Draft of "The Encounter"

Here is my first version of "The encounter". I have decided to post my first draft to show you my progress as I edit , I still have yet to complete my editing but here is a preview :-




During filming we also had to include shot reverse shot, the 180 degree rule and match on  action and rule of thirds. It was very difficult to film these as it was our first time to attempt this. I used the shot reverse shot for a conversation between the antagonist and the interviewer.This was quite easy to film as all of these shots were mid shots and the camera was placed in one place. So filming was successful. The match on action was very difficult as we decided to put that at the beginning of the footage of the interviewer opening the door, hopefully, during the editing we will get the match on action shot in sync. Throughout the whole footage we had to include rule of thirds, this was rather simple as we just made sure the eyes were 1/3 of the screen and the horizon 2/3 of the screen. The 180 degree rule was the toughest ,but after trying a few times we got there. Overall,  we got four of these shots and they are the main ones to make our footage successful. 


Although I have yet to finish editing, so far I have really enjoyed working on my footage as iMovie is easy to use and there was no trouble uploading my footage onto to the Mac computers. There was however, an issue with some of the lighting being too lowkey for some shots, but I overcame this by editing the contrast and exposure. I have yet to add my 180 degrees rule and music , which I look forward to adding on.
