filming workshop

In today's workshop with Matt we filming a sequence including sound sound. 

I was in a group with Gianna, Sarah, Pandora and Maia. We came up with an idea of 2 people having a conversation. Me and Maia were the actors, but we also filmed certain shots (close up).

We also learned how to use a microphone. It is made from porcelain, therefor it is quite fragile. When holding the microphone while filming we have to make sure we are a good distance from the actors to capture their dialogue, but also have to make sure we are not picked up in the shot. 

*I was the one who took these photos, but send it to my team partners, so they could use it as their evidence as well.

When we started filming we had to make sure the camera was in focus, nice visual shot (small head pace- rule of thirds), 180 degree rule.

The whole time we filmed we made sure we didn't break the rule of 180 degrees. 

The sequence was filmed in a couple shots including:

Wide (whole shot)

Close ups

2 over the shoulder shots

The footage we shot on this day, will be edited by us on Friday during the lesson.
