Prelim task group: Maggie Campbell, Simon Smith Alice Gamble, Leila Toulmin I’m my group we decided that we were going to make the clip mysterious, the audiences would know it was about a gun but not what it was for or the reason behind having it so it was all very basic visually. Leila and my self played the two characters, character A and character B, A was the dominant character. A was played by Leila and B the weaker character was played by myself. The script basing on a wonting B to do something but B can’t so A leaves. We shot the whole clip thought once then we broke it down to try different camera shots and angles, e.g. close ups, over the shoulder shots and mid shots. What did I enjoy and why? I enjoyed this clip because I think we all worked well as a group, also the clip was very dramatic which is nice to play with because you can do so many different things with it. What do I feel I learnt about process of making a film? I learnt that it’s not just the actors standing there being filmed that makes a film look good. There is a lot more that has to be considered for example the height of the camera, the exposure, the 180 degree rule, white balance. I learnt that there is more going on behind the camera then in front of it. What did I like least about filming? The fact that is was so time consuming and how many times we had to redo such small things just because of small mistakes such as no standing directly on my maker, four an hours work just get 3 minuets of footage. How did I work in a group? Do I think everyone contributed? How would I rate my own contribution? I think as a group we all work really well, at first we sat down at a table and agreed on a final idea. The people on camera were helping the actors; the actors were helping the people on camera so it all worked really well. I think every one added at least one of their own ideas to the filming, every one had there own rolls and I think as a team we all did really well. Towards the end we all got a little stressful because we were running short on time but we got on with it and got the footage we needed. I think made a fair contribution to the work but I found it more difficult to give ideas as I wasn’t behind the camera so I couldn’t see what needed to be changed as much as the people behind it. Even to Leila’s and myself disadvantage I think we contributed some good camera angles and shots. What would I have done differently if I had the chance to do it again? Honestly I think it worked really well and the only thing I would change was where we set the scene up in the media room, as I think it detracted from the footage. How did my choice of location and props affect your sequence of the shot? The location wasn’t our ideal place to film but we didn’t have to compromise the scene which made film less complicated. Our only prop was a small hand gun which was the mane part of our clip but I don’t think it took control of the filming. Did I get a chance to film any additional shots? If so, what shots were they and why did you choose them? We started with a wide shot of the hole thing though. Then an over the shoulder shot on A and B, then a close up on the gun followed by to close ups of A and Bs faces. Then a mid shot of A leavening the room, finishing with to extreme close ups of A and B. Explain exactly what you did in the group e.g. What shot I filmed, how I directed, managed continuity? Simon, Alice and Maggie filmed and directed. Leila and I managed were also continuity and the actors but we all worked together to make are filming flow well.
