In today's lesson we were tasked with producing our own clip based on the idea that was given to us in class, which was to create a scenario where there is a character who walks into a room and shares a few lines of dialogue with another character sitting opposite, while acting out this scenario we were told to use a number of camera angles that we were taught in class, we also tried to implement the 180 degree rule to make our clip as realistic as possible.
We started filming outside of the college to get some outside shots and to introduce the main character, we then got some close ups and a few long shots of the main character walking through the college gates and then entering the college, we tried to make the shots as realistic as possible by thinking about the camera placement because when you shoot the clips you need to continuously think about what the audience will see when they are watching it on the big screen.
Unfortunately we did make some mistakes regarding the camera placement but I think for the majority of our clip was shot in the way that looked right when we watched it back on the big screens, I think that all the match cuts we used worked well and really made the clip flow in the way that we wanted it to, one of our major mistakes was the fact that we were a little confused with how the 180 degree rule worked, and because of that I feel that the dialogue scenes that we shot were unsuccessful mainly because the two characters that were in the shots kept moving and there was no eye contact because the cameras were placed in obscure angles.
