Shooting the preliminary task

Last friday, in a group of four we filmed our preliminary task sequence in the tv suite, this location was brilliant, we got to shoot here as we won the filming task which involved following a storyboard of a conversatrion between two people insuring that we followed technical conventions such as -, it was in focus, we didnt break the 180 degree rule, was the shot type correct, good continuity, was everyone following there certain jobs, did we use the appropriate terminology to make sure everyone on set knew what was happening,'stand by etc'? etc. From what we have seen so far, it went really well, the actors were really good, and the filming was done correctly, however we did make a few mistakes at the start, but thats what we learnt from, so we only made a couple of mistakes, such as filming over another sequence which wasnt very good, but we soon learnt not to do it again. My specific job was on lighting, I had to decide at which times the lighting changed which was really effective as it could change the setting of the scence, eg morning, evening, afternoon. So after all of this, it gave us experience of shooting in a proper studio which give it a special feel to it. I have learnt so much from all of this, and feel it has benifitted me so much more actually using the cameras in action, rather than just looking and learning about them, therefore I now know how to put the correct settings on the camera, how to shoot at the right angles, and which directions to shout out. This was so far the best task we have done and I cant wait to edit it and see how it turns out!

see youu
