TECHNOLOGY

Camera Work

• Mostly stand still
• Single frame shots
• Use small kids train set to move the camera in a curve
• Keep at table level by blu-tacking it to the table

Editing

• I used Adobe Premiere Pro to sequence my pictures and edit my music
• I imported the pitchers of a USB which i downloaded the pictures onto of the camera
• I shrunk the pictures down in the time line to a size that allowed the characters to look as if they were moving
• I placed each individually picture in line so the program would run through them simultaneously add music and took out the first part of the song to get to the lyrics sooner
• I also got the music from a USB which i downloaded from my personal collection

Evaluation

The process did not go as smoothly as I had hoped. It took a couple of times to get the pace of the pictures right and I did not get to edit as much as I would have wanted to, but overall I am relatively pleased with the presentation. If I had more time to film I would have re-done my first scene again and edited the music to fit the animation while adding sound effects. I believe that in post-production I managed to get everything done with plenty of time so there would be nothing I would change there.

TREATMENT

The sound of heavy breathing stats and last for five seconds then the music starts and the image fades in. You see a close up of an arm completely in black caring a knife. The hand comes down and the knife precise the body and blood oozes out, the hand lets go and the knife stays there sticking out of the victim’s body. The image fads out and as it does the heavy breathing dose as well. The next part of the scene is the image of a detective in a brown coat and brown hat looking at the victim that still has the knife sticking out of her chest, the detective moves around the victim examining the body and the camera moves with him. The scene fades out and as the scene goes dark the breathing starts up again the next part of the scene fades in you see a girl standing in the middle of the shot. To the left side the shot you see half of the killer then the killer moves slowly out of the scene and the girl look around. But as she doses this the killer comes out the other side of the shot behind the victim. The camera zooms into the back of the victim as the killer stabs his new victim and blood runs out. The killer catches her and places her on the ground leaving the scene slowly. The shot fades out as well as the heavy breathing. we come to the scene where you see the to be victim and the detective looking at the dead body the camera rotates around the scene and the fades outs, the heaving breathing starts again. The final part of the scene starts out exactly the same as the previous killing part of the scene. The new victim dose not turn round but walks to the right the camera moves with her. Then the killer comes in from the right side of the shot knife ready the victim brings up her hands up in a gasp. The camera zooms in but this time on the killers back where you see a gun held to his back. It zooms out and you see the detective holding the gun. It cuts out and you here a gun shot.
