Hi Youtube

Today we sorted out all our filming which we did a few weeks ago - testing shots and location ideas. We then decided to try some simple editing techniques just to get a feel for imovie. We put a few different clips together, as well as using a sound bridge and cross dissolve. These are all very basic and the outcome isn't brilliant, but it's our first go!

Despite having little idea on our storyline still, we're set on having it based around water and with living in Portsmouth, the sea is our greatest natural backdrop. With ideas in mind, we set off to Old Portsmouth - a part of the city which seems to have been captured in time where the streets are lit with old fashioned lampposts, cobbled streets and a sense of being in a state of disrepair; ready to be modernized.

Mise-en-scene

The mise-en-scène can be described as the 'arrangement of scenery and properties to represent the place where a play or movie is enacted.'
The mise-en-scène of our trailer is mainly situated upon the beach. However due to it being a public place, we had to ensure that the beach was particularly empty as a person walking in the background of a scene would've have ruined a shot. We were quite lucky as we found a secluded area of the beach in which to film, out of the way and only really popular within the summer - a problem we wouldn't be having within November time. Additionally, due to the majority of our shots being filmed outside, props weren't that essential in building our scene into a realistic representation, as everything was already there
