Practice Filming

For this area of the coursework we had to film a conversation between two people. We were given a shot list to work from and all the recording equipment needed. During class Mr. Michie gave us all a brief tutorial as to how the equipment was set up, do's and don'ts etcetera. This proved extremely helpful once we were left to our own devices.  Our group chose to film in a vacant english classroom and once we had gained permission for the use, we set up camp. We chose ryan and helen to act and myself and Sophie took charge of filming. However, due to the intent of the session being to 'practice filming', in areas where the actors were not used they each had a go at the filming. I think the dynamic of the group work well and the overall task ran smoothly. The final section of the task, editing, went OK but we did have a few recurring problems with the motion and sound being in sync. However, by working as a team and enlisting help from our subject teacher we were able to overcome those issues and also feel more prepared for next time.
