Preliminary Task video

Filming Preliminary Task

We have just finished filming our preliminary task and it was quite easy to do as we kept the filming basic and just made sure we used all the camera shots needed, especially as last time we missed out the long shot. Our film included all the shots and a short conversation between Martin and Julia using the 180 degree rule so the audience don't feel disorientated when the camera changes from one character to the other during a conversation.
We filmed in one of the corridors of the college as this was a good place with a door that we could use for match on action shot and we had quite a lot of space for filming, the only problem with this place was that there was quite a few people walking past. We also made sure we kept the camera rolling for longer so we had more film to edit and so it can run more smoothly after it has been cut together.
We now need to edit our film which, we have a whole lesson to do, using final cut express and then we will post our film onto the blog.

Prelimary Excercise Planning

For our preliminary task we are going to a full sequence to practice all the types of shots with the camera. we will try to keep this sequence simple and easy to do just to cover the basics.

The shots we will be using are close up, establishing shot, match on action shot, reaction shot, long shot and using the 180 degree rule film a conversation.
We are going to film a short conversation between two characters and we plan to film it in a suitable corridor.
We will use people in the group to act in the film, and also shoot it. The characters will be basic everyday characters.
