Evaluation
In our preliminary task we decided to do a short scene of an office argument which had to include a match on match shot, a shot reverse shot and a 180 degree shot. In our task everyone had a go at acting and using the camera, we followed and included all the requirements that were needed for the task in our filming. When we first started the task we had a recorded discussion that we could make notes on and turn into story boards as there were a few things that changed from the discussion when we made our final decision on what shots were going to use and how we ended our scene. On our first day of filming we had managed to film just over half of our footage throughout the lesson however the next day when we went back to the footage we took, it hadn't saved so we had to re-do all of our filming and then add on the ending. We started off with an establishing shot of the building but when taking the shot we found we had to change the setting on the camera to take the shot again as we had problems with how bright the sun was and saturation. At our second attempt of filming we managed to get it done quickly as we avoided to much discussion between shots and got straight into the filming. Once we had finished filming we went onto editing, unfortunately Paige wasn't here as she was ill, therefore Hannah, Jasmine and Myself finished the scene by editing it and correcting any wrongs that were in the filming and cutting out any unnecessary footage as some frames we filmed twice so we could tweak the angle of the shot. When editing we had also decided that we were going to get rid of the frame that we had drawn in our story boards of taking a shot that focuses on the fallen pieces of paper as we found it didn't fit and was unnecessary in our scene. We had originally filmed over two and half minutes of footage but after editing and shortening some of the clips we had removed almost half and was left with one minute twenty seconds of filming left which completed our scene.
I was the last to have the camera in the group and filmed the ending of our scene. After Jasmine had filmed the shot of me leaving causing Paige to drop the papers she was holding, the camera was then passed on to me. I filmed the shot reverse shot between Hannah and Jasmine as they continued arguing which I think went quite well however the angle of the camera was slightly off and the shot reverse shot could have been shorter as i thought they were too long when filming the conversation between both characters. I think would have flowed better and would have been more realistic. Also the shots reverse shot were all over the shoulder shots to try and make the person who's putting there point across almost look taller as the argument became more heated. However, after this the shot i took of took the pan two person shot of Hannah's phone going off and Jasmine sitting down, i think that this shot wasn't too bad as it focused on hannah more as i had turned the camera further in her direction. Although i definitely think the ending frame could have been improved a lot as the scene was too long and i could have taken the shot from further away making it look better as a 3 person shot but if i were to change it i would keep it as a mid-shot. I think overall the frames that i had filmed weren't too bad but could still use a lot of improvement to make them look more professional and change the camera angle to a tilt when taking the shot reverse shot to get a better perspective of the argument.
In our preliminary task one of the requirements was to have 3 specific shots included which were: shot reverse shot, 180 degree shot and match on match. We made sure that in our scene we used these shots in it, however we also used many other shots such as: over the shoulder shots, and 2 people shots. We had originally wanted to do a fews long shots but because of the size of the office that was available we weren't able to to do that so most of our shots are mid-shots, we also used an establishing shot in the beginning to set the scene and a 3 person shot to end it. I do think our preliminary task worked but there is a lot we need to improve, for example we could have changed some of the camera shots that we used in our preliminary task too get a better affect and we could have used natural lighting instead of using the lighting from inside the office to set the scene a bit better, also because we used natural lighting in our establishing shot.
In our preliminary task we changed a few of the scenes and also got rid of the frame where we took a shot of the papers that Paige had dropped. In the few changes we did make it was mainly based on the camera shots e.g the long shots we had to change to mid shots because of the size of the room we were filming in.
