Production Log
I have started my planning process for my film opening after picking my final idea. I so far feel good the way everything is going and what pace it has been going at. I have been completing work slowly looking at if it fits what I envision in my head. Other than that I have been completing research for my blog looking at the ways audiences consume films and codes and conventions of film openings and what should be included in the first 2 minutes.
Preliminary Task
Here is my final product, my completed preliminary task.
I feel my match on action could have been executed better as I feel It didn't quite come out right. As well as that my 180 degree shot is not as sharp as I would want it to be. There are elements of disturbances in the background as well as shaky camera other than that I am happy with my match-on-action. If I was to do my preliminary task again I would think things through better than I originally did. As well that this task has helped me better my camera skills which I previously lacked greatly.

Preliminary Task- Research
Here is what my Preliminary Task Involved:
Continuity Task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character , with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate, shot reverse shot, match on action and 180 degree rule.
This what the task involved and here are the example of the three things I need to show in my preliminary task. Here is an video I found on youtube that shows all 3 examples perfectly. This helped me create my preliminary task perfectly.
I did not plan extensively for my preliminary task instead I chose to do a lot things by improvising however I did storyboard the shots and do a location recce. Other than I let my actors improvise on what conversation they wanted to have in order to let it flow and make it look realistic.
Location Recce
I used these locations as these were easily accessible at the time and they fit the whole preliminary task perfectly. Since I have no narrative and I just felt improvising was the best way to do this task I felt using the location I had available at the time was the best thing to do.

Final Idea
For my Final Idea I have picked Initial Idea 5.
Initial Idea 5- This idea starts with a voiceover showing a woman practicing the wedding walk with her future husband in her bedroom. This than cuts to a scene in the past where she explains what that day was. She is getting ready to meet her friend who she is about to tell she loves. She goes to meet him while on the way bumps into a stranger the guy she will eventually come to love as the audience can tell. She finds out that her friend is dating another girl which breaks her heart and when than move to present day with 10 years later.

- I picked to do this idea is because
- I found it challenging and easy to do at the same time
- I feel in the time I have left this will be the most realistic to get done on time
- I need to look at casting as well since I need to cast 4 actors but I feel I can do that
- I find the idea interesting and want to see how it will look when planned and produced
