Preliminary Task

The preliminary task has to contain one person walking in a room and sitting down in front of an other one. Then one of the character had to leave. The main task of this short scene was to train us to shot-reverse shot and also to respect the 180 degree rule (see post).

For this task, I was working with Will, Louis and Stan. We had to help each other by acting or filming for each one of us.

The process of filming started very well and I learnt how hard it is to be serious while filming. This means that it is really to not laugh during the scene and it can become a real problem when you have to do and re-do scenes over and over again. But we had many problems : first of all, because we had all the same memory card, we got a confuse between what part belongs to who. Then, after an other period of filming, we had an other problem and lost again an important part of the work. Finally, we filmed it all once again and started editing. We also had many problems with the cameras' batteries which were not always fully charged.
For the editing part of the preliminary task, I had an advantage because I knew already how to use IMovie which is quite similar to Corel VideoStudio 12.


I have learnt a lot about this preliminary task but the two most important things were :
-How important it is to plan carefully the filming (i.e.: by doing a storyboard to respect 180 degree rule, by charging the battery before we film ...)
-How important it is to pay attention to the memory card (i.e.: is it full ?)
