In the begining scenes of Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels before the opening credits, the begining scene starts. Two men selling stolen goods on a street corner, then as the first few seconds of the opening scene comences the begining titels cut in between the action of the scene.
The titels are against a black back ground and not super imposed across the footage, the font used is a type wrighter font and the letter are not even some higher some lower witch gives it a unique feel.
The music comes in just as the police arrive with a fast melody and quick pace makes it perfect for a high adrelin and extreamly active scene "chase music".

My Preliminary Task

This is the plan i drew in preparation for shooting my preliminary task.



Here is my final preliminary task.It was my first time acting and directing my own movie. i worked along side a friend of mine called nini and we film a piece about two friends who meet up in school and hold a brief conversation about how our weekends went. What i found hard about it was at the end putting it all together on final cut pro and making it contionuious. but altogether it was a great experiance and I am eager to film my next task.

Shot-Reverse-Shot

I found this video on youtube when I was researching Shot-Reverse-Shot. Because it is very simplified and to the point it helped me grasp an understanding of the rules in shot-reverse-shot. Shot-reverse-shot gives a feeling of conversation by alternating the position of the camera.



Here is my example of shot-reverse-shot.

The 180 degree rule is a rule in video making. It's when two actors are conversing, the camera's are on the same side so that it does not look that the actors have changed positions which would happen if you crossed the imaginary 180 degree line.
