Account of shooting preliminary task

In out preliminary task we shot the scene in out classroom.The whole group felt this was a good location as it had a door and a table which was very useful for shoting the scene. My job was to help set up the lighting and camera, but during the filming i was holding the mic. The mic i used was a directional mic so i had to point it at the mouths of the actors whenever the talked.


Lighting:

Are lighting was focused on the subject sitting at the table to draw the audiences attention. it was hard on the subject and it gave shades of darkness.
It gave a sense of ergancy and focused on the subject.
Yes it was as it gave a sense of Urgancy.

Filming:

In filming we made sure that the tripod was level and set up porperly. We then changed some of the settings on the camera itself to fit the task. For example the light setting was for outdoors when we were filming indoors. We also made sure that there were 0 db's and that the camera was in focus.

Conclusion:

I have learned how to set up a camerea and tripod and aliined the air bubble so it is steady. i learned how to adjust the camerea settings so they suit the lighting conditions. I have also learned how to use a directional mic so this will come in handy for A2.
