Card Game

For our card game task we were given a deck of cards as a prop to create a short practice film. Different camera shots and angels were used to make the film more interesting. This was then edited using Final cut pro where we trimmed clips and combined clips to make up the film. Soundtrack pro was also used to edit the film by adding sound effects which made the film more interesting and more on edge.

Camera shots, sound and editing:

• Medium close up (MCU)
• Close up (CU)
• Long shot (LS)
• Wide shot (WS)
• Shot reverse shot
• Over the shoulder shot
• Sound effects
• Match cut

Match Cut Exercise

Storyboard

In the match cut exercise we used a range of different camera shots/movements and editing skills to create a match cut and a series of shot reverse shots to show a conversation between two people. To create the match cut and shot reverse shots we had to film the scene twice from different positions to later on edit in Final Cut.

Camera Shots/Movements used:
- Long shot
- Medium shot
- Panning
- Over the shoulder

After filming our footage we imported our clips into Final Cut Pro and cut the clips in the right places to make the next clip follow on smoothly.
