For this exercise we were given a sheet of verious camera angles and how to set a small part of the film 'Back to the future' at the time we didn't know what film this was so we could get our own ideas of how to set out this, using the sheet of how long a certain shot should be for and what angle. We found it very difficult to do this exercise as we were limited to do certain angles for example at the start we couldn't do a high angle on the school as we didn't have the right equipment. Once we finished we watched the the clip, and we were able to tell the difference and how long it actually takes to do a 1 minute clip.
Other problems we had included: the use of the actual equpiment for example the tripod we used to put our cameras on were very squeeky when using a panning shot, this therefore made a squeeky noise on the video clip when one of the members in our group run across the hall way.
When doing this small exercise i've learnt a few things these consist of:
- The editing process can be fairly difficult, and that to make future editing more easy, i should try and find locations with limited background noise in them.
- If our group wants to use certain equipment it will need bookng before hand as there is limited equipment
- In order to have a smooth filming, we will have to use the tripod which ables it not to be all rough and unprofesional.
- When planning to film from scratch, i will need to consider a variety of different camera angles
- Finally we need to make sure when filming the same clip, all our actors in the group need to make sure they are weaing the same outfit if its a different day.
Overall the excersise was very helpful and got everyone thinking more about how to plan the whole sequence out step by step.
