Jack Hickman conducted an experimental film project to test camera equipment, shots, and editing skills. The short film came out too comedic rather than the intended horror/comedy genre. For the poster, Jack took photos of the actor in an intimidating pose and edited them onto a template. In the reflection, Jack plans to use shots, camera techniques, and editing skills from the experiment but change elements like costumes, location, and tone to better fit the horror genre.
The document discusses planning for a student film shoot, including choosing a house location to avoid costs, assessing safety risks on set, arranging equipment from college, and coordinating a small cast and crew of friends to help with filming and post-production.

Here are some solutions I've used in the past for shaky camera movements:
- Use a camera rig like a shoulder mount or glidecam to stabilize handheld shots. This helps smooth out shakes.
- Shoot at a higher shutter speed, like 1/50 or faster, to freeze motion and reduce blur from shakes.
- In post, apply warp stabilizer or other stabilization effects in editing software. This can help smooth out minor shakes.
- For important shots, consider using a tripod or dolly even if a handheld look is desired. You can always add some intentional shakes in post.
- Practice steady camera techniques like keeping your elbows tucked in and moving smoothly from the legs rather

Harry Morton is currently studying Media Level 3 at York College and is looking for part-time employment to gain work experience while completing his studies. He attends college 3 days a week and has spare time during the week, evenings, and weekends. Harry enjoys working as part of a team and says he is hardworking, determined to succeed, and can be flexible with work hours. He obtained 9 GCSEs at York College with his highest grade being a Distinction in Creative Media.
The document provides an evaluation of Harry Morton's proposal, contextual research, experiments, problem solving, planning, and production posters and trailer for his film project. Some key points:
- The proposal generated initial ideas for the FMP and identified research topics that informed the research document. It outlined the planned tone, camera techniques, and practical effects.
- Contextual research examined films by directors like Tarantino and Nolan that influenced aspects of the project like camerawork, practical effects, and plot twists. Film theories were found to be too complex to incorporate.
- Experiments conducted at home with limited equipment and software were not very practical but informed one element in the final film.
- The

In week 2, he created posters in Photoshop and finished principal filming. In week 3, he edited footage, added audio, and created a second poster. In week 4, he made trailers by syncing clips to music, applying color effects, and creating animated title cards. He also did pickup shots to improve continuity.
The document outlines a filmmaker's idea for a short action film about a crime boss whose hitman is the last loose thread in his criminal empire. The filmmaker wants to gain experience with practical special effects and action film editing techniques. Some key influences and research targets mentioned are John Wick for its action scenes and use of environment, and Die Hard for its special effects. The filmmaker aims to create suspense and excitement for the audience through dramatic shots, darker coloring, and one-take shots. Action scenes will be executed in a realistic but safe manner. Influences from John Wick and Die Hard will be seen in the fast-paced combat and a resourceful main character up against odds. Camera techniques will
Harry Morton has created a storyboard and planning documents for his film project. The storyboard outlines the key scenes including an opening scene panning from the sky to a fence, several fight scenes between the main character and bodyguards, and a closing scene that reveals the bad guy's face from the opening. Harry has also selected two filming locations - the location of the opening/closing scenes and his house for most of the indoor scenes. Additionally, he has created a concept poster and equipment/props list outlining the items needed to film the project.
The survey results provided helpful information for developing an action film targeted at a young male audience. Key findings included that 75% of respondents were aged 16-20 and male, and over 80% enjoyed action films. Respondents said compelling storytelling and visual style were most appealing in action films. The results also highlighted elements to avoid like lacking diversity or only focusing on action without a story. Overall, the survey helped identify the target demographic and their preferences to inform the filmmaking process.
This document contains a student's reflection on their grade and action plan to improve for their final major project (FMP). They received a Pass grade and want to achieve a Distinction. They did well in context, audience and experiments but want to improve evaluation and production. Their action plan includes conducting more in-depth research, experiments and reflection; adding more planning and problem-solving; and ensuring their production, reflection and evaluation are of higher quality. They aim to discuss methods used and plans for each day to improve their grade.
Harry Morton proposes creating a 7-9 minute short action film called "Action Short Film" for his final major project. He will focus on film but also design a poster using graphic design skills. Previous projects have provided useful experience with cameras, storyboards, color grading, and video editing. The concept is a hitman seeking revenge on a crime family who tries to kill him instead of paying. Research on films like John Wick will help recreate gunfight scenes and intense special effects. Evaluation will assess what worked well and identify areas for improvement by comparing to the original proposal and similar films.
