Preliminary task (Miss Georgiou)

Preliminary Task

 

 

For our preliminary task we were put in to groups of threes. Me and my group decided that we would make our preliminary task of two girls (Ayesha and Me) having an argument in a corridor at school. We used a variety of camera shots while shooting our vidoe and when we completed making it we moved on to editing it to make it a continuous clip.

 

The camera shots we used were ...

• Close up - We used this at the begining of our preliminary task when Ayesha was coming down the stairs and we started off by showing a close up of her feet. Also when she was opening the door we done a close up of her face.

• Zooming out - We used this camera shot again when Ayesha was coming down the stairs and we were zooming out of her feet to show her whole body.

• Match on action - When Ayesha was walking from the staircase to the door and the camera was following her. Also when she was walking through the corridor.

• Point of view - When I was bending down to pick up my books the camera was behind me to show the audience my point of view of what i can see and how i can see it.

• Mid-Shot - When me and Ayesha were arguing about whos fault it was about the books dropping and it showed both of them in the corridor together.
  

One thing i thought went well in our preliminary task was the different use of camera shot and the variety of angles we used and how they went quite smooth and steady seeing as we used the tripod well, but one thing that i felt was a problem in our preliminary task was finding a good location to record our argument seeing as the corridors were too narrow to fit our tripod in but we managed it.

One big difficulty i thought me and my group faced was handling the tripod seeing as it was so big that it was hard to fit through the corridors whilst recording and it was difficult getting it through doors, but we managed by trying not to record much in the ally ways and through the doors.

I think that me and my groups stregnths are more with handling the camera, because we feel as if we can choose good shot to use at the right place and right times.

This task assisted us very well with planning our thriller because it helped us get a feel of how it was going to be and roughly how long it would all take us. We got a chance to see what it was like using the camera and gave us ideas on what are good shots to use for our thriller.
