Planning Over (i think)

Rite 2days lesson provided some interesting debates on the fight scene. The shot list has now been completed but it is slightly different to the storyboard. Ed and Andy have been discussing what to do in the fight so andy can alter the storyboard a tad. Also we have changed are final shot. Instead of one of them falling to the floor no knowing who it is (his will now be the penultimate shot). We r now goin 2 have a flashback as the final shot of the victims head being pulled out of the water and is being screamed at. The yells say "Where is it?" OR "Where is she?" or something on those lines. Ed also wanted a script wrote out for that line which caused an argument (no cant use that word, heated debate sounds better). We also decided that saturdays filming will be all the shots which are inside the house because it will be to dark to film at nite. I wrk saturday and ed wrks sundays so we need 2 figure something out. Neway ed can u put a copy of the shot list on the blog plz so we can all c it. lol. C u all 2moz for the gaming lesson. dnt forget yr essay andy!!!!!!! lol.

Re: fight scene. Make sure its got a really good variety of shot types. It needs to be well edited to make it seem tense, violent and real - so mix your extreme close ups of fists, faces, feet, etc with mid shots and long shots of the action. This is NOT an easy thing to do well, but I know you guys will be totally capable of getting it right, but you will have to plan well, see how other directors do it and get lots of footage.

Couldn't agree more Mrs.B! Footage, footage, footage!! Have you guys looked closely at violent fight scenes closely? E.g. freeze frame/shot by shot. Look especially closely at the edit (cuts on action, cutting 'early' etc) - this is where fights really come to life. The b/w opening of Casino Royale is an excellent example... Good luck with it, have fun and don't injure/drown each other!