Roger Deakins is a renowned cinematographer known for his use of lighting, camera movement, and depth of field to create three-dimensional shots. The document discusses Deakins' interview about filming No Country for Old Men, noting he often shoots with fewer shots than planned by reusing angles. The writer intends to apply this technique in their short film. Research was also conducted on directors Quentin Tarantino, Edgar Wright, Christopher Nolan, and action director Chad Stahelski to inform filming and genre choices. Contextual influences from the researched filmmakers will be experimentation with lighting, music, and action scenes.

It discusses the evolution of early games like Pong and Space Invaders to 3D console games on systems like the PlayStation and Xbox. The documentary uses narration, archival footage of classic games, and interviews with industry professionals to explain how the gaming industry grew into a massive part of pop culture. It aims to educate viewers who want to learn about the origins and development of video games over time.
This document outlines the planning and development process for a documentary project. It includes a mind map, mood boards, consideration of color schemes, and an initial script and production schedule. The color schemes discussed symbolize trust, intelligence, danger, and violence to relate to the documentary's subject. The production schedule lays out a 5-week plan to research, acquire content, edit footage, add narration and subtitles, and finalize the project.
Harry Morton proposes a documentary on the evolution of first-person shooter video games. The target audience is males aged 16-24 from English-speaking countries who enjoy luxury items like video games. The documentary will explore how the genre became popular, how games have changed over time, and highlight influential titles. Research will involve interviewing gamers, studying the history and mechanics of FPS games, and capturing or sourcing footage of key games. The project will be edited in Premiere Pro using skills developed in previous videos and apply facts about each game. It will be evaluated based on comparisons to similar works and progress reviews to identify strengths and areas for future improvement.
This document analyzes the target audience for a video game documentary. It examines demographics like age (16-24 year olds), gender (males), socioeconomic status (ABC1), and geography (wealthier UK areas). Research findings show the target age group spends money on consoles/games, has short attention spans, and plays the most video games. Males and ABC1 individuals have more discretionary income to spend on gaming. The document also includes primary research interviews that confirm interest in a documentary about first-person shooter game evolution.
The document provides an evaluation by Harry Morton of various aspects of his research, planning, time management, technical qualities, aesthetic qualities, and audience appeal for a documentary project on video games. For research, Harry analyzed audience demographics and inspiration from other documentaries. Planning strengths included idea generation tools, but weaknesses were last-minute script and color scheme changes. Time management was good overall but subtitles were unfinished due to lack of time. Technical qualities were similar to another documentary but differed in transitions. Aesthetic strengths included transitions and visuals, but subtitles and images could be improved. Targeting 16-24 year old males, gameplay, informal tone, jokes, and animations were used to appeal to the intended audience.

3. Theoretical Problems
Problem What would happen if it happened Solution
Actors might be late or not show up Delay production and filming Set a new day for filming and reminder the actors that of
day or find a replace if the actor can't be in your film
Actors might not be albe to film if in lockdown Won't be able to film and delay production Use family members to be in your film if we are still in
lockdown when production begins
Bad weather conditions Would have to delay filming and find a new day to film
or someone could slip and fall over
Check forecast for weather updates to make sure that
the weather will be good when filming starts and if I am
filming make sure everyone is safe
Actors might not be able to access the are your filming This would delay filming Supply transport to the location and do location
scouting to make sure the location is accessible
Actors might not be able to be close to each other This would make filming harder Might be able to close action scene unless with family
members and for non-family members it could be a
shootout scene so that they don’t have to get close
Actors could need refreshments or might need to go the
toilet
If there is no toilet in filming location it would take time
to find one and actors could get thirsty or hungry which
will also take time to find a shop which will delay filming
Make sure to bring refreshments if you are filming for a
long time and do location scouting to make sure there is
a toilet nearby.
