On Friday 23rd September we split into groups of 4 to film a short scene between 2 actors. One walks into a room and they each say a few lines. There was around 5 different shot types we were told to do.
We began by setting up the camera, just like how i explained to in one of my previous blogs.
I was chosen as one of the actors and we had a friend step in a play the other part.
The first shot we filmed was the wide shot. we did each angle all the way through twice. We did this because some shots came up more than once, so instead of filming each little bit and having to move round lots, we can just edit out the bit of that angle we are using at a different angle. It is important to do the scene twice each time at least in case there is something wrong with one of them and you didn't notice while filming.
I think our group did well, we had one person working the camera, a director calling out what we should be doing and when the camera is rolling and a continental girl making sure we did it the same each time like by putting little objects down telling the actors where to stand.
I really enjoyed doing the work that goes into filming a scene and am looking forward to editing our clip on Thursday 29th September.
