Filming

    On September the 30th we begun filming for out Preliminary video. Because we had already made our storyboards and mapped out our ideas in order of how we wanted our video to flow, we had a clear idea of what shots we needed. Due to another group also using the t.v studio, we had an alicated time slot which was after the other group. Because of this we stayed to watch them film so that we had an idea of what we should and shouldn't do. From this we learnt that we must ensure that the audio swaitch was on before filming as we learnt from the other group's mistake, which ended up with them having to re-film due to them not having sound. 

   When it came to our alicated time, we set up the cameras fairly quickly. Our first shot takes place outside the actual studio, so it was difficult to wait for the right moment to film where it was quiet and not many people were about as this could distract from the main shot focus. The start shows a girl, (Amy) approaching the studio, then looking up at the 'on air sign' and then opening the door. These 3 different shots, we filmed about 2 or 3 times so that we had a reliable amount of film to 'play' around with when editing. 

    The next shot was from inside the studio where we picked up from where Amy opened the door from the outside. This meant that the door had to be open at the same angle that it was originally opened from the outside. This was an example of match on action. The following shots showed Amy being welcomed onto the film set as if it was a t.v show, where the host (Luke) continued by questionning and interviewing her as if it was a chat show. 

    During this scene we thought about the 180 degree rule and we included many 'over the shoulder shots' in order to make the video more diverse and interesting to watch. In the end shot we slowly zoomed out as the host closed the show, thanking the guest. This shot is accompanied by cheers as if the audience which were in fact cheers from the other group which stayed to watch us film.
