Practice

Unfortunatley i was ill for the pracitce session but my group took me through everything that they did.

The reason for the practice was so everyone could get used to the equipment we would be using throughout our filming sessions.

They practiced different shots with the camera so they could get used to what fucntions the buttons have and so that they were more confident with the camera in general so that our opening would be good. All the group used the camera during the prelim but we wanted our movie opening to be better and more professional than our first film together.

Another thing the group needed to test was the microhphone. The group needed to test this as we didnt have one during our prelim so therefore it was a new peice of equipment for the group to use.

Another piece of equipment used was the tripod. This our group used well in our prelim but for our short film we needed to furthur our skills for example by working out the best way to do tilts and the best angles for it to be on.

I am very lucky my group went and did this whilst i was ill as they were both really good when it came to filling me on details and helping me to learn all the techniques they had already picked up :)
