First filiming exericse - Thursday 4th december part2

After planing our story board we were given time to start filming with our groups. At first it was hard remembering all techniques and suitable camera shots we learned from the tutorial i soon grasped the concept. Because of my height i also found it hard to use the tripod but it became easier handling the camera. Our plot was setting was the colleges main hall. A college student who would seem to sitting down normally on the chairs reading an newspaper. she would suddenly change the newspaper page and see a disturbing article about an rapist on the run. She would also later realise that the rapist is in the college. As the plots develops its becomes clear that the rapist has come for her and knows her identity. His now main ambition is to catch her!

Even though i was not in any of the shots i was able to do some filming. At first i found this difficult as i was worried i as doing every thing wrong, however watching the play back it looked very good for my 1st attempt. When filming i also had to remember the 5second rule which i found somewhat hard.

The main type of shots i felt my group concentrated on was tracking, panning and over the shoulder shots. I Think this combination of shots helped our plot line build suspanse.

We did not mange to finish all our filming on that day due to timing but we did get a lot of great footage but would still pick up were we left of in Monday's lesson