Some Crew and Actors might not get along This could delay filming because they might be arguing
and might not be focus on the job at hand
Make sure to involve people that you know get along
and people that you trust but if this still happens talk to
the people that are arguing and see if you can solve the
situation and if you can't you might have to remove one
of them from the production or both
Actors might have to leave early or might be busy when
filming
This would delay production because I might not get
much filming done
When planning your filming make sure everyone that
needs to be there can be and if not try to find a different
day and if that doesn’t work try to find a replacement
that can go
4. Practical And Technical Problems
Problem What would happen if it happened Solution
Camera can run out of battery during filming This would delay filming because I would have to
charge up the camera
Make sure the camera is charged before filming and
always double check its charge at least one day before
filming starts
Camera and computer can run of storage during
filming
This would stop production because I would have to
free up space before continuing with production
Before filming or editing starts make sure you have
enough storage to do all the editing and filming you
want to do and make remove if you don’t by deleting
old files or photos or videos that you don’t need
anymore
Equipment can get damage during filming This would delay production a lot because the
equipment would have to get fixed or replace which
will come with a cost as well
When filming make sure anyone using equipment
knows how to use it and how to use it safely, if they
don’t teach them how to use it safely and don’t film in
dangerous area so the equipment can't get broken
Equipment might not be accessible because of Covid-
19
This would delay production because I would have to
find some equipment or find different way to do my
film without finding that equipment
If you can't access college equipment use your own
camera or phone to film production and for a tripod
find something to rest your camera or phone on like a
box
Software crashes mid editing session This would delay production if I haven't saved recently
so would have to start again
Make sure to save regularly so that you don’t lose
progress
Software corrupts your files of project This would delay production because I might have to
start my editing again
Make sure to have backups of your project so you
don’t have to start again
Software might not accessible This would delay production because I would have to
find new software
Before production starts find free to use software that
you can use a home instead of college software so that
you can do production at home if we are still in
lockdown
5. Health Based Problems
Health based problem What would happen solution
Someone on the cast
and crew could get
covid-19
If this happens this would delay filming because if
they were in contact with everyone on set, we
would all have too self-isolate
Make sure everyone is following the COVID-19
guidelines and make sure everyone is wearing
a mask and if someone isnt make sure they
have one to wear
If someone of the cast
or crew has mobility
issue
If the person can't access the location it would delay
filming because we would be missing a cast or crew
member
Make sure to do location scouting so that
everybody in your cast and crew can accesses
the location you want to film at.
If someone in your
cast and crew need
medication
If the person doesn’t have their medication when
filming, it could be a health risk because if that
person needs that medication when filming they
could be a risk
If anybody in your cast or crew need
medication make sure to know about by asking
them and remind them to bring with them
when filming and incase so bad does happen
make sure everybody has a phone on them to
call emergency services
When editing the film
my eyes could get
strained or I could hurt
my back
I could get a headachce or hurt my back which
would make me lose my focus on my production
Make sure to take a break every hour for 5
minutes so that your eyes don’t get strained
and your back doesn’t hurt
I could trip over a wire
near my computer
I could hurt my head if I fall over which would delay
my production
Make sure the room your working is clean, and
all wires are tucked away
6. Finance Props
These are the props that I want to buy for my film the total cost of
all these props is £40.32 which is quite expensive the most
expensive item is the rubber sledgehammer which is £21.97, I could
try a cheaper item or ask a friend if they have something similar and
if I could borow it. The rubber sledgehammer prop isnt that
important because I can replace it with anything really, I just
thought it look cool. The props are important though because I need
the ski mask for one of the characters and my film won't really work
without it, but the ski mask is only £7.99 so it's not that expensive.
The other prop is fake blood which I have used before in my short
horror film project and it work well in that so I would like to use it
again in this, I still have so left over from the short horror film
project but If I run out it will cost me £10.30 which is not too bad,
but I think a have enough from my last project to use in this project.
7. Finance Equipment
This equipment will be used during filming for my project and would cost me a
total of £52.97 which very expensive. The most expensive piece of equipment is
the shotgun microphone which costs £25.99, this piece of equipment is probably
be the lest used because I could add sound effects in the editing phase or use the
cameras inbuilt microphone or I can borow one from college but if we are still in
lockdown, I might not be able to get one from college, also college only has limit
stock so it muitple people are using them I might not be able to get one and when
the equipment is returned it has to be sterolized which will mean ti will take longer
for them to be back in stock. The next pice of equipment is a LED camera light
used for scene film in dark areas and costs £13.99 which is okay but I college also
has their own lights that I could borrow but if could have similar problems to the
shotgun microphone. If I don’t manage to get one, I can just film my scene in a
lighter area. The last piece of equipment is a camera stabilizer which will cost
£12.99 which is the cheapest equipment on this list, but I could also use a tripod
from college which doesn’t basically the same thing or I have my own tripod which
I can use which has a handle attachment which is like the stabilizer
9. Experiment 1
This transition was made showing off the first location and then moving something
to cover the camera's Lense for this example I used my hand which create a black
screen and then in the second location I started with my hand already on the Lense
and then moved out of the way to show of the second location. This effect can be
made better by using masking by moving an object in front of the camera and then
using the masking tool in premiere pro you can make the second location appear
while that object moves Infront of the camera but because I am working at home, I
don’t have access to premiere pro, so I had to use free to use software and did I
simple version of the transition without masking. I could use this transition in my
final product in Mutiple ways. When I'm filming and someone walks into shot
which covers up the camera, I could use this technique to recover the shot and use
it as a transition. Another way I could use this technique is that I could plan out a
scene where Someone covers up the camera like if the actors was hanging up a
coat and the camera could the coat hanger and then I could use that to switch to a
new scene or a different perspective.
