Year 13 - filming

Task to complete : Task given was to create a short film that was based on a meeting of any kind .
My group consisted of :
Chelsea , Imogen and Benita
The task was to give us practice in filming and editing a short film . Before we started our coursework when we returned in september . we were given an hour to create two films between the four of us . using a flip camera , and a tripod  to hold the camera still.
We decided to base our meeting based short film on the a Tv show  The hills (mtv reality show)  . The short film was about a friendship that had been broken up and tried to mended although one of the friends did not want to resolve the problems ,
we had golden rules about filming around the school which were :


Firstly we had to create a story board, adding shot types and acts for the characters. We then had to make a script to match up with the storyboard in the theme of a meeting, firstly we made the film without a tripod, I believe that the film was a good start and the camera wasn’t as shaky as we believed it would be without a tripod. But on our second filming session we found it more difficult to position the camera where we wanted to, to produce the right camera shoot.



My group preferred to use the camera hand held as it was much easier to control the camera and a move it into the shoot type we need to form . Throughout this process we were able to connect the mini clips together on the mac's .Thorughout our filming we stopped and started to change shoot type and change position of of the camera to show fasical expressions.


I believe that the storyline behind the film was a good idea. And worked well thoughtout the filming  , also when we did connect the clips together they fitted together well , as if it was continutity editing . To develop the short film in a better way  i believe that we could  change the setting to create a better environment to the situation , also make the background sound lower, so you hear the actors voices properly .
