In the session we had to create a short scene using a story board, we separated into groups of 4 and designated different roles for each person, I acted. My group used a Canon 5D to shoot and I was happy with this as it is quite an easy one to use and is easily manouvred around. We used the main studio so we had more space to shoot and we had a mini set that we used- a small fireplace area.
Our idea to begin with was two people looking down at a vulnerable man, which the camera doesn't look at until the end, and one actor forcing the other one to stab him. The tension built at the end when one actor, myself, walked towards it slowly with a knife, drawing it up slowly. As I walked out the camera shows the body and the body is revealed.
We started off with our main establishing shot so the audience could understand the situation and then we followed the story board. Each time we shot we had to act out the whole thing again so that when we edit we can achieve believable continuity. When we completed the main shots we had to follow we added our own over the shoulder shots, extra close ups and other shots that added to the drama and made the task slightly more unusual.
