Firstly I watched the opening sections of some films to see what the conventions were that made up the opening scenes. I then made a mind map of the main conventions that I would apply to my film. After I had a few ideas I made a storyboard.
The filming ideas were really good but the camera work wasn’t great and could have been improved a lot. To improve the camera work we should have used a tripod, this would have made the camera shot much more steady which would make the quality of the film better. Also there were bits of the film that weren’t needed which we should have edited out.
My team worked together well but each person only had one role, for example one person filmed and another acted, so next time when we film again I think we should all have a go at filming, acting and all the other aspects of putting a film together. I think this would improve the quality of the film as everybody would have an input of all the different areas of making the film.
The problem that occurred was when we were shooting Steph walking towards the camera then walking into the classroom, because we realised there were no free classrooms upstairs were we had just been filming so we then had to shoot the next part in a different location so there is a continuity error because the location changes.
There are a few things I have learnt about the preliminary task:
- Using a tripod for the camera shots and maybe experimenting more with different camera angles.
- The mise-en-scene, so everything that is in the shot in our preliminary task didn’t need to be there but next time we will plan that carefully
- We need to make sure that the lighting is perfect all the time so it’s not too dark or too bright.
