Preliminary Task

Our PRELIMINARY film was our first experience using the camera. Our brief was to create a short clip of someone walking into a room, opening a door, and closing it. However, as we were so excited with using the equipment for the firstime we extended this brief to include a short conversation and in addition added more movement.

The ESTABLISHING shot was of me walking up the stairs which includes a HIGH CAMERA ANGLE which is where the camera approaches the subject from above the eye level. The short clip is of me getting my book which i have left in a room and walking through a total of 4 doors to reach the teacher played by ANDREW GILBERT. We have included extreem close up shots of the opening and closing of the doors to emphisise our initial task. This will give us an EXPERIENCE with working with the camera which will be mirrored within the EDITING.

STORYBOARD:

This shows us the positions the camera should be in so filming costs can be reduced as less time is wasted on set whilst trying to figure out which shot looks best. As you can see we have used varying shots; long shot, medium close up, over the hsoulder shots and extreem close up.
