Preliminary Task - Camera Skills

There are many benefits to using a tripod and shooting with multiple camera's 'Multi-camera' when filming.

Some benefits to using a tripod when filming are:
- It keeps the camera steady
- It makes it much easier to do things such as pans and tilts.

Some benefits to using multiple camera's are:
-Makes filming much easier, as you can get more than one perspective at once, such as if you are filming a talking scene, you can film to faces at once.
-Makes filming more faster as you do not need to keep moving the camera if you have more than one.

180 degree rule
The above video explains and describes about the 180 degree rule. Which should always be used and considered when filming something like our preliminary task.

Preliminary Task - Recce

Location 1:  G4 (Geography Block)






This is our main choice for location to film, we have asked for permission from Mr Sedgwick and he has granted it.

Location 2 – L4 (Languages block)




This is our second choice location, it is not as ideal as the first one, but it is our current back up room to film.

Preliminary Task - Our Idea

What we have been asked to do:
We have been asked for our preliminary task to create a short clip of a conversation of at least two people. The clip should be roughly around one minute.The conversation in the clip can be about anything, and we should try to make it as interesting as possible. Also for the clip we need to produce an a3 movie posted to go with the preliminary task using adobe photoshop. After all this has been finished we need to evaluate our work by doing a podcast. Within the podcast will be a set of questions for ourselfs and other people to answer.


My partner for this task is Charley Perkins.


Deadlines:
Pre Production - 8th November - November 18th
Production Window - 19th November - 26th November
Post Production - 27th November - 12th December
Presentation Day - 15th December


Over the course of this preliminary task i hope to develop my editing skills. I also want to develop my skills on coming up with ideas in a short amount of time for productions and then developing on the ideas with the other member of the group, both giving our input on what would be best to happen next in the production.


Roles within the team:
Luke Ayres (Me) - Editor
Charley Perkins - Camera


We will also both produce and direct the short clip.
