Filming on wednesday!!

Andrew lesson started off by him telling us that Marissa would be coming in the lesson, to do a match cut activity. Shortly Marissa came into the lesson and she asked the class if we remembered the lesson we had on match cutting last year, the majority of class said yes they still remember, so she went on to talk about the a task she setting us, and that is to work into two’s and to match cut the scenario given to us in a sheet of paper, which is ‘A man who is on the computer whilst chain smoking, who then transfers his files from the computer to a CD and posts it in the letter box.’ Me and my partner Vicky decided to use several shots in one action, for example when the man is picking up the envelope, we used a panning shot and using different angle to match cut the action. We found this task difficult because it was hard to keep match cutting every scene. After doing the task Marissa showed us the teacher’s version of the scenario given to us, she showed us the clips twice and then pointing out the match cut used in the scene.

Andrew then gave us another sheet of paper with another task in it; the task asked us to film a scene of two people meeting up. So he asked every group to plan and give different ideas on how we are going to be filming after break. So my group and I came up with several ideas like two lost friends meeting up, blind date and many more, but we decided to do something unusual and different so based our film on a thumb war battle between two people.

After the break we started shooting our film, so we located ourselves downstairs in the hall to film our first shot which was me entering the college, we used several shots like panning and tracking. Also a long shot outside to show where the setting is was. Overall I think the filming went well today because we had fun, also tried to match cut scene in our film.
