filming and editing

In yesterdays lesson we got to film. All the planning we did got put to use. Once we all made sure we had planned everything carefully we got a camera and a tripod and chose a spot where to film. Seen as how the clip would be about someone walking into a room and stiiting down to have a conversation, me and my group decided that it would be best to film it all in our media classroom.
Once the camera was set up we could start filming. The first shot we done was an establishing shot to show the viewer where all of this was happening. After this shot we decided that the next shot would be a close up of the first persons feet goin up a flight of stairs. This type of shot just showing the feet created alot of tension. To create more tension and suspense we decided that we would not show the first persons face until he actually walks into the room. This means that the first few shots would be close ups of feet and tracking shots of the person walking up to the door. Once the first person was in the room we sdecided now to focus on the second person. To still keep the suspense we had a close up of the second persons eyes. once the first person sat down oppsite the second person we decided to use over the shoulder shots when they were talking.
Once we were satisfied with waht we had filmed we had to go to the editing suite and upload the video. We aranged the clips in a rough order on final cut pro then placed them on the line in the order they will play in.once they were all on the line we then decided to cut little bits of the clips so that they will all blend in nicely. By the end of this lesson we succesfully managed to complete the beginging of the film. We even put a match cut in . Now in next lesson we will have to finish editing the rest of the film.
