Preliminary sequence task

Our preliminary sequence was a brilliant and effective way to practise using the camera before we used it to film our opening sequence. This activity allowed us to experiment with the camera to get different moods and atmosphere. We found that certain camera angles made the things that the actors were saying much more interesting and convincing. To film the sequence we needed to find a quite location in the school with good natural lighting and somewhere that we wouldnt get interupted at any point. We took the camera and tripod and found a quiet classroom. We had a few practise ones where we could experiment and test our angles out. We found new ways of using the camera to our advantage. The camera stayed steady throughout and the outcome was great. We found this task a challenge as it was a new experience however we learnt skills that we knew we would need for future filming.
