In the previous lesson we were given a brieft to produce our own clip. A scenario where there is a character who walks into a room and has a conversation with another character sitting opposite them. While acting out the scene we were told to use a number of camera angles as well as the 180 degree rule to make the clip look realistic.
We firstly began filming outside of the entrance of college where we got some shots; close ups and a few long shots of the main character walking through the barriers and then entering the college. We repeatedly took a couple more footage of the same shot to check which one was perfect enought for the audience when they will being seeing it.
Overall we did make some mistakes during the filming, due to the camera placement. However, I think when were watching the clip back after adding a few credits our clip worked well with the match cuts we used really made the clip flow in the way that we assumed it would. One of our major mistakes was that we were quite confused with how the 180 degree rule worked, this is because I feel that the dialogue scenes we chose to shoot were rather unsuccessful mainly because the two characters that were in the shots kept fidgiting and there was not much eye contact as the cameras were placed in obscure angles, and also not serious emotions were shown.
In the clip that we produced today we found the 180 degree rule quite confusing at times, and because of this we were unsure where the camera was meant to be placed to get the best shots as possible. Unfortunately we did not do the 180 degree rule right which meant that a small part of our clip towards the end looked a little bit unprofessional, but I feel that now I have researched into the 180 degree rule i will be able to put it to the test in the thriller film that we create in a few short weeks.
