Post by Mickzter97 »

Hey guys,

So about 3 months ago my friends and I were given a project, in which we had to make a soapie. So here it is...any comments? Hope you guys like it...

Strange! Very Strange! Entertaining but strange. I don't watch soapies so I will not judge the story.

A few things thoughts:
Plan your camera shots and positions. Also plan the focus - nothing worse than blurry images or jerky movements.
Don't be scared to rearrange your environment to better suite the shot. In the lounge scene rather have the two seats next to one another - L shape. Have the camera on the other side and have it pan from face to face without the huge gap and TV unit in the middle. Or shoot each side of the conversation separately and splice the footage together, that gap is just annoying, as is the motion of the camera.
I kinda liked the action at the school but again you should plan your angles. The camera should be in the best place to catch most of the action.
Also - decide if it is going to be serious or humorous. Your "Ads" were on the funny side - as was your corpse laughing.

What grade are you guys in?

And you are expecting me to calculate that? :P
I am born in '69 and you don't see me advertising that all over the place ;-)
