Reflection on filming 5 shot sequence

When filming the 5 shot sequence, i was in a group with Maya and Enshell. We had to base our filming on receiving our exam results, the aim was to use a number of different shots and camera movement. Our first shot was we and Maya walking up the stairs, with results in hand, and this was a birds eye shot and panning us walking up stairs. The second shot was a medium to close-up shot of us walking up the top of the stairs, we also zoomed out as we got closer to the camera. The third shot was me and Maya walking away from the camera, with use of a medium shot, and a slight zoom in. For our 4th shot, it was me and Maya opening our results, the shot was a close-up, with a track movement use, to follow us into a different room. The final shot was me consoling Maya, as he got bad results and this was also a tracking movement to a different room, but a zoom was also used, to go from a long shot to a medium shot. 

The filming was very useful as it was our first attempt at filming, and gave us more of an understanding to different shot types and movements. Other things i learnt during our time filming was not to film in front of windows, with sunlight shining through. All together it was a helpful task, which gave us more of an understanding.

This is good Adam. You can see how useful it is to reflect on production work as soon as you can, so that you can learn how to do it better next time. Your group chose a great shot with the zooming pan into the sixth form office.
