Account Of Prelim Shoot

At first we were given a list of camera angles and dialogue to say. We agreed on Alec and Rosie acting while Luella and i did the recording part. The acting wasn't working so i swapped with Rosie and we began to film. We really wanted angles that stood out from the rest so we really began over exaggerating the camera angles and using the rule of thirds to line the eyes up with the top left of the screen to make the shot more powerful. As i never really had a great look at the canon 5D (The camera we used) I didn't know how it worked too well but watching Luella use it i really started to understand how it worked. The quality of the footage whilst viewing it was stunning and it has moved up on my list of favorite cameras.  I still think the Sony is my favorite though. We experimented with more and more camera angles and then started using close ups to catch facial expressions we really wanted a lot of angles so we could really experiment with them in post production.

It was really tempting to view the clips we had got already but we decided to record now and watch later because studio time is very important so you really shouldn't waste any time viewing the clips back but instead record more clips to use if one doesn't work. One of the most challenging things is continuity if i where to do this again i would get someone to note down things so that you don't make errors that will take the audience out of focus in the finished video. This is very common to happen if the actor is eating drinking or smoking as all of these are things that will change over time so if you take too long recording it can case huge continuity errors. We try ed our hardest to prevent them so i hope it works for us.
