In our film we mainly used simple camera techniques. We used mid shots and long shots, with over the shouldershots with the conversation - math on action. We also had to obey the 180 degree rule to make the scene look more real, and make it easier to veiw from the audience.
The over the shoulder shots made the conversation flow more, and the swaps between shoulder's made it more interesting for the audience. 2 shots from the camera were following ones, as the camera follows a character to and from a seated position at the desk. The yellow line on our story boards demonstrates our use of the 180 degree rule, with an imaginary line across our scene, also showing the camera positions. The line would carry on outside of the roomto near the door, allowing the first shot to be taken at its angle and then continued from inside. We used digital cameras, non-linear editing software (Adobe Premiere), YouTube and our blogs. For the majority of our group the editing, filming and uploading to YouTube was a first, making the task more chalenging, but allowing practice for other tasks ahead.
I think our final product was rather good, as we involved all the points the brief included and people rather liked it. We received two comments on YouTube: "well filmed" and "this is amazing" with 29 veiws within 2 weeks. :)
