What we did today

Today I did some paired work with Conor Redmond to practice our camera work and film editing. The reason for this excersise was to give us practice for when we do our opening two minutes of our own movie. we were sent out to film on any location on the school grounds. We had to make three films which incorporated the phrase "what are you doing here". we would also have to use a variety of different camera angles and shot types to better our camera abilities for our final piece. We originally filmed the first scene in the hall, we then moved outside and we did another clip in the tennis courts. Our final clip was through the maths block, there was a balcony in the maths block so that gave us a perfect spot to do a high angled shot and several others. I think that this activity went well as we were able to experiment several different angles and editing techniques. I think we would have not been able to complete the task as well as we did if we hadn't have used a tripod, the tripod helped massively as it helped keep the camera steady and reduce shake.
