Prelim Task (First Lesson)

For the prelim task, I was put into a group with Darren, Heidi – our task was to film a character walking through a door, who would then sit down across from another character, and they would have a conversation. It could be filmed anyway we wanted it to, so long as we adhered to the 180-degree rule and had a match-in-action shot. I think that we all worked well together because we all brought different strengths to the project. Our group decided that we would think outside ‘of the box’ and chose to do our match-in-action shot from a high-angle of Darren walking through double doors, which was quite difficult to shoot, because we had to keep it steady.

I actually found filming quite different from previous experiences, because there were so many different aspects to try and take into to consideration, for example the white balance and the focus. When finished we then had to begin log and capture our footage into Final Cut Pro.
