Today, we were again practicing with the cameras. The exercise was to develop our match cutting skills, we were given a brief of having to have someone walk into a room and creating a dialogue between the two characters. With this we had to have lots of shots that when edited and put together created a continuous scene that related to the brief.
We in a group decided that the main plot would be of a fortune teller and person coming in, who supposedly wanted their fortune told. The whole short clip in general did turn out to become a little disaster and only some of the last shots filmed were used because of the poor quality of particularly the setting of: a college. There were some good match cuts, especially in the walking through the room and sitting down and the speaking of the character and the immediate reaction of the fortune teller. Also, the lighting was mismatched, some parts light and others dark. This clip didn't work to our advantage, but the mistakes did make us realize what we could do better for our real movie. Especially in realizing how setting is very important.
