Prelim Acount of Shoot day

1)  our prelim task shoot took place in the film studio

2) the film studio location worked well as we could control lots of factors of continuity like background noise e.g planes flying overhead, also the lighting in the studio made it easy as it doesn't change with the clouds or sunlight unlike it would if we were shooting outside, when we went to shoot the door outside we had problems with shadows as we couldn't control our environment like we could in the studio. One drawback of using the film studio is we didn't have a door to use so we had to shoot a different door for the entering on to set.

3) My active role in the filming was i moved props around the set and set up the camera and tri pod for filming and watching out for bad continuity when shooting so when we come to edit the shoot together it will look smooth and professional. I watched out for shadows casted by the spotlights lights in the studio.

Lighting
1) The lighting we had in the studio was very good it was bright and constant, in light up the set well and it was quite hard as well as the studio lighting in the ceiling we had additional spot lights these were very bright and hot we had to watch out for these lights casting shadows that could then be seen by the camera.

2) The lighting was important to the scene as we had lots of white surfaces and glossy surfaces in our set so if the lighting wasn't set up properly these could had reflected the light back into the camera, the artificial light of the studio made the set look more real than if we were using the light from the sun outside.

3) The lighting in the studio was effective at helping us keeping good continuity.

Filming
a) when we were setting up the camera for every different angle and shot we made sure we white balanced it focused and got the correct level of zoom.
b) It was easy to level the tripod in the controlled environment of the studio as the floor is relatively flat and level unlike when we had to shoot outside of the door being opened it was on unlevel gravel so we had to bubble the tripod to make it a level shot.
c) Each time we went for a new shoot we would make the actors stay where they were going to be in he scene and then focused and zoomed and that we had the correct amount of space around our actors.
d) In our shoot we closely monitored the equipment like lighting tripods making sure we didn't have e.g. a leg of a tri pod in the shot.
e) The angles for our shoot were appropriate as we had to do certain ones like over the shoulder of both actors, close ups of both actors and a wide shot each one of these shots we made sure the shot was framed correctly by doing white balances and focusing.
f) we filmed the entire scene in all of our chosen shots so when It comes to editing we have lots of differnt options of shots to use. The story board bellow is the one we used.

g) We were careful not to break the 180 degree rule otherwise it would look as if our actors have swapped postions and confuse the audience.
h) in our shoot we tried to handle it as perfesional as we could by using industry terminology like Stand by, Standing by, Role it, Rolling, Action and Cut.
