During this lesson, my group and I filmed all of our preliminary task work. We started out by collecting a camera, tripod and tape and then set it up in the L shape corridor outside of the class room so that we could video Robert walk down the corridor. The camera was set up in the door way that was in the corner of the L so that we could see Robert walk towards us and then pan with him as he walked around the corner. After the initial problem of getting the pan smooth, we moved onto the next shot. We then filmed Robert opening a door which went smoothly and then filmed the rest of our video in a dark class room. We used an artificial light source to cast shadows across the characters faces, but we encountered some problems due to it. In some clips the characters in the room are well lit, yet in others they are almost entirely silhouettes. This was because of the location of the artificial light source and so we know where we went wrong with the positioning of it as it didn't cast light on anything facing away from it.
We used the following camera techniques in the video: pan, close-up, two shot, shot reverse shot and over the shoulder shot.
Next lesson we shall start our editing and possibly re-film any bad parts from the video.
