Preliminary task

Preliminary task

For our Preliminary task we took two people and portrayed them as if they were actors and what we done was show one person walk into a room and use different camera shots to show how they walk into the room and begin their conversation.

While filming this short clip it brought up the difficulties in how we could film our own thriller film, it taught us how we could film the different camera shots.

In school we used a class room which didn't have many lessons going on around it so we were able the use a suitable setting for the film as it was quiet which was good during recording as there wasn't any excess background noise which got in the way of our filming and the conversation that took place. We were also able to adjust the lighting in the room so that everything could be clearly seen while the camera shots transact between one another. This task was used just like training for when we filmed our thriller, it allowed for us to use the equipment correctly and get over the mistakes we could have made while using the different equipment. This helps for us to save time when it came to our film as we already learnt how to use different aspects that contributed to the final film that we was going create.

As we only had one camera, to be able to film both people as they added to the conversation, what we had to do was film the conversation twice exactly. Once from over one persons shoulder then again from the other persons shoulder then crop to separate things that are said and sequence both conversations into one so that while the whole conversation is taking place you see the persons face that is talking as the clip is watched.
This clip can be watched and if there are any mistakes throughout we can make sure while filming the actual film we can make sure we don't make the same mistakes again. We also learnt what camera shots are best used appropriately and also look at the setting we use, if it is suitable the thriller and it will allow us to make a much professional film.
