Preliminary Task

Filming

When filming the Preliminary Task clip we used a panosonic camera, tripod and reflectors and diffusors. We then chose a science classroom and corridor outside the room as the location. The start of the clip is filmed in the corridor where Charlotte opens the door, and the rest of the filming was done inside the Science classroom. We left the lights off when filming and used the natural light comming through the windows as we felt that this fitted the thriller theme, an I reflected it onto the characters when I wasn't in the shot using the reflectors and diffusors. Katie Morrice was in charge of filming the sequence and although during this task we didnt take it in turns to film, we will be sharing the job of filming the sequence we produce for the Main Task.

During filming we made sure that we stuck to the orginal brief as best as we could, but have adapted it slightly in some areas. We made sure we included the 180 degree rule, eyeline matching and action matching shots throughout the sequence.
