The Planning Sequence

We were put into groups by Ms Lynch and then told to discuss each of our possible ideas and see which one best suited our group. Jemma and my ideas were quickly dismissed so we used James's idea for our short film. The original idea about an argument and then a knife being involved was scrapped immediately. After we had decided what idea we was going to use we started to talk about who should film, whats the storyline and other vital aspects.

After we had finally planned after several attempts at getting the story-line to flow and making it realistic, after agreeing where and when to shoot out project we left the classroom to start filming it. I was chosen to be the main camera-man. I found it quite hard to stick to the 180 degree rule in continuity editing however James knew a lot about it so having him in our group made it easier to adapt to and get it right because he knew what he was doing. This made our filming sequence short and successful because we did most it in one lesson because of not having to do many re-takes due to successful camera angles/shots that stuck to the 180 degree rule.
