Filming - Wednesday 10th June

On Wednesday 10th June we were given the task to go out again but this time film a tour of the school for prospective new sixth formers.
In our filming we tried to involve a range of shots. For the introduction to our piece we filmed our head of year, and Matt was in charge of filming this. When reviewing this we felt he held the camera still very well, and it was a very good shot of a medium close up, however, the positioning of Mr Taylor was not that good, he appeared to be a bit low and it became evident that we could have positioned the camera a bit lower so he was in the centre of the screen a bit more.
For our next shot we filmed the common room. Overall the shot was well done however the common room may not have been the ideal choice as the room is currently in the middle of refurbishment, therefore it became evident we didn't really think about the setting at the time.
The next shot was a tour of the sixth form block, we thought at the time it was a good idea but it was only when I watched it back that I realised just how long we were filming it for, and it got boring, and there was silence when there shouldn't have been. There were also a few faults such as when we were pointing out the different rooms, we focused the camera on the door and looking back it did not look right and it looked a bit pointless.
Overall I felt much like the last lesson I learnt a lot from this lesson and also feel I have a greater understanding about what is right to be in a shot and that you must consider the scene you are shooting and whether it is relevant or not.
