Studio Lesson- Filming a sequence

In this lesson, we were divided in 3 groups of 4, each one assigned to a particular job: 2 actors, 1 camera man and 1 director. We were set to film a short sequence following a script (a story board) that we were given to while choosing our own setting and create our own scene. We used the Sony NX5 as the camera and it produces really good quality shots.

I was the director in this lesson. I learned the process that the director has to do before every shots is being filmed- for example: stand by, camera roll, action and cut. I also had to decide the angles for each shot to maximise the full effect of each scene. We also experimented to try and shoot outside the storyboard by trying to shoot little details such as footsteps or close up of the character typing and etc. I also made sure that we stuck to the 180 degrees rule to prevent the scene from being messy.
