Creating a Sequence
On the 25th of September, our media studies class had our second practical camera lesson, in which we learnt how to create a sequence. In order to create a successful sequence, it takes many takes performing the same action e.g putting on a coat, using a variety of camera angles. First of, film the scene with a Wideshot, then a mid-shot, a close-up and an extreme close-up. Despite being out of the frame in some scenes, we were told that if you edit these shots together, we could create an interesting and unique scene using a collection of different shots.
On top of this, our class learnt the 180 degree rule. This was when one can film anywhere along a straight line, to make sure the shot made sense. For example, filming a car driving from left to right will look totally different if you film passed the line, as it will look like its going from right to left. To finish off, we were told to never watch a recorded clip back on set before filming that scene has finished, as it would be a huge waste of time and money.
