So in this week, we had to come up with an approach or a method to film in class with individually but divided in groups so that each can help out to fulfill their requirements. Last week when Robin mentioned this task, I was curios to what degree I can try something, I can’t just film a whole story or something using certain dialogues as it requires practise and time to perform for an actor. Then an idea struck, why not just film a single take multiple times but with different camera angles and shot sizes.

But before I could shoot, I had to act for my other group members task. My group members were Farina, Diana and Joel. Joel and Diana had almost similar idea, a journey of a guy from one place to another, nevertheless, I did what they wanted me to do. I think i did a decent job, well this is what they said to me so lets see how it comes to the edit for them. For my own task I asked Diana and Joel to only do the following tasks, enter the frame, shake hands/ talk/do some gestures and leave the frame. I asked them to repeat the actions while I changed camera positions and using a mixture of shot sizes.

I think in the end when I watched these clips, I realized that even though it was a single take, but it did gave a different mode to different camera angles and shot sizes, like when Diana talking in a closeup, she looks mesmerizing in those few seconds and I was astonished if she was the same Diana that is in our class In the other clip where the camera is positioned tilted low angle, it gave a mysterious feeling of what is going on and it provides a kick of a curiosity to the audience.

That being said, there were some miscalculations in the shoots I took, some clips had over exposed images and in parts Diana’s sweater was a bit highlighted. Other than that, I’m pretty much satisfied with what I achieved in the end.
