Back to the future- Camera exercise

We were given a sheet with various camera angles and locations on them, along with an approximate time of how long each shot should last. We were given a camera each and went out into various areas of the school and filmed each shot. After a short editing process, we watched the original extract from "Back to the future" and were able to compare how similar our own filming was.

Doing this task helped me learn;

- How long it takes to shoot a short extract of film, in this case about one minute long.

- The editing process can be fairly difficult, and that to make future editing more easy, i should try and find locations with limited background noise in them.

- In order to decrease difficulty of holding the camera extremely steadily to get a good shot, i will always need to use a tripod when filming to make shots more steady.

- I will always need to book equipment when i know i need to use it

- When planning to film from scratch, i will need to consider a variety of different camera angles

- Continuity needs to be taken into account for example, if we began the filming process wearing different clothes than when we finished it, we would have to change this.
