Our preliminary task was to show different camera angles and also demonstrate good use of continuity editing within our piece. I worked with Max and Catherine and i believe that we worked well as a team and were very quick to prepare and assign roles. Max was in control of the Camera work and was very open to suggestions from both myself and Catherine about what shots we should use. Catherine and I featured in the short piece.
We planned out what we would do by first brainstorming any ideas we had between us for a short storyline, where we should film and who was in charge of what. Our initial idea was a simple one, for the scene to be someone waiting to go in for an interview then show them speaking with the interviewer. We chose to film in an empty classroom.
What went well?
I believe our use of camera angles was effective as we used a range of angles that were appropriate and useful.
I think that our use of close ups were the most effective as they showed Catherine's facial expressions and conveyed how she was worried about the job interview she was about to have (close up 1).
This is shown further through the images on close ups 2 and 3 that show Catherine's hands/feet shaking that again convey her nervousness.
A shot reverse shot is used effectively to show the conversation between myself and Catherine, however we also use an over-the-shoulder shot effectively as it clearly shows the conversation between the interviewer and interviewee. Also the 180 degree rule is not broken here which helps to keep the realism of the scene in addition to effective continuity editing that keep the whole conversation continuous. This helps to give the clip more of a professional feel.
Here we see another good use of editing where Catherine opens the door and the scene fades out, then fades back in to show her opening the door and then entering the room. This was shot form several angles to first show her worried facial expression, then show her hand on the door, then her hand opening the door and finally a shot from within the room to show her entering.
