AS practice filming blog

Task: create a short clip for practice of someone reading a newspaper in an interesting way.

We started the filming after a short tutorial on how to use the video cameras. after the tutorial, we had to make sure our storyboard was complete. The storyboard was important as it was the plan, and had details on what we wanted to complete. Later my group (Me and Nicole- the rest were absent) started filming.  when filming we were not very happy with the camera work, because it was difficult with 2 people. Some camera shots and angles could not be carried out as it did not really make sense. The OVS(over the shoulder) shot was the most successful, as the camera's angle was  at eye with the viewers.

The following lesson we started editing. We realised there was a vast amount of scrappy pieces that we did not need, and some shots weren't good enough.  Our shots did make sense, but didn't piece together well. When editing we had to rewind a clip to make more sense, cut, and import sound.

I learnt that the mise en scene is very important as it needs to link with the footage.  The mise en scene helps the audience create an idea of where the scene is set, or what it's going to be about.
