Preliminary shots

Our preliminary shots were fairly successful we kept tried to not make the mistakes that we made during the experimental work. however we did change and add a few different shows and didnt stick to using a tripod as it was awkward to get the right angle/height that we wanted. We mananaged to stick to the 180 degree rule and tried to keep the same level but sometimes that went off a little. We experiemted using a panning shot having our person walking outside and the camera looking through the window This worked nicely however because the window was too high for the tripod we did it as a handheld shot so that getting the level the same was a little bit tricky and took us a fair few tries .

For our prelim we used pnning shot , CU , MS , LS

experimental footage

From our experimental footage we learnt that if we dont stick to the 180 degree rule the continuity doesnt match up we found this out when we were practising shooting the same scene from several positions. Also we made lots of silly mistakes such as accidently cutting out half of someones face  because the proximity of the actors was wrong. Also not keeping the camera steady was one of the main problems we had when no using a tripod. Another mistake we kept making was that we didnt keep the camera level the same  which also messed up the  continuity of the footage expecially when doing moving shots. Also we learnt that when planning a shot its best to story board the shots so you are more prepared when starting to film and you know exactly what it is you are going to do.  When shooting the dialogue we tried various shots  , close up , over the sholder  , mid shot etc  and we found that some were more successful than other and look much more effective .
