1/10/09, Thursday, begin filming

Today my group began our filming. Without the help of Lisa's organisation of the type of shorts taken during filming, the plan wouldn't had been as successful. My task was to film Annabell working by using a variety of different angles such as and Lisa's task was to film Vidur. The filming took place at our own pace. The reason for this was to not waste time.
1. Fading in mid-shot of girl sitting down at the desk, taking out her books and things to work.
2. Close up shot of her pressing play on her ipod. (At this point we will use sound effects, and the song of our choice is the 'Pink Panther' theme tune). The type of sound effect is
diegtic/ambient where the only sound playing in the film is the music played by her earphones.
4. Whilst lisa does a tracking shot of Vidurs shoes and walking towards the building, I use a cross-cutting, then flicking to a closer shot of Annabell working.
6. We did many attempts to do an extreme close-up of Annabell's eyes. This is to show the audience of how much she is concentrated on her work.
10. Reaction shot of Annabell looking up at the boy. A close-up shot of her facial expression is used to show her body langauge.
11. She thens presses pause on the Ipod where an extreme close-up is taken. The use of music is not idenitfied yet. The sound is pre-recorded. Here I took many shots from different angles of her eyes. This was to show her body reaction to how relieved she was too see Vidur walking out of her site.

Overall our group found this task simple however my oraginsation didn't go as the group planned. When it came downloading the film shots, many of the small clips were more than we needed so Lisa, kindly deleted the ones that weren't relevant to our clip. My disorganisation was because I had mistakenly filmed 'Lisa's task', "shot reaction shot". This is were two people are having a conversation and the camera shoots at the character individual.

Filming with different type of shots is very Intriguing to me, however my ideas had led to shooting to many shots, having some that were relevant and some that were irrelevant
