Preliminary task October 2010
For our Preliminary task evaluation we dicided to film in the film studio as we thought; due to the set, it would benefit our film the most. As a location it fitted the scene well due to its white walls which would allow the actors to show up a lot better, this would be part of the mise-en-scene. We also liked the idea of using a large space as this would prepare us for our thriller in January.
My Roles For The Task
My roles from the task changed throughout the time as we wanted to try out all the roles as this would prepare us well for when making our thriller later on. The roles that I did were "being in charge of actors", so setting up the scenes; being the "Director", this incorporates saying the phrases "standing by", "Roll it", and "Cut" as director for some time I had to oversee the operation and make sure we were on schedule. Another role I had to do was be the "Cameraman" this included making sure that the headroom was right and that there feet were not missing from the wide shots, that the white balance was set up as this disivers all the colours in the universe and that if you get white right the rest of the colours will be. Another job I had to do was to make sure verything was in focus; I did this by zooming up close onto an object, ours was the gun and then once this was focused onto the rest of the shot would be. This was very important for when it comes to over the shoulder shots and close-ups
Lighting
The lighting that we set up for our task was very bright but soft, we did this because we wanted to incorporate the shadows of the characters as we thought this would make the shot look moody and more menacing. It was effective for the scene and helped very much as it was able to put across the feeling of tension and suspense for the audience
Filming
For filming we had to set the camera tripod up right, we did this by untightening the bolts and moving it up then fixing it into place. we did at one point have to adjust this and make it taller for shots such as close ups and over the shoulder shots, to make sure it looked good we had to make sure that the tripod was level in each shot
For the wide shot we had to make sure that there wasnt much head space and that the actors fitted into the scene, this also had to be done for the over the shoulder shots and close-ups. We also had to make sure that no equipment was in the shot as this would ruin the atmosphere completly. An example of equipment would be lighting equipment.
Also when behind the camera I had to make sure that we did not break the 180 degree rule as this would make the characters look like they were standing next to each other not opposite if I had broken it.
To evaluate; I thought that we worked well as a team making sure that the technical componants were all adheared too and that as a group we worked well to create a suspense filled scene.
