12.02.2014- CONSTRUCTION: FILMING


 

In today's lesson as well as the free period I had after lunch I personally worked on unfinished shots. For example I shot close up shots of vintage 1920s newspapers, a French wine bottle as well as a male's black bowler hat and selection of vintage authentic 1950s family photos and portraits. I made sure I used artificial light so the props were visible for the audience, using artificial light would allow significant props such as the authentic newspaper and 1950s family pictures to be easy to see. These props were important behind the plot of our film opening - a girl being targeted 'news' as well as homely, 1950s family photos influencing the fact that the girl is away from home or comfort.

Points I realised I should remember for next filming: 
1. Not to pan too quickly when doing panning shots making the audience confused - for example keeping the camera on the tripod rather than hand holding it
2. I need to keep the camera in focus by remembering to check whether the camera is in focus before recording the camera - not doing this would make the audience a bit dizzy
3. I need to use more artificial light when recording as it was too dark in stages of filming not making it clear for the audience to understand or see the footage
4. Make sure I check footage on the camera before uploading it onto the computer - making less time wasted when possibly realising that the footage is out of focus or not visible in areas.
