3.1 what i learnt by doing the preliminary exercise

in my preliminary exercise we had two actors and a camera man during the filming of it. Loukas and Kitty were actors in my group and i was the camera man.

the first time we filmed, we filmed in the school's tv studio. we had filmed in a german expressionism style with dramatic lighting and in a distorted set. we had lighting behind the actors to give a silhouette look, this was dramatic and very eerie. we proceeded to film with POV shots and worm eye shots ect*. our film was done and ready to edit until we found that the lighting was too dark and the actors were extremely hard to see.

We then filmed a second time in the tv studio and got everything done in better quality.

during the filming i learnt, as the camera man, that lighting and timing is crucial for a good shot. and that playing back what you've just recorded would definitely save time if you've made a mistake, overall i think as a group we were pretty successful.
