Other Groups' Preliminary Tasks

In yesterday's lesson, we were observing the other groups as they filmed the different shots for their prelim. tasks. It was interesting to see the different ideas they came up with as they were filming and getting into the mindset of being behind a camera. Each group was thinking very carefully about how the shots would be seen by the audience and this prompted them to change their ideas slightly in some cases.
Some of the groups added in extra shots to enhance their film. For example, one group had a phone call in their script so they included a close up shot of the phone's screen as it was ringing.
Another two groups did a pan shot of one of their characters walking in and the last group did two point of view shots where they positioned the camera in place of both characters.
It was good to watch all this going on because it helped us to understand the range of different things we could do whilst filming.
