Recreate scene

 

Scene recreation

This post contains a mini project that helped us learn how to shoot a cinematic scene. we did this as a group

Lesson Description: My teacher told us to find a scene from a movie in our genre. Our chosen task was to recreate this scene from John Wick where he and the film's main antagonist conversed with each other engaging in a deal. 



Original scene:

Story board:

Recreated Scene:






Problems, How to solve them and What to do next time: My teamate gusde do this problems 


1) We do not have the proper camera equipment, so sometimes the camera movements are a bit unstable, making it look unprofessional. We could not solve this problem besides the least we could do was to get someone from our group to have stable hands when holding the camera. Next time we would be required to buy new equipment that would stabilize the camera when moving to create a better quality film for the audience and avoid shaking the camera.


2) The backlight when we were filming ruins the recreated scene as the original scene was in a dark gloomy weather. There was nothing we could do as we could not control the weather and we did not have enough time to find a new place to film. Next time we would need to take our time to decide which location would be suitable for the environment to match with the original film. Though the silhouetting of actors did make them seam a bit more menacing and mysterious


3) There were background noises from the area where we filmed which caused a disturbance in the audio every time the character was speaking even though we had a phone microphone near the voice of our actor. We solved this problem by muffling the audio from the video however this makes the character's voice low and unclear. Next time we would need to buy a proper microphone attached to our actors so their voices can be heard loud and clear. We also would need to clear out the area of our filming set to avoid unnecessary audio or disturbance from entering our film.


4) We had a problem with our cameraman due to his unprofessional conduct where he accidentally recorded the scenes in slow motion. Luckily we had a solution where the videos would be sped up to cover the mistake of our cameraman from the audience. However, this solution would not fully solve the problem as some of the scenes are still in slow motion to match the pace of the original audio. Next time we would probably have to switch our cameraman to someone else as this can prove to be a really dangerous conduct towards our final film.


REFLECTION:

 I learn how to edit the same and how the different camera shot effect the scene and prepareration of my big project , which could help me so that the project is good and learn from the problems we have on the scene recreation .

editing practice

This blog post contains the work me and my partner did in my lesson on how to successfully edit. My teacher filmed the footage but I edited it together. My teacher also provided the template for the blog post. 


Why is continuity editing important?

Continuity editing includes making sure that items like props or costumes stay consistent from scene to scene. But the more important work lies in editing shots together in a way that leaves viewers thoroughly grounded in both time and space.


Different types of continuity edit 


  • Straight cut (cut)

  • Eyeline match 

  • Shot /reverse shot

  • Cutaway / Insert 

*Match cut


Footage

Here is the footage that my teacher shot which utilises a variety of camera angles and movements. The scene is very simple, it involves a student standing up and leaving the classroom. A single shot here might be quite boring for the audience, by editing and combining the shots together we can make the scene feel more dynamic. 




My editing process

We uses canva , because it is more simple to use for short edits and it is easier to add the clips . to edit and we use normal cuts in between each clips we make continuity edit .

Here is my first attempt with some errors. Here is how I fixed the errors…I fixed the errors by cutting the clips in the perfect place so that the clip creates continuety edit


Here is my final scene. Editing multiple clips together made the scene better because…


Reflection How will this tutorial help your project? This helps us to decide who has the best editing skills in our group so they could edit our final film. What was your biggest challenge? The biggest challenge was to learn the How will you improve your editing next time?
