Preliminary Exercise

Today we actually filmed the prelim exercise. it was really enjoyable and we had our storyboard all ready to go and so we just had to follow it off. we had a little trouble at one point because we wanted to use a pan shot to see the person come in but sadly we had to use match in action. This wasn't difficult to do it just meant that we had to go back and film a couple of things again to make sure they worked. the hard part of the task was we wanted to film a POV shot and i needed to hold the camera because i was the actor being used. we decided not to use the tripod as then it would be more realistic because you are always moving. This also is the way the POV shots are done in Peep Show so i think this was the right thing to do. The hard part was trying to think how i would follw somebody walking towards me. would i pan up to keep there head in shot or wood i keep it level. Another thing that i found difficult was the continuity. Because w e did it in a classroom with peoples stuff in we had to make sure that no one came ina and picked up there stuff or moved it so this was a problem as the lesson drew to a close.
