Production-preliminary

After our planning using storyboards and being taught how to use the camera and tripod we then began production by going off to shoot our preliminary task.Before we began filming we were told to include a shot reverse shot and a match on action. We also had to keep to the 180 degree rule.


When filming our preliminary we didnt have our whole group with us which became a bit of a problem as we had to compromise on our location and the filming itself became a bit rushed. We also had to deal with other people walking through the shot or other noises from people. We also didnt include people sitting down and instead chose to have the two people standing having an arguement.
From filming the Prelim we learnt many problems that we may encounter and what to do differently when doing our thriller. As our filming was quite rushed as we had limited time, we would make sure there was enough time to film extra as we learnt this from the year 13s. Also in terms of lighting when filming Ryan walking out of the doors the sun was right behind him which meant the shot was very bright.
Before we filmed we hadnt anticipated the time it takes to film. This is shown especially when the camera has to change angles so the same action is repeated. Another thing that took quite a long time was making sure everyone was ready as people were getting distracted and walking off.
If we had to do the preliminary task again we would pick a different sitting and also when the two people are having a conversation use some over the shoulder shots.
