1 min re-shoot

A re-shoot of the opening scene from the famous Thriller Film "Misery". We tried to bring a similar scene using our own tools and one of the classes at Harris Academy Bromley as our location. As for the sound we managed to take the sound of the actual footage and adapt it to our video through editing. The camera angles are very similar, almost identical to the original opening as well as our character's actions and movements.





                           This is the original scene for our retake.

Preliminary task



This was a shoot where me and my group first practiced the use of camera , by putting to work what we had learned in theory about the camera angles , sound , lighting and editing. The location was one of the school empty classes and the actors were all students from our preliminary task group. The overall filming went really well as we managed to follow the 180 degree rule during the dialogue ,which means both of the characters have the same left/right relationship to each other. If broken this rule would disrupt the scene and disorient the audience. We also managed to use the over the shoulder shot where the back back of the shoulder and head of one person is used to frame the image of whatever the camera is pointing toward, during the discussion. This was a preparation for us for the final thriller shooting so we knew where to not make the same mistakes twice and improve our overall skills as a group.
