Preliminary Task

Our group decided to use the preliminary task, we did this so we could see how the cameras tripods and editing work as this was the first time we will be using the cameras. We also used this as a way to see how our group would react when being filmed by a camera. We tried to use a number of different camera shots for example panning shot, reaction shot and close up. We decided to locate our task within the hall as it was a quiet location to film and gave us a lot of space to change the camera angle, through this process our group learnt that the cameras and tripods are not very hard to work and is a very easy way to shoot panning shots but also close ups we also found out what worked and didn't work when it came to filming the task. After discussing with my group we have decided that the two boys are going to be the actors and the two girls are going to be the directors as we were all better at our designated roles, we have also found out that we will need a quiet location as the cameras can pick up on a little bit of noise and can ruin the take so this is why we have decided to film our thriller in a forest.
