Preliminary Task - Filming

Last week we filmed our scenes for our preliminary task. Overall, the filming went well and we managed to record all the scenes the way we wanted to from our original ideas. When we come to start editing in the near future we believe we can really put together a quality opening to our film. 

Some of the positives of the process were that we worked efficiently as a team, allocating roles quickly and appropriately, and we were able to manage our time well. We also managed to achieve a wide range of camera angles and movements with our filming. After editing this will make the final film look both professional and realistic. As a group we also believed that the location worked well in terms of the office environment we were trying to achieve and although in some respects the room may have originally been too big to film in, through some clever use of camera angles we have managed to make the room appear an appropriate size and location.

There were some things, however, that we found more challenging. For example when we filmed a corridor scene there were people in the room next to it and you could hear some of them talking in the background, which was not part of the effect we wanted to achieve. However having said that, we managed to find a solution by turning off the audio in the clip (there is no dialogue) and adding dramatic music to build tension and uncertainty.
