First Filming Project

This was our first filming project as a group, we were given a list of shots that had to be included with descriptions of angles. We found doing this was fun and not too difficult and realised we work well as a group. The sequence included Samantha walking up a flight of stairs, then going towards a door, checking the time and walking through the door. Overall we found that we didn't come across any difficulties in filming however when it came to importing the file, due to dust within the camera or tape, some of the shots were distorted. This is visible when Samantha walks towards the door. This also led to us re-filming one of the shots (close up of time on phone) which we didn't film for long enough and so we feel that this is a weak point of our video as it jumps a little and isn't on screen for long enough; however we're really happy with the scene where Samantha opens the door and walks through it as we feel that the different angles run fluently.

We framed our shots properly according to the sheet we were given, we made sure to take note of how close or far away to be etc. We had to make 9 shots and we thought through the way we would edit them together, for example when Samantha checks her phone we decided to film this as one shot and split it so that we could add in the close up of the phone.
With the pace, we think that when Samantha walks up the stairs and then we cut to a close up of her foot, the close up pace does not exactly fit the pace from before, so now we know in future to think about pace when filming from different angles.

We're pleased with our first film project.
