In this week, we have further learned how to apply the script to the actual film making. If a group of people are engaged in a passionate debate on the set, they are probably discussing screen direction. Although it is not a function of what camera you use, screen direction is a subject of daily concern. It seems that everyone wants to rewrite the rules of film. Actually, they aren’t really ruling of film, but the observed phenomena of human perception. Through the group discussion of excercise4, I found that we all have different perspectives for a script, for the stories and dialogues that haven’t formed into scenes yet, we have thousands way of expression, but we must choose to grasp the key points, highlight the priority of the characters in different situations. We shared our thoughts and image of each shot, and drew the floor plan to help understanding.

We have shared and communicated our work for excersice3 on class, I found this time shooting was quite easier than the first time. Before starting the work, I drew a floor plan for the scene, which gave me a probable image of the whole scene, and I ask for someone else to act this scene, therefore I can focus on shotting. Although, there are still huge room for improvement. For the environment choosing, I didn’t find a proporate place which strictly matches the environment in the script, so I tried to ignore some details or find some similar substitutes without affecting the plot. However, Robin mentioned me that the character in the last scene back to the place in the beginning looks inconsistent, and the backgrounder music that I chose is inappropriate will makes me pay more attention on the next shooting work. Continuity in filming is very important. I also try to use some shooting techniques to make the character story and the scene more closely related.
