SHOOTING SCHEDULE

We have had skill practice within fi lming, as we have completed the preliminary task which we had to focus on diff erent camera shots such as match on action, shot reverse shot and 180 degree rule. These shots helped us with practice on using a camera because the fi lming was based on certain shots.

We also had skill practice, as we had to take still shots and turn all the pictures into a short clip, known as animatic. This gave us skill practice as we had to edit it once it was an animatic. We were told what we had to take pictures of, so it was a set story.
