Only just realised I haven't added labels to any of my blog posts so this is very overdue.

Preliminary Task Write-up.

"Confusion" Pre-lim task.

For our preliminary task we decided to basically incorporate a lot of movement into our video which would allow us to use as many different camera shot as possible which obviously would allow us to show off some of the skills that we possess.

When it came to filming our video we found that sometimes it was trick to get the correct shots because Emily couldn't help from laughing a lot but we saw this coming so therefore planned a lot of time for the amount we actually had to film. Apart from this the first day of filming went all to plan.

The next day of filming though we realised that as Emily wasn't wearing the same clothes we couldn't continue filming, so at first we thought we could just re-film what we started the day before but we realise it wouldn't be worth un-doing all the work that we had started already, so we waited until the last filming day and then completed our filming without any problems.

Camera Movements

Tracking shot: A shot that moves forwards and backwards to draw the subjects in and out.

Sideways Track Shot: A shot that moves left or right of the subject, used to follow a character around a scene.

Tilt Shot: This is where the camera tilts either to accentuate power or weakness within a character.

Zoom shot: works on the same basis of a tracking shot.

Arc Shot: Works with dialogue heavy scenes in a shot-reverse-shot way which allows to show the reactions of the character as the conversation progresses.

Crane shot: Allows the director to follow the action of a scene within a vertical movement.

Panning Shot: Where the camera can take in all of the action in a wide angle as the camera moves form side to side.
