In Camera Editing Task

Last lesson we were put into groups and told to use to create a very short film which contained no desktop editing. The film had themed on suspicion and we had to plan the different shots and quickly storyboard. We went to the school car park with a tripod and a camera. We set up the shots using our storyboard.

The first shot was a long shot of someone trying to open a car door looking. this was how we intended to show suspicion. The second shot was a discovery shot from behind the wing mirror revealing someone trying to open the door. The next shot wad a close up of the hand pulling on the handle. Then we used long shot of two people looking towards the camera. Next we used an over the shoulder shot of someone pointing at the man trying to open the car. The suspicious man then runs away from the car.

Because we were only aloud to use 'in Camera Editing' we had to had to film all shots in chronological order. We also had to use camera techniques to compensate for the lack of real editing. One of the techniques we used was a 'discovery shot'. This is when the camera is moved from behind an object to reveal something else. In our piece the camera was hiding behind a wing mirror of a car to reveal someone trying to open the door.
