preliminary task

The main purpose of this task was to test out our skills and knowledge for the first time by recording a short clip of Sam and jenna having a conversation and coming in from different angles. The task gave myself  and the group an insight on how to use the camera,and think about particular things which we would need to consider when creating our thriller such as appropriate locations, camera shots, character roles and if certain things are necasarrialy needed in a shot.

I found this task to be one of the most intersting so far as i was able to try out the editing programe which myself and my group will be using in the finishing touches of our thriller, i learnt what different things do what on the programe and how to cut certain parts of the recording we didnt need, and how to join camera shots together so it joins smothly rather than suddenly jumping to the next frame. I also learnt the different features on the camera and the correct settings for certain lightings. Being able to use the tripod with the camera also allowed me to see different camera shots which may be effective for my groups thiller film and how different shots help slightly when potraying a characters emotions or importance.
