Courtroom Drama One Shot Piece
ok according to blogspot.com i cant upload anything this big, so sorry, but please go to youtube and type in "courtroom take 2"; or failing that http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnYtF2nVyLI
One Shot Short
This is our one shot short, in the group was me, Harvey, Ant, Lars and Sketch. Me and Ant are in the film, Sketch was cameraman, Lars was the Prisoner and Harvey Director and general Organiser, we all contributed to idea's and we all had a certain style I feel that we all came very close to what we where trying to achieve.
We were given rules to our film, the camera must remain on the tripod, and it must be all one shot, and short 1-5 minutes. We struggled with neither of these rules, but only a way of making it new, interesting and experimental to capture the frame of mind and vision of direction we wanted to achieve, the best way we thought to do this was in first person perspective/or P.O.V
We found a great venue to shoot at courtesy of the Nottingham Galleries of Justice Museum, we wanted a dark, 19th century courtroom drama feel, so although we took lights just in case, they where not used; but take a look at the film, please try to understand the vision of perspective we where trying to achieve- all actions and directions were chosen and thought about carefully, it is experimental so bear with us, one shot is nobodies preferred cinematographic* choice *(yes that's a word)
- The File is over 200MB so i doubt it'll let me upload, if not I'll also try to put it on YouTube. (to all lecturers I'll try to put it in the drop-box on NOW too)

White-board Animations
OK, I had such fun doing this, working in a group definitely made it quicker, sometimes opinions clashed, but its all good.
I look forward to doing this in the future again, even though its a simple and very very long process it theoretically is limitless in possibilities, the more time spent learning how to match timing correctly into 12fps is difficult, but overall I understood it and think next time i will use as many colours as possible to liven it up even more. (p.s our groups is the very very quick one about half way in - with the earthquake and flying super-blob)
