The 180 Degree rule is a crucial
element of film making. It involves filming a scene from the same side of the
characters in frame. If you change the perspective it will confuse the viewer
as the characters will appeared to have switched unless there is a pan showing
this change in perspective. We did this by not crossing 'the invisible line'.
A match on action is a change in perspective to add a sense of real time. It creates atmosphere and can add significance to an object. We incorporated this into a scene between the two main characters where they exchange 'the box'. This coupled with 'the box' always being in frame shows its importance.
An eye line match is a technique used during conversation. The camera is placed so that it is clear that the characters having conversation have eye contact. It helps to create escapism for the audience as it implies a sense that they are in the conversation. We included this several times in our production, in the scene where the central character first enters the building and the scene where the match on action occurs.
The film making process was highly successful in the production of the box. The group discussed different storylines before deciding on one to take forward. We story boarded this idea, considering what shots to use, where to place the camera and where we could film to ensure continuity. We shot all the scenes we story boarded and if possible shot them several times from varying angles and using different shots, knowing that this would help us in the editing process to create realism for the viewer. when filming in the corridors of the college, we shot at the quietest time. We did this because if there are no people around then there will be continuity for the viewer as there'd be no one in the background that would appear to vanish. To further avoid this we shot, where possible, in enclosed, quiet areas such as the community learning facility. I thought that our storyboard was very well planned out and required very little adaptation. other then adding some connecting shots so the production flowed and reduce jump cuts, we followed the storyboards. We opened with and extreme long shot to establish the story line. We used sub P.O.V shots to show the central characters anxiety. He is often shot from behind and his face is never clearly in frame, adding a sense of mystery. The Box was edited using Adobe Premiere. This allowed us to edit our piece using tools like splicing. This cuts a clip into two allowing you to add sound or an effect to one part of a clip but not another. We also added credits, this allows the viewer to know the name of our production and who made it. In this programme we found you can crop clips so dead space is eliminated or the main subject of the clip can be changed. Additionally we could straighten our frames if they were shot at an angle. In Adobe Premiere we could import sound from external sources. We used incomptech.com and garage band. The background music added lots of atmosphere and tension too our piece, enhancing the mystery in our thriller piece. The sound effects we added had the same effect. The minimal dialogue adds to the mysterious feel. We also added transitions. We used dissolves between clips to imply a lapse in time. We used dip to black to connote the end of a scene. Dissolves were used on credits so that they didn't leave the screen sharply, detracting the viewers attention from the action on screen. The sound track was faded out at the end too make the ending feel natural.
