LB: Preliminary Task: Day One


For today’s media, we began our preliminary task on which we would cover a few basic filming techniques, however before this commenced, we were properly instructed on how to use the equipment safely and correctly. In preparation for the preliminary task, we re-capped on various techniques that we may have been able to apply to our preliminary task which included methods such as the 180 degree rule and the rule of thirds. From this, we then set out generating ideas to shoot the following techniques in sequence which was a combination of: an establishing shot, a close up, a swish pan, someone passing through a door, and to finish two lines of dialogue.

From today's trailing, I have learnt that firstly camera pace and movement as well as distance can be important factors in order to get a clip that runs smoothly and seamlessly. Secondly, I have learnt that it may take numerous shots, to achieve the correct shot for when it comes to editing the clip. and finally in many cases it is ideal to have extra footage at both the beginning and the end to editing is a smoother process.
