Charlotte's Pre-liminary work

We have begun by undertaking a continuity filming exercise in which we have been filming someone walking through a door, crossing a room and then sitting down to have a conversation. From this we have had to use various shots including close ups, mid shots, over the shoulder, shot-reverse-shot and longs shots. We will then edit our footage together using adobe premiere elements to achieve a clip that matches the action together in a way that flows smoothly. Before attempting this task we storyboarded our plans for the shots including positioning of camera, zoom, order of shots, location, dialogue and duration of shot.

Further footage we have filmed includes a lip syncing activity in which we filmed each other singing to a Busted song whilst attempting to match the sound and visual. We will also edit this on Adobe premiere. From this activity I learnt the difficulties of achieving a realistic clip of someone singing to the music in a genuine way and the importance of them appearing to match the expected physical appearance of the singer.
