New post: preliminary task evaluation
Location
Our location was the film studio with the set of a brick walled room, grey carpet, white door and window with a single hanging light with no shade. This location worked for are task because we wanted the feel of a flat or home of lower class. The feel of the room was cold and uneasy which reflected the scene and what the topic of our clip was. In filming my job was the person involved with continuity to spot any changes in the acting or props for example spotting to see if the actor shut the door before he started to talk or that they were standing in the same places as before we all had a go at the camera and using appropriate terminology to let people know what to do, saying when to cut and action..
Lighting
We had harsh lighting coming from the bear bulb and from the studio lights we also had harsh light to show the ugly situation so we wanted an ugly light. This was important to our scene because we didn’t want the lighting to be soft we we wanted the light to be hard. Yes it was effective but I think that we maybe could have done more interesting things such as back lighting
Filming
We set up the camera correctly to start with by bubbling the tripod(getting the tripod level, colour bars, and lighting making sure there were 0 DB’s sure that the tripod was. We filmed every shot more than ones to be sure the shot was framed correctly and nothing was in shot that shouldn’t have been such as lighting or the edge of set and the mike.. We thought our angles were appropriate because we tried to make them dramatic to match the theme of the scene. we stuck to the story bored sheet and kept to the same shots we were supposed to and then repeating them to check we had them write. After we did the shots we were supposed to we then experimented with other when we were finished. We conformed to the 180 degree rule we were very conches of it. We used appropriate terminology such as stand by, turn over,
It was a good experience because we have to pay so much attention to everything you don’t think about when you are watching a film such as props being in exactly the same place. I also learned how hard it is to work in a short time
We were lucky enough to have the use of the studio when filming our preliminary task which was a great privilege, although watching the task back there are quite a few editing and camera work errors that if I were to re do the task I would change and make look more professional. The part I think looks most armature is the zoom of the dead body on the floor it looks roughly filmed and badly edited. I think by watching this film back I will defiantly learn a lot and be able to have a reference to make my next task a lot more professional.
