Preliminary Filming Task

 We started to learn the basics of using a camera and tripod at the start of the lesson. This was following the previous lesson on camera angles and filming shots. We were taught how to start filming on the camera with the camera and how to set up the tripod and use it. We were using Canon DSLR's to film.

 We split into groups of 4. I n my group there were 2 actors and 2 people controlling the cameras and directing. The key aspects involved in the filming task were; a match on action frame and the 180 degree rule.

 Our scene was a boy walking down a corridor, through a door (this were the match on action was), sitting on a windowsill and having a conversation with a girl who walked in and also sat on the windowsill. They have a short conversation (this involves the 180 degree rule) and then it ends. It all lasts for around 25 seconds.
