I was excited to start my second practical lesson as I was wanting to know what was next from the lesson last week.
We were in groups of four and we had to set up the camera and tripod like we had last week before we started anything. This meant we had to have the bubble in the middle because we did not want any slanting shots. My group knew exactly what we were doing. After that our teacher did a few role plays with a few of us showing us how to make a sequence, with extra people involved such as a director, camera man and the actors.
As this is just the beginning we kept the camera on the tripod without using zooms or holding the camera. To start I was director, Laura was camera man and Harry and Kate were the actors. We shot the scene a few times with different camera views. We first shot it all in an establishing shot with Kate on the sofa and Harry walking in, looking at her, sitting down with her and then Kate leaving as she is clearly not amused. We then did some mid-shots so it was clear what the characters were doing, and also some EPUs so we could see the facial expressions clearly.
My first filming experience shooting a sequence was exciting and helped me catch a feel for what it is actually like. I enjoyed it very much.
