Finished Preliminary Task

HI Blog...

Last lesson we finished out preliminary task, which we filmed and edited in the lesson. We used a variety of shots including shot reverse shot, close up, pan and high angle. We found the shots weren't as easy to capture as we expected, but we learnt from filming how to improve them. For example, we had to film a close up of Beth's feet walking a number of times before the camera was steady enough and was in the right position, before we were able to use it.
When we edited our shot, we found two particular shots difficult to merge together. This was going from the pan shot to the medium long shot. The positioning wasn't exactly the same in both shots, so we found that this was something we would need to be careful of when filming our main task.
We also looked at different types of openings to thrillers, and found that most of them use zoom and close ups. We have noted this and plan on coming up with a series of shot types that we might use when filming our main task.
