Filming our mini brief

Today we decided to film everything required for our mini brief in order to give us plenty of time for editing after. We were each assigned roles;

• Jake was the cameraman when both actors were required, Esme was the other camerawoman. As I was featured in every shot, I could not film. Esme also acted as the mother whilst I was the drunken daughter.
• I directed each shot using the help of our storyboard as a guide.
• I ensured we included the 3 shots required as part of our mini brief; match on action, shot-reverse-shot and also abide the 180 degree rule.

We had many bloopers and takes before getting the shots we wanted. Filming everything in one day also meant that the lighting was the same, adding to the continuity of the peice. Here is a preview of some of the shots we took;

The above shot is the only one that we have included in our final piece out of the three. Myself and my partner are not actors and so maintaining a high level of concentration proved difficult however we managed to take some serious shots which was required in order to grasp the purpose of the piece; a disappointed mum dealing with her drunk daughter who arrived back home in the early hours of the morning.
