastically, i could possibly build it up by the man doing his normal routine e.g. going on a run and then he sees a corpse for a split second, then a shot of his face and then the shot goes back to where the corpse was but its gone.  i could possibly shoot a scene where we see what is happening through the mans eyes but then cross cut it with what is reality - Then the next day he could decide not to take it and he has the major nightmare where everything goes wrong and he is finally able to see what is happening in reality that the pill just suppresses him from seeing what is happening in real life.                    Wakes up in nightmare -  Walks outside normal Sees ...
