First 10 Shot types of a students final cut



The first 10 shots of the "Full Moon" Final cut are:

  1. Very Longshot- This shows us where the setting of this final cut is, and something about the house.
  2. Longshot- Another long shot showing us the house, but the camera is showing us the side with glass doors, this could make the house look vulnerable and easy to break into.
  3. Medium longshot- this was used to show us the couple leaving a room inside the house, also maybe telling us their in a relationship or something like that.
  4. Medium Longshot- From a camera outside into a window, showing he couple walk past, this gives you the idea someones watching them and somethings bad is going to happen.
  5. Medium Longshot- From behind them inside the house, showing them walk through a corridor.
  6. Longshot- Showing them walking through the same corridor but from the front view, again given you the idea theres someone in the house maybe watching them.
  7. Longshot- Showing us the glass doors again but this time showing the couple walk past them, this shows their vulnerability again and that someone is watching them.
  8. Medium Longshot- Showing the couple from behind as the man is showing the girl to the door.
  9. Close up- Showing the man open the door with a key.
  10. Medium Shot- Showing the couple as the man opens the door, the girl then leaves the house.

halloween poster

Halloween Poster.


The shot used for this picture is a medium longshot, as it shows us the top of his head to his knees, this shot was used so that you are able to see his face aswell as the knife hes holding by his side. The shot was also a low angle shot, making the man with the knife seem more menacing and powerfull. Also in this poster there is a extreme longshot of what appears to be a house. You can tell this is a horror because there is the typical stereotype horror film killer barnishing a knife, and also most horror films are in a creepy maybe deserted house or building.

Exploring A Past Student's Blog.

The student's blog i explored was Roam Hamilton.
Here are a few points i noticed:
- He changed their film title very late on from "Roadside" to "Full Moon" and they actually changed the title the day they finished their production.
Here's the link for this blog: RH - Late change in Film title

-At the top of his page he tells us who they are, and who are involved with the production. And what their current product / production is.

-Then Below this, At the top of his blog there is a link to his Final Cut Called "Full Moon". It is easy noticeable and enables people viewing his page to see the Final Cut of his production easily.
Here is the link to this video and blog: Full Moon Final Cut


-In the opening of 'Friday The 13th' its not common that the young 'scream queen' at the beginning of the film survives. But in this opening the 'scream queen' kills the perpetrator who is a mother grieving the death of her son "Jason". The twist is that "Jason" comes back and is vengeful wielding various weapons. ( Friday 13th)


-He used Facebook to to show people his rough cut, so people would be able to give him feedback, so he can improve on the cut and change things. 
Here's the blog stating this: Eval Q1
