Hi, my name is Laura and I'm a blog-a-holic
The next post you're about to see is my simple, amateur (albeit short!) attempt at filming and editing a film. Now, quite clearly, I am no Quentin Tarantino - casting Brad Pitt and Eli Roth as main roles doesn't really stretch as far as the Prior gates... Alas!
Nethertheless, I gave it my best shot - my best cross-cuts, pans and shot-reverse-shots to be exact. So, FYI; as part of Prior's 2 week A2 tasters, the Media depo decided to appoint us all to film a 30 second film in a particular genre and edit it with 3 specific shots in mind - shot-reverse-shot, graphic match/ cross cut and match-on action. All my group had to do was decide on a genre. And after much explicit, euphemised banter, we settled on the crime genre. Here are the lines we were given to help us, ahem, decide ;)
Character 1: Do it
Character 2: I can't
Character 1: Just do it!
I can't wait for you to do it...
At first, I wondered what other testerone-fuelled teenagers would make of these lines... hmm.
So, the moment is upon us! Grab ya popcorn, a few cans o' Monster, sit back and enjoy..............
