I have begun making a continuity film called "Conflict of Interest". It shows a snippet of a revenge-fuelled hunt from a young, inexperienced criminal called Jason Cole, looking for a briefcase very important to his late brother. The opening two minutes of the film show Jason approaching and entering the house of man he suspects has the briefcase he is looking for. We aim to catch the viewers attention and leave them begging for more of the film. We have considered the film in great detail and I have found that planning is THE most important element when it comes to making a film and as the famous Alfred Hitchcock once said "Film-making is boring and tedious, i have watched my film hundreds of times in my head after drawing the storyboards". I can safely say I understand exactly what Mr.Hitchcock is talking about although I did still find the filming very enjoyable! Conflict of Interest was filmed by myself, produced by Christian King and edited by Peter Trybus and consists of various skills including:
-Holding the shots steady in our stationary shots.
-Framing our shots and including the elements and considering time of day etc
-Using a variety of shot distances and considering right distance away from subject in film.
-Shooting material approporiate to the 2-minute opening scenes to a film.
-Selecting mise-en-scene including the colour, figure, lighting, objects and the setting of our film.
-Editing so that meaning is apparent to the viewer
-Using varied shot transitions and other effects effectively and appropriate to Conflict of Interest.
-Using sound with images and editing appropriately for our film.
-Using the titles appropriately.
