Camera Shot Task

For our first time using the cameras we had been asked to create a short clip that will include different camera shots and a variety of camera movement. The clip that we created includes a still panning shot were the camera is moving but the subject stays still. We also created a shot were the camera is following a moving object, for example following a moving bus. The clip also shows a tily up shot, this shot begins low down and the camera slowely moves up to reveal the actor of the object. As a group we also decided to film a over the shoulder medium shot which shows two people in the frame, but showing the reaction of one actor whist the others back it towards the camera to show them having a conversation. Once all the filming had been created and was happy as a group that we have provided enough different camera shot movements, we then focused on editing our clips together into one short video. Here is our short clip showing different camera shot movements:

Recreation of Short Clip

As seen from my last blog, we presented our story board as a group of the recreation from the beginning scene of 'Scream' from High School Musical Senior Year. The reason for choosing this clip was because it has a varitey of different shots, movements and angles such as panning and low angle shots. This clip was very simple and didnt require anything too difficult for us to try and recreate. Here is a video of the clip, we recreated the first 5 minuets of this clip:

Before we was able to start filming we had to decide as a group on a appropiate locations for the clip, and make a story board so we was aware of wait to aim for and how many seconds each shot should consist of. We also needed to think about if any props was needed in our recreation so had to make sure we was able to access them for the day of the recording. Once we had filmed our clip we then had to think about the editing and effects that we would like to adjust to the clip to give it more of an effective and profeshional look. Here is our final outcome:



Short scene recreation - Story board

The next task we were set was to recreate a short scene of our choice. My group chose to recreate the beggining scene of 'scream' from High School Muscial 3 Senior Year. The clip of this is below:

We chose these scence because it has a variety of shots and camera movements but was still slow paced and simple enough for us to try act ourselves. Before we could start, we had to draw out a story board that we wanted to film, here is a photo of our story board we designed.





Next we will be able to act out these scenes.
