5 Shot Sequence

16/09/2008

Today, we were able to choose a scenario in which we had to then make a 5-10 shot sequence for. The majority of the class decided to film the "receiving exam results" sequence in which we had to decide how we could go about filming the process and therefore making it appear as a sequence. My group consisted of three people. We each decided to take responsibility on a certain aspect of the filming process. We decided to film outside the school building. The first shot consisted of me entering the school building looking anxious (long shot). The second was me receiving the envelope (medium close up), the third was a close up of me opening my paper and the fourth was me looking disappointed and throwing the paper onto the floor. I think the outcome of my sequence was rather effective as we focused on presenting different filming techniques by using a range of shots. However, I did feel as though we were restricted with time and could therefore not present the filming sequence in as much detail as possible, although the lack of timing meant that we were able to focus on the most important aspects of the scenario. I enjoyed making the shot sequences and hope to learn how to film sequences in further detail.
