Filming and Editing Spy Continuity Task

We were given a continuity task where we had to film a number of diffrent scenes, incluiing match on action, not breaking the 180 degree rule while exchanging a few lines of diolouge, and shot reverse shot.

We decided to

To start with we came up with our initial idea; we were given a style (Ours was "Spy"). We thought of over spy films, such as 50's spy films, and Film Noir, and based our ideas around those ideas. When planing what we were doing we had to keep in mind that we had to follow the 180 degree rule, use match on action, and use shot/reverse shot. After this we decided to assign roles for our film, decided what would happen in our film, and we created a storyboard and script. (The storyboard can be seen above).
The roles we assigned were:
Spy - Peter
Bad guy - Spencer
Hostage  - Hani
Security Guard - Joe

Finishing Rough Cut

This is our rough cut of the phone call. After a few minor adjustments to previous clips and a re-upload of our recording we managed to make this rough cut. We again used Final Cut Pro to create our rough cut, we still need to make some adjustments to our audio and we might have to rearrange a couple of clips, to avoid confusing the audience. We need to switch clips 6 and 13 to make it flow better.

What Happened While Editing.

Today we edited our phone call project using Final Cut Pro. Here we logged and captured our video and audio off of the tape. It started well enough,  but our uploading took a while, because we captured the same clips multiple times due to a lack of communication for not fully understanding the technology we were using.

After our third try we finally managed to get used to the program and  put a sequence of film into the right order. The film was very jumping but after cutting it down more and more it looked much better.

Location for Phone Call activity

Our first ideas of our spoof of the phone call from the film scream should be set in a simple setting unlike anything else in the film. We thought that the killer, aka Hani should be ludicrously close to the victim aka Joe (in the actual scene).
