In our second Camera lesson we first of all learnt about the 180 degree rule. This is when one can film anywhere along a straight line, to make sure the shot makes ‘sense’. For example, filming a conversation between two people from left to right will look totally different if you film pass the 180 degree line, as it will look like its going from right to left when editing. We were also told to never watch a clip of recorded footage back in the studio as it is a waste of money as studios and actors etc are very expensive to hire and it wastes time also.
Our media studies class then proceeded to start to create a sequence. We learnt from Matt that to create a worthy sequence, it takes many takes performing the same action for example our group decided to repeat the action of Nancy walking into shot taking out her phone, looking at it and then putting it away and walking off shot again.We also took on three different roles, The actor, Director and Camera woman. Our group used a wide variety of camera angles for this to add variety when we get to edit our sequences next week. We used a standard Wideshot, then a mid-shot, a close-up and an extreme close-up. We are hoping this will create a slick sequence and with many different angles and points of view.It was great to be able to use the FX100 as we hadn't used it before.
