Camera task

 In media, we practiced our camera techniques. We were given a storyboard scenario. In it, someone was being pressured by someone else to do something. We had to come up with an idea that would fit this. So we came up with the idea of someone stealing sweets and being pressured by someone else to do it. The whole process went kind of well. We were able to come up with the idea very quickly meaning that we had plenty of time to film the whole thing. We were able to decide what we were doing with the shots. When we got to do the shots, I used the phone camera while the two girls were the actors. One problem we encountered was the location of the shots. We filmed it in the main area near the reception where there were a lot of people. This meant that it was hard to take the shots because people would start walking down the hallway which meant that they would be getting in the way of the shots. This would cause us to start losing time as we had to wait for the place to be clear. In hindsight, we probably should have chosen a different area where it was empty so we could film it. It was a mistake by the group when choosing the area to film it. When the area was empty we had no problems filming the shots. I was able to record that shots fine. We were able to use these shots to effectively create meaning by showing that someone is being pressured by someone else into stealing some sweets. Another problem we encountered on the way was getting the video together. I was having trouble sending the clips so that they could be edited.  This problem was due to my lack of knowledge of the phone which caused the group to take up time meaning that it would be hard to finish off the editing. Overall the process of doing this task was quite good however there could have been some improvements. We were able to get the idea quickly. We were able to decide our roles quickly. The problems we encountered were the location that we decided to shoot in and putting the whole thing together, and getting the whole video edited together. If we were to do the task again, then those two negative aspects would be what we would have to think about before starting which would allow for a more effective process.
