Filming and editing the prelim task was so much fun, and was a great introduction to filming!
There was four in our group (Hollie, Lauren, Ellen, and Myself) and to begin our Task we drew a storyboard
[and nope, we are not experts at drawing, and no we did not hire a 5year old to draw for us]
"filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule."
Our final product wasn't that bad, considering we are not award winning editors. We used different shot techniques such as birds-eye-view and over the shoulder shot. We also found a great location to film in, which helped alot!
However this was our first time filming, so fair warning when you get to see this, it's not Spielberg material, but this did help us know how we can improve and make the next task even better!
So here are our useful tips to future filming!
1. Film everything more than once.
2. Film from different angles.
3. Rehearse the film before filming.
4. And finally, film the entire sketch from start to finish with no pauses.
When we begin filming for our next task we will take these tips into consideration, and we will also improve by adding more cut-ins and cut-aways.
No matter how much the film sucked, we had so much fun with filming and editing!
Here are some pictures from the Prelim Task, and the finished product! :)
