Gaia's Army

This film opening is named "Gaia's Army". It is the product of our AS Level coursework brief, the opening minutes to a fictional thriller film. Youtube annotations have to be on for at least the first 10 seconds of viewing.

An early version was uploaded to my Youtube Channel, Venturay Productions, on the 3rd of March, which collected a large quantity of feedback which my partner Louis and I took on board. 

This is the final version of the opening.

The opening reveals the two protagonists, Ben and Louis, who discover a dying secret agent who claims to have become rouge from an underground organisation named Gaia's Army, which is trying to save the world from pollution through mass homicide.

Preliminary

This was our preliminary task. Louis and Lewis (another classmate who made the prelim with Louis and I because he was working solo on his film) acted while I went on camera. The prelim contains the typical structure of a scene - an establishing wide shot, followed by a series of two shots and over-the-shoulder shots employed in the shot-reverse-shot technique. The 180 degree line remains intact for the duration of the video. 

RichMix Recording

I recorded the presentations at RichMix on my Zoom H4n so I could go back later and make notes more detailed than I would've been able to at the time. I also uploaded the files to Youtube to make them accessible to the rest of my media group as well.
