In our preliminary task we had to film a two way conversation, this meant by not crossing the 180 degree line. This is so when you are filming someone, they don't suddenly switch sides. The task was so we could get used to using the camera and the settings on it, we also had to cover the different types of shots including wide shot, medium shot, over the shoulder shot and a close up shot.
We moved the room around, so that the table was in the middle of the room, but also enough room to move the camera around for filming. Our group then used the chair for the girl to sit on and i placed the gun on the table. We then marked out on the floor, so that the male actor could see where he was meant to stand when he comes into the room.
It worked as a location for our task, as we had enough space to move around and film, we had a door that made a noise when the actor entered the room when he wasn't being filmed, so the viewers knew that he was in the room.
I had quite a big active role when our group were filming because i knew how to do the colour bar at the start of the film, and knew how to set up the camera's light settings. Our whole group took part as we all took turns filming and moving the camera around the room. we were all helping each other and saying what would be a good shot to have.
The thought that we had towards using lighting, was to use a hard light going across the room onto the table. We turned the room light off, so the standing light was just on. This was a really good effect because you could just see the light in the camera frame.
The lighting was important to the scene because it sets the right mood e.g. dark is a scary and mysterious.
When we were filming we had to move the camera into the correct position, and then bubble the tripod
