Preliminary Task-Lesson 2

My group finally managed to film our exercise today and as well as the over the shoulder, two and long shots we also included a pan shot follow shot following the long shot and a point of view shot of the mobile phone ringing. The whole task went reasonably well after overcoming the laughter and incorrect dialogue.

Following my group groups 3 4 and 5 managed to film their exercises completely. Group 3 sang the opening theme tune words to Spongebob Squarepants which was rather amusing and took a while to complete because the class were laughing. Group 4 had a general everyday conversation between two friends and had a touch of drama to it which was different and enjoyable to watch.Lastly, group 5 were having a verbal arguement over boyfriends which was quite amusing and took longer than the last group to film but they completed it in the end.

During this lesson, i learnt that the comedy scripts take the longest to film as they require several takes because everyone finds them funny.and ends up laughing which spoils the filming. Also, that during my shot i had to keep my dialogue and posture/body language exactly the same throughout all four shots otherwise it would not show consistency.

Next lesson we will film the one remaining group and for the rest of the lesson we will be editing our task using imovie and start piecing it together which i am looking forward to.
