Prelim Video Shooting

Our task was to record a video of a conversation between two people, walking across the room or a corridor and getting back up after the conversation and walking off. We included an over the shoulder shot in the video because it gives an more point of view look at the person talking on a 180 degree angle. In out filming the opening shot was a long shot down a corridor, which is hard to make effective and we may have dragged the shot on for too long but on the flip side, the corridor in which it is filmed suits the script, being intimidating and dark with loud footsteps getting closer to the camera. We tried to make our shots flow walking through a door, with an over the shoulder shot going into a low angle shot, trying to get continuity into the shot we blended them in so the charecter was in the same position when the shot switches. We also did this with out closing shot, starting on one side of the door and switching it to the other side at the same point. By doing this we tried to display editing skills and filming skills by catching the same or similar movements and timing into the shot.
