180 Degree Rule

The 180 degree rule is  a significant rule in filming. As it keep the focus of the viewers and avoids confusion. The rule is, that once the scene has been set, the camera must stay on one side, and must not have a shot from the other side. when following the 180 degree rule, an imaginary line is used that runs straight down the middle of the scene. An example of this is:

Once this line is in place, the camera can move anywhere providing it stays on the same side of the line as demonstrated in the digram.

Making this vlog has truly been a traumatic experience, so please no mocking me.

Final Destination Opening Sequence

Despite me not being the biggest fan of scary and horror films. When looking through the website, Watch the Title (which could be found in my links). I came across the opening sequence of Final Destination One, and i was surprisingly impressed. I think that the opening title sequence is perfect for this particular film. Thrilling and explicit. It illustrates to the viewers what the film entails . The use of only: black, whites, greys and a splash of red really caught my attention, and was beautifully presented.
The use of x-rays of human body was a very intelligent idea that made the opening sequence effective. Harsh, fast pace, violent music used to set the scene for the film. This website was very useful as it has  storyboards for all  the different opening sequences, illustrating all the different shots.
 Here's a screen of the website i used, and the opening sequence of Final Destination:

First Time Storyboarding

On Tuesday i draw my first ever storyboard for media. Although i was uncertain in what it really was, i was sort of dreading it; partly due to my horrific drawing skills. We watched the first two minutes of the new season three episode of Luther, and i must say for i did scream. After watching the clip a few times, it was time to start the daunting process. Against all olds (including my bad drawing skill) i actually enjoyed the process.
This is how the final storyboard looked like.
