In Week 3, we started to look at more filming techniques, such as, the 180 Degree Rule, 30 Degree Rule, Shot Reverse shot, Over the Shoulder shot and Match on Action. On Monday, we understood the definitions and uses of each of these techniques. We made notes and watched short example clips from films which have used these techniques and the emotions that they conveyed to the audience. We analysed these clips and were able to identify which method was being used and some continuity errors that occurred when using them. This helped me to understand the importance of always checking the finalised product and to think carefully about which technique to use in order to portray your desired meaning. On Tuesday, we put these newly learnt techniques into practise when filming our own short scenes. I felt happy and comfortable using the camera and the tripod which we learnt how to use in Week 1. As a group, we were able to think about which methods we needed to include and what that would convey to the audience. In the future, I think I need to develop and experiment trying different techniques to see the possible outcomes and what they will portray.
During the practical task, I decided to use a mapped-out storyboard of our scene to help have a clearer understanding of what we wanted to capture. On the story board, I created a simple sketch of how I wanted the scene to look, the Shot Type to use and any additional composition and framing methods that we would include. I found that having this story board was helpful in achieving what it was we wanted to shoot. The skills that I learnt this week, which included, the filming techniques and their uses, will allow me to develop my filming in the future. By using these skills in my future work, I will be able to create a more meaningful scene.
