Preliminary Task

Preliminary Task

In our group of three (Fernando, Thomas and I) were given a set storyboard to film between us. Between our group of three we all contributed to directing but our set roles were Fernando behind the camera and Thomas and I acting. 

Fernando used the canon 5D to film our storyboard which was great for full frame shots, using low light and dabbling with the colour space. 

We filmed it down in the studio which had a pre-made set which included a brick wall and a door (which Thomas used to enter through in the opening scene). 

For our first shot we filmed the whole storyboard in a wide shot. We did this so that when editing we are given the safety net to be able to cut back to anything we may want to use which involved the wide shot. We filmed the whole storyboard in most of our shots which included the over my shoulder shot, the over Thomas' shoulder shot and medium and extreme close-ups of Thomas and I. The medium and close up shots helped display our facial expressions on camera.

We used a focus pull on the over my shoulder shot to focusing on the back of my head to Thomas' facial expression when he was leaving the room.  

Being aware of the 180 degree rule we found it necessary for our camera man (Fernando) to make sure that we did not switch sides when he filmed (me on the right, Thomas on the left).
