starting yr 13

I have now moved into yr 13 doing A2 coursework, as a practice exercise we were set the task of filming a short sequence of a meeting of our choice. To do this we were given a kodak flip camera and a tripod and a set list of shot types, mid shot, close up.
The groups turned out to be a lot larger than previously thought, this was a set back as we had to film to meetings. In my group our first one was a scam investment meeting. This worked well because we had the right setting in school and a mix of girls and boys. The second was just two boys, with this cast we decided to do a drug deal.
The shot types we used were:

  • Pans to the left and right.
  • Tracking shots.
  • Mid shots.
  • Close ups.
The picture to your left is the newer version of the kodak flip camera used. We also used a tripod to create a smooth transition of action in the sequence. This camera is perfect for this as it has mobility. 
We were given clear safety instructions to keep within school grounds and to create a hazardous situation. In our group we made a story board of the action and one of the benefits of doing two sequences was that everyone experienced two roles in filming.
