I haven't ever done much filming before and the first time I experimented with filming was in my preliminary task in which i learnt how to use long shoots, middle shots, close-up's, 180 degree rule and how just a shot can show your perception of someone for example and birds eye view shot making them small and powerless compared to a shot from below making the person look tall and in control. As well as how to try and make everything flow right and most importantly to never have the camera bag in the shot.
I also learnt how to use final cut on the macs and learn how to cut shots using i and o and how to add music over the top and to dim down or create louder diagetic or non-diagetic noise, overall I learnt a lot to do with editing and sound especially when it comes to using titles as i believe I grasped how to use them best of all. I was also shocked to learn how much construction of a film came from the editing process and how much it can change a film as well as the amount of film we filmed but never used.
The most important thing i believe i learnt was when it comes to positioning the tripod you either need to do all the shots at once or if your going to go back to it you need to be 100% sure you have put it back in the right place or it could ruin the scene as the camera suddenly jumps forward. As well as filming on the same day as different days could be brighter or lighter as no day is the same and no amount of messing about with the contrast you will never get it exactly right therefore its best to get certain scenes done on the same day overall getting the mise-en-scene perfect can be crucial, including a steady camera.
Proficient evaluation.
