Tricky Shots

Tricky Shots

In our film "Greed" we would like to use some different editing techniques. For example:

• Fade over/ overlap shot- When Destiny has her money to spend she buys a house, car, and clothes. During this scene we would like to use a fade over of a calendar being ticked off each day for a week. We have done some research for this edit and we have found this link on "Youtube." This video shows us how to overlay on final cut pro. However, the computers at college only have final cut express which means we need to spend some time on practice shots to understand how to use it 

• One of our other tricky shots was to use a dolly/track shot on the jogging scene. However, due to having incorrect equipment. So instead we have decided to use a long shot as we can use this in part of the title sequence, if we needed to.

• In our film, the Loan Sharks office is going to have a dark lighting. This could be hard as the camera would need to adjust and it would need to be able to be seen on the film. From a video I have found some tips that may help us:
• keep the contrast at balance 
• Also we would need manual focus as if not we would have the lighting coming in and out and this would affect our film.
