Updates Projects One - 180 Degree Rule

The first project that we are aiming to shoot is the 180 degree rule, which we have already done test shots of shown in previous blog posts. The idea is that after school we will of filmed the hole 180 degree rule and have it edited by next week. The reason this may be a challenge is because members of our group may be unable to make the shoot therefore we may have to move the day.

In this video George (as a actor for this short) has to do a fight scene. He said he would prefer to use his brother as the second actor, rather than Katy or I. We decided as a group to keep this scene in even though it was inconvenient to film, as our video really needed a climax, as just two people staring each other down would be totally boring and not create the suspense we wanted. 

To improve the film further I am going to use George's camera with an X-Grip  to film, allowing the camera to stay smooth at all times. Including within the last shoot when it is moving around the character, which we found tricky to keep steady last time. Furthermore I shall be using one of the schools tripods when required to keep the camera dead still. Lastly, this time we are filming this after school, not during, which should mean clearer audio because the corridor will be quieter compared with the test shots.
