Sound task

So this was to help settle us into how to film, have dialogue (as its a sound task) and also help us how to edit once filmed. It had to be a short storyline, so we decided to have two girls who used to be friends have an argument...

Sound
So the dialogue wasn't too clear. Beata was much more quiet because her character  was more reserved, while Manjeet was much more loud as she was angry and shouting at Beata. This wasn't helped by the fact is was very windy, and that made it much more harder to get  some clear, distinct dialogue. At the end of the film it cuts to a black screen with the title "The lost Friendship" with music running over the top. So what has all of this taught us? Well, we learnt that we need to try and film on a less windy day, we need to make sure the microphone is at a suitable length so we pick up the dialogue clearly. 

Shots
In filming we tried to get in much as shots as possible. These included:

• Mid shot
• Close up
• Tracking shot 
• Over the shoulder
• Long shot
• Wide shot
• Point of view 
• Extreme closeup
• Establishing shot. 

So what has this taught us. It taught us to get as many shots possible, whether we need them or not, because it's always handy to have them on the side in case we changed our mind. It also taught us to make sure we don't get people into the shots, with one of us maybe having to take up the role of floor manager to make sure we keep the space clear while we film.
