The last practical lesson we had, we had to film a 20 second simple action sequence with a PDV 170 camera.
My group and I went out side and filmed Leo running down a hill , which was at a wide shot, and he ran towards the camera. The next frame we did was Leo running towards the class room, which was shot at a mid-shot. The next frame was Leo crashing open the door, with a scared expression. which was at a wide shot. Then we shot Leo running into the class room, and being out of breath and scared which was at mid-shot them into a extreme close up of his face. We then cut straight to him writing something on a piece of paper. Next was him choking to death, which was a close up, and then a close up of what Leo had written on the piece of paper. These were all jump cuts. We didn't necessarily do what we were told to do, it was meant to be simple and one action, but we learnt from our mistake and learnt from the other groups. With an simple action, one wide shot, mid shot, close up and extreme close up. We didn't stick to the 180 decrease rule, which was a big error. We had an idea, which meant we didn't stick to the task in hand, we did get heavily slated for this, so now we know not to do that again! The other groups did really well, so we got to watch theirs and learn from them.
