My group were abel to film are task in the studio which benefited us as it had good lighting and we were able to film from a range of different angles.
Are sequence consisted of of two people shouting at each other, over one of the characters feel pressured to "do something".
Before we started filming it was important to access our roles in the group we decided that we shoot split the work equilly between the group, such as when one person was being the director and directing the actors, one person would be setting the continuiti of the scene making shore everything matched up with other scenes. while other would be making shore that the lines said are correct and everbody is doing something beneficial to the sequence.
We first started filming the whole sequence from an establishing wide shot, we then continued on to do a medium shot of the whole sequence, furthermore we then did close ups of the actors faces to express the emotion they were feeling, in addition we finished filming the shots from our story board by filming the over the shoulder shot shooting the other character in the scene. We then experimented with some of our personal decisions on what would look good in addition to what we had done. we decided to do some extreme close up of intense moments of the sequence, for example when are female actress storms into the room we have done an extreme close on her closing the door to show that what is to come is not from everyone to here.
my group then experimented with lighting. When the argument between our two characters got more intense we took out the back light to signify the argument is getting darker and more evil as the female characters is trying to pressurize the male character into doing what she wants.
Before we starting filming we had to set up our camera by first setting up our tripod and making shore our tripod was bubbled, this means making shore our camera was level. the bubble refers to making shore the little bubble on the tripod is level(in the circle). we had to adjust this every time we moved our camera. After we had finished setting up our tripod we had to make shore the camera was ready to record. We did this by setting our colour bars on and recording for 30 seconds this sets the camera up to speed so that you do not miss the beginning of your first shot. we also had to make shore certain things were correct such as; making shore we had 0db and making shore that because we were inside that we had the tungsten light bulb and not not the sun, this allows the camera to get the correct light balance and acknowledge that we were inside and had unnatural light. To make shore we had the correct light on set, we had to make shore, from where we were shooting each time that we did not have our back light in the fame as this would unprofessional film work. Most of our scene was shot in hard light as this portrayed the hardness of the argument that was commencing between the two characters.
We wanted to portray the man who was being pressured as weak and vulnerable so we shot him from an high angle looking down on him. Further more when the argument gets more intense we did close ups to show the intense emotion of the actors.
We also made shore that when we were filming we didn't cross the 180 degree line that we had set ourselves. We made shore we didn't do this by putting markers down on the floor out of the camera line. In addition to what we did with camera shots we had to make shore that there was a professional atmosphere on set and that we had things done promptly and did not waste time so we had to use appropriate terminology so that everyone on set knew what was happening such as "stand by",-response from the crew " standing by", "camera rolling" you then give yourself a 5 second quiet interval to make shore that the camera is up to speed, then to finish the director says " action" and the sequence begins.