10. Experiment 2
This experiment was made by having to shot which were
moving the same direction in this case it was left and the first
shot went from the hallway to a close wall and the second shot
started with the wall shot and then a different hallway. This
technique is useful for filming montages to show a character's
journey like to work or school, it could also be used for a
searching montage like if the character is trying to find
something you can use this to show that the character has
looked in a lot of places. This technique is easy and simple to
do the only bad thing about this transition is that both the
shots must be moving the same direction and the locations
you are filming at need to have a wall or object that to can pan
to make the transition work.
11. Experiment 3
This experiment makes the camera look like it went through a door and is
done by filming the first shot with the door closed and moving your
camera quite fast towards the door, makes sure that the footage of the
first shot ends with the door cover up the whole screen like the middle
screenshot on this slide. The second step is to then film your second shot
but this time with the door open, try to start your second shot at the same
place you ended your first shot, when filming the second shot make sure
to move at the same speed you were moving with the first shot. This
transition could be used for a chase sequence like if a character is being
chased by supernatural being, it can also be used for if you want to use a
room but then you want to transition to different room you do this
technique for example you film you first shot for going close to the door
and then second shot could lead to different room. The negatives for using
this transition is that you need your locations to have doorways but other
than that it is a very good transition to use.
12. Experiment 4
This experiment was supposed to be like experiment 2 but instead of the
camera panning along it does 360 degrees spin, how I made this
transition was that I put a monopod on my camera so that I could spin it
around and then I did the first shot which was 180 degrees turn from the
right with my camera and then I did my seocnd shot but this time the
camera started upside down because that’s where the camera ended in
the first shot and I did another 180 degrees turn but this time it was from
the left, so then you edit the clips togeher you should get a 360 degrees
spin but the tranistion didn’t really work. The first problem with the
tranistion is that I think my camera auto correct the image so when I was
filming upside down it just flip the footage so that it looked like the image
wasn’t upside down. Another problem was that the movement is too fast
to you can't really tell whats happen anyway. To fix this tranistion I will
have to slow down the footage and when recorded make sure everything
is filming how I want it. I will probably not use this transition in the future
because it hard implement into a scene and it also takes too long to sort
out and the result doesn’t always work.
13. Experiment 5
This experiment was made using to shots, the first shot was the camera
panning into the blank space and then pointing the camera down
quickly for a few seconds and then the seocnd shot started with the
camera facing down like how the first shot ended and then quickly
pulled up but instead of being a blank space being there I placed an
object they're before doing the second shot, so it looks like the object
has teleported into the location. This transition is really cool, and I like it
a lot, but I think I will be hard to implement into my film but if I find
oppuinity to add it into my film I will because it's easy to do and the
result is smooth and works very well. This transition could also work to
which location if you are in one location and then at the end of your
scene quickly point the camera down and then in your next scene start it
with your camera pointing down and then you pull up it could work and
be a good transition to a new location
14. Experiment 6
This transition I tried was simple I found out my camera had a black and
white mode, so I tried to make a transition using it, what I did was first
filmed an object with bright colours with my camera without changing
any settings and then for the second shot I filmed the same object but
this time changing my camera to the black and white filtor and then in
my editing software I put the two clips together and but a smooth
transition effect onto the footage so that it looks like the object shifts
into colour, I also did it the other way around making the object start in
colour and then change into black and white. This effect could be good
for flashback scene because it creates a contrast between the footage
becuase of the colour cahnge which lets the auidence know this is a
flashback. The bad thing about this tranistion is that in most editing
software lets you change the footage into black and white so filming it
two separate times isn't needed but if we stay in lockdown because of
covid-19 and I have to use a free to use software which doesn’t let you
change footage to black and white then I could use this method.
15. Experiment 7
This experiment was made by filming to different shots, the first shot
was me moving my camera to towards bag and until in covered the
whole screen and then the second shot start with a close up of the bag
in the same spot were my last shot ended but then when I pulled out
of the bag It was a new location. This transition is a lot like experiment
1 but this time using object to cover up the camera. This transition
would be good for my final product because it would be easy to
implement into my film and works well to change to a new scene. My
only problem with this transition is that the ending of the first shot and
the start of the second shot have to be nearly identical for it to work.
This is a problem I faced when making this experiment because my
second location was a lot brighter, so the bag had a different colour
than in the first shot and I also filmed my second shot at a different
angle to my first shot so it's easy to tell that there has been a change
which ruins the transition. If I do use this transition again, I will have
practice the shots multiple times so the they are identical.
