Preliminary Task - Storyboard

The following images are the shots that will be used in our preliminary task. We may add in or take out some of these shots when we do in fact film, but this is the main basis of the camera shots that we are going to be filming.

Preliminary Task - Update

A quick update on the task; we have now completed the final script and have delegated the roles sufficiently. The storyboard has been completed, further pre production elements still need to be completed before we can start filming. We are all contributing to the storyboard so it will be finished in time. The production schedule and other such documents will be completed in the following days in preparation for the filming process.

Preliminary Task - Camera Skills

The benefits of using a tripod

• the camera is kept on steady if positioned correctly.
• camera shot aspects such as pans and tilts can be performed by using the device at the top which allows you to do so.
• the pole on the top of the tripod where the camera is placed lets you do pans and tilts.
• the tripod also allows the user to extend the device allowing them to have different high angle or low angle shots.

Here is an image of a tripod:

Here is a video of a tripod being used:



The benefits of using the 180 degree rule

• by using the rule it doesn't disorientate the viewer
• the technique saves time when filming the scene as usually one take is needed and gives two shots of this scene which, when editing, can change between the shots for a more interesting aspect of the scene.
• also, for continuity filming, this method of filming a scene is helpful because rather than filming different shots at different times, which may alter things like clothing or hair; the shot is filmed in one take meaning the likelihood of a continuity fault is reduced.

This video explains how the 180 degree rule is used and the effects is causes.

In the preliminary task we will ensure the use of both the tripod and the 180 degree for clearer pans, tilts and also to not disorientate the audience when watching the film.
