Preliminary Task

The Names of the people in my group were Mollie Neal (Me), Ellie Macgreger, Shirley Kirby and Billy Saxon. For this Preliminary task we decided to film in our school's sixth form coffee bar. We chose this because we thought it had a lot of space and a good area to change the position of the camera when filming. We needed a door way as one of our main focuses was match on action so we needed to do a film of one of the characters walking through the door way but we wanted continuous flow so we filmed from behind the character walking through the door and then we filmed from inside the coffee bar filming them walking in the door. This is so we could make our video flow very fluently. The equipment we used was Canon Legria camcorder to film our video. Then we used plus Adobe Premiere editing software so we could edit our videos so it continuously flowed.We were practicing many skills with this task including: Match on action, show reverse shot and over the should shot. Most of the task went well and we worked together as team and we all played different roles. Ellie and Shirley were the two characters and Myself and Billy worked on filming and decided what different shots would look best for each take. The thing we struggled on was trying to get over the shoulder shots without making the background the main focus of the video. So we had to re-take some videos so we got the best possible outcome.
