Film planning

Before filming, my group did a lot of planning. First of all we had to choose what was going to happen in our video, it had to include someone walking through a door, and sitting down, it also had to include some conversation. So with this in mind we chose to shoot in school, as it would be easier not to have to go off site. And we could easily find a spare classroom, to film in.

We chose to have the male character walk downt the school corridor. we didnt use any close ups on this character, until he reached the door. We then did a close up, of him opening the door, and entering the room, (we used the media editing suite).

Our storyline for the task, involved the two characters, transfering something. In the clip, we didnt specify what, however we decided they were most likely to be swapping gig tickets.

We mainly used close ups and long distance shots. we would of used more, if we had chosen to use more locations. however I think we should of used more types of shots.

when filming we made sure that we stuck to the 180 degree rule. The 180 degree rule, is a rule used in filming, which means that the camera has to keep the same left to right relationship, and shouldnt cross the imaginary axis. This is to stop the viewer becoming confused. The 180 degree rule, is always used when filming sports, such as football or rugby.
