this is what i did for the preliminary task

2. Practise and learning In this shot from my work when we where playing with the cameras. This shot is a shot reverse shot. This was done as you can see where the characters are going but not what they look like so it adds a depth of mystery. As we can not see there facial expressions or there movement. We used the cameras for a lesson walking round the school making sure that we got used to the zoom but also making sure that we kept a steady hand. We then managed to try out different shot types as we wanted to see what the cameras capability was. We found that holding them in your hand results in the filing be shakily. So at this point we decided to use the tripods as we could get a steadier image as well as being able to zoom and also do panning shots.

4. 0.09 seconds At this time it is a 108 degrees shot where you can see all other action. You can also see all of the action in the scene so it is clear and easy to see. You can clearly see all of the action that is happen but they also zoom out to see what happens but it also sets the scene as the audience will know that they are in the middle of a street and someone is trying to give away a test drink to see what people think.

7. Abused Homework For our Preliminary task we decided to make a short film that took place in the school as it would then be quicker and easier to film. We then thought of what we could start to plan out for our task, we decided that basing it around what we already know would make the task it self a lot more easier and a quicker process. We looked into what we could do and we decided on theme of school, we then thought that we could use the idea of homework to base the story on, from then on we had our back bone of our story we just need to develop that idea that we had planned.

9. Matron Action We used matron action in our task when I entered the room as well as when Jake entered. This gave us a clear shot that we where walking through a door but It also built the suspense. We took these shots by placing a camera onto the tripod and then zooming onto the handle. We filmed these two shots separately and then just added them into the footage when we where editing the scenes. Filming it all separately made sure that we did not have to keeping retakes when we messed up, we also found that it was more time saving and efficient. With this type of shot u can’t see what is going to really happen this makes the audience think. with this shot we found that it gave a clear image of what we where doing, it is clear and simple but works effectively. This was the easiest scene to shoot through out the whole filming process, we only took one take at taking this shot it was easy and simple, however we did have to set the camera up in to the right position which took some time. We managed to get it right and we then didn’t move the camera while Jake did his matron action shot of his hand opening the door.

10. Shot Reverse Shot When we where taking this shot we did forget about the 180 degrees rule, however we just retook that scene from the correct angle and we then found that this was better but also correct. we used the shot reverse shot to show Andys and Jakes conversations. This made a lot of sense as well of looking professional. When we filmed this we did encounter problems but we managed to rectify them before we had any problems. we like using this type of shot as it showed the actors facial expressions and also hand gestures. This means that they can communicate with the audience, they do this by the audience feeling sorry for the actors character or making them laugh. We hand a few funny parts to this part of the film as the actors had some funny lines (for example; foe shizzle). With this quiet funny shots we new they would make the audience laugh as they made us laugh to. We found shooting this part easy as we just did the whole conversation from behind Andy first and then we did it all from Jakes so we only had to edit it top make it all fit and flow like a normal conversation.
