CAMERA WORKSHOP 3

Working from a 1 page script to create a short clip with dialogue between two people.

Only allowed to use exactly 4 different shots:

• 2 close ups on the two characters
• 1 wider master shot
• and a shot of our choice

My alternative shot was a shot of 1 guy waiting impatiently and the other guy turning up late to be ushered into a building by the other guy.

Here is the edited clip:

Support Group Conversation from Alexander Barker on Vimeo.

Overall I am pretty pleased with what I managed linking the shots fairly well although I have realised that there was colour change on the close up of tim on the right. This is an error on my part as I believe I did not white balance that shot correctly and therefore it jeopardises the rest of the edit.

I also realise there is a very loud laugh in the background for the first wide shot of the two sitting down. I did actually adjust the channel volume just after it so as to seem as the group stopped talking between themselves when Plamen (the leader of the support group) sits down. This was my intention while filming, but I don't know if the laugh effects it or aids it.

However I will learn from this and aim in future not to do the same.
