Third lesson pre-liminary task

In the third lesson with Miss Dughan me and my group got to the filming stage of the pre-liminary task. We found a room that we thought was suitable for our task and then sorted out the equipment we were going to use. Sony camera, tri-pod, table, a tape and 2 chairs. We needed to set up the white balance of the camera for every room we went in that we were going to record and shoot the video in. We filmed the video in 16:9 widescreen.
The shooting of the film was to be done by me, and the acting done by Tom and Alex. We started off by getting Alex to burst through a door with the camera starting on 1 side of the door then switching to the other side so we got a view from each side. Then I filmed Alex walking towards Tom who is sat down. Then I filmed Alex and Tom exchange words with a few different angled shots... The shots we used were, long shot, mid shot and an over the shoulder shot. We had a few problems with the tri-pod as the top of the tri-pod had snapped off but then we went to Miss dughan and got another tri-pod that did work. We used these to good effect when shooting the video. We had just finished shooting by the time the lesson had ended so we didn't have time to get the film onto the computer.
I shot all of the shootings twice or more so that we could pick and choose the best ones that we felt would fit for the editing stage of the preliminary task.
