Amy - Our set for our preliminary corsework

 we chose to do our school corridor and use one of the media teachers offices

here are some of the pictures: 

we chose to use this corridor here as we wanted a shoot of the main character coming through a door at the start of the film  it also meant that when we filmed the character from the 2 different corridors we could use some continuity in our film.There were not really any risks when filming these shots except if someone tripped over the equipment but we made sure our equipment was places sensibly so people wouldn't trip over it . But we also made sure that everyone in the area knew we were filming by putting up signs around the area.



 in the corridor in the 2 pictures here we had the problem that our scene was too dark as there is not much light here. We now know when we film our final piece we will need to use artificial lighting to make sure our setts are properly lit. we decided to use this corridor as it was very enclosed and showed the characters frustration like the walls are closing in on her. it also was a good way of us being able to show continuity between 2 scenes when the character was walking down the corridor. There were not really any risks when filming these shots except if someone opened the door behind us and tripped over the equipment. But we made sure that everyone in the area knew we were filming by putting up signs.

 In the office we shot from 2 different angles (both within the 180 degree rule) so we could so a match on action shot and a shot reverse shot by having one person sitting on a chair on one side of the room and someone sitting on the other side of the room and filming their reaction to the other persons dialogue or showing the person speaking to the other. we chose this room because it was a large office and meant that we could fit all our equipment and cast in comfortably and still film our match on action shots properly. we got permission from the people that use the office if it was OK to film in there we did not get a written permission slip but when we do our final piece we will make sure we get a written one and post it on our blog. ricks that were in  this room is where we filmed on the window sill to we could keep the 180 degree rule and make a good over the shoulder shot is meat that the camera could have fallen on the characters head while filming we made sure this did not happen by holding the camera steady and making sure it did not fall.
