We had to shoot a short sequence practicing how to use a camera and getting used to the feel of filming and knowing what we are doing.
The Script was something simple involving a crisis where somebody had to go into a room explaining that the other actor had to do something with them, the other didn't want to do it. Something so simple as this offered variety in the route we could play and enabled us to think outside the box.
We shot it 5 times, all in a different angle, firstly in a long shot angle to get the full figures in which is often the basis of filming something as a basis, that or a medium shot angle. Then we did it in the medium shot, then in a low angle shot, an over the shoulder shot and a point of view shot. After we had done the basic shots which we could then work with to edit and create a final image, we did a few shots which we thought might come in handy, such as a close up on the door handle which she would use at the beginning to open, and an image of her leaving the room.
I really enjoyed this task because it was some form of experience in filming and gave us a chance to get behind the camera and see what it's like to be in film and media and whether or not we enjoyed working like that.
