Introduction to Camera 2

Introduction to Camera 2

This lesson involved us being split into groups and physically filming on the cameras.
The lesson started with us learning how to film framing shots which included mid shots, close ups and extreme close ups. We used a motorbike to help experiment with an object how different shots work etc.
After watching Matt (media teacher) film the motorbike we were allowed to split up into groups and film a short scene to help us get used to filming on one of the cameras. In a group of 4, my group simply filmed someone getting a phone call, answering the phone, then putting the phone back into his pocket.
We also learnt the importance of continuity and how their are specific jobs just to keep the continuity in sets/shots.
Continuity is the unbroken and consistent existence or operation of something over time, therefore not breaking the continuity is fairly important and if you did break it the film wouldn't quite add up.
