Fiction Adaptation: Alex Boorman Workshop



We had Alex teach us for the day and he wanted to see our skills so asked us to create a sequence of short films, about 30 seconds each on angry happy and sad.
We was given 3 hours in which to make edit and have lunch, we was in groups of 3 and had to come up with ideas for each.
For angry we thought Roxanne would be better to act it but we wanted to get a shot of revving a car and Roxanne wouldn't do this so I was in it trying to be angry. The idea progressed for the revving idea, we was worried it wouldn't be long enough but it was our longest one and was over 45 seconds.

There was a few things that cold of been changed and done differently but we didn't have the time to have a prefect edit, I was the one editing and there is a few things I would have done if I had the time like smooth transitions from shots and the shot of me reaching for the car door handle wasn't edited properly so i reach for the handle twice. The sound in angry jumps when we change shot which I should have smoothed out.
The sad piece was no way good enough or long enough but we ran out of ideas as it had stopped raining which we wanted but know for next time to have filmed it first, the idea was to get rain drops and raining on a puddle etc, but all we could get was the rain drops on the car window as it stopped raining when we finished filming angry.
