Shooting Preliminary Film


In groups of 4 we started to film our very first film. We had a sheet of paper with a scene on it that we had to shoot. It gave us the angles and a bit of dialogue. Two of the people in our group acted it out, and the other too filmed it. But we made sure that the two that acted it out had as much of a go with the camera than the others. I was on the shooting team, not the acting. This went well and I started to get used to using the terms 'Stand By' 'Rolling' and 'Action'. We worked well as a team, and made sure that the camera had been focused and white balanced before we shot anything. We also all helped set up the camera, in the position we wanted it, this helped us work together and made sure that everyone in our group was able to do it. This task was all about communication with eachother and seeing as we were able to do this very well we managed to finish early so we added extra shots. Some close ups, some high angled and low angled shots. I really enjoyed shooting the preliminary film, it was my first time of really using a camera in the way we did it. It showed me how important working together was, also how important detail was and how once you've got the hang of it you were able to really get stuck into it!
