Today we had our first chance of filming in our individual groups with the camera equipment. We had a brief of playing a game of cards. We initially thought of a mafia slash nervous players scenario and it did turn out like that roughly. I really thought the clip was a success, especially for first time filming. The editing was excellent, especially the match cutting and fading in and out of shots.
Focusing on certain body parts and extreme close shots were used, such of the eyes, hands shuffling cards and a mischievous smiles, these are all to the advantage of creating effect and intensity towards the audience. I did all of the filming and found it enjoyable but very stressful in the manner of being doubtful i had got the perfect shot in the angle i was filming it, so i had to film various shots of the same scene. I will proceed to use this skill in my real thriller opening, because then it is guaranteed we can work with the footage we have obtained.
We did have a problem with the lighting, we especially hired a lighting kit with a spotlight, that could be adjusted to focus on a small item or a large. We found difficulty in adjusting the spot light to be illuminating exactly what we wanted and creating the right sort of shadows. In the end it did work out and we were pleased with the end results.
