Week 3

   
  This week our group started filming our preliminary task, on monday we had filmed half of our video but unfortunately our footage had been lost so we had to redo our filming and managed to complete all of the filming we needed.
   
  Whilst filming our preliminary task we all got the change to use the camera and film part of task. This gave us all a taste of what it will be like to film our actual AS task next year. Hannah was the first to use the camera and she filmed our establishing shot of the building to start off the video. Once we had set up the office we were using for the task the camera was given to paige as Hannah, Jasmine and I would all be in the scene. Paige filmed the match on match shot of me walking through the door into the office before changing the direction of the camera and facing it towards Jasmine and Hannah in a pan shot of the beginning of the argument, and an over the shoulder looking at me as Hannah asks for my opinion on the argument.

   After putting my hands up Jasmine then used the camera to film me walking out of the door pushing past Paige, as she walks through the door, effectively making her to drop the papers in her hands. Jasmine filmed a close up of the papers before showing Paige picking them up in a tilt. The camera was then passed on to me to finish the filming as i filmed the shot reverse shot of the argument and a wide/three person shot of paige laying the papers on the desk as Hannah and Jasmine came up with a solution to their problem which was where we ended our filming.

   Personally after seeing what we had filmed their was a lot that needed improving. Such as the length of the video as it was too long and their were a lot of shots that wed missed out that we could have used. But all in all i think the filming went very well especially for our first task, we worked well as a group allowing everyone to have a say and have some input into our preliminary task.
   Next lesson we will be going through all of our footage and editing out all of the irrelevant footage. We will also we going through it to check if we need to add any frames or re-film some of the footage that may have been left out.
