In the process of filming I have learnt a lot of things. Two days of filming a opening sequence as well as filming a prelim has helped me develop my knowledge about the filming industry even though it wasn't in a filming environment however is media coursework.
Firsty I learnt that camera work is harder than it may seem, this is because of the locations, space, and time given. On a hill or an uneven surface it is very difficult to keep the camera looking straight as the shot looks weird if the tripod is not in a certain way. The space is also important because when there is a small space it is hard to stick with the camera angles that were planned to be filmed as the space may be too small. Timing also is a problem as I have learnt that it takes a long time to film and is not as straight forward as it may seem.
Secondly I have learnt that organisation and punctuality are very important skills when making a film. If one person from the group is late or un organised it could effect a whole day of filming and we could have less time for filming. I have learnt that without being organised it is hard to film a good thriller; get lodes of footage; or have fun.
I have also learnt how difficult it may be to use a camera. Sometimes the filter needs to be switched on because of the sunlight and this sometimes ruins the footage as sometimes it comes out too dark. Also the camera is not focused which effects the filming as the footage comes out blury which is unprofessional as it should always be focused.
Lastly I have learnt that team work is essential when making a film. Without teamwork not much work would be done and there would be more conflict than consensus. There are more things I have learn; some of which are listed above.
Overall I have enjoyed filming the opening sequence of the thriller 'Karma' although the weather could have been better as it was very cold. We also could have had more time to perfect our filming skills in order to have a professional looking opening.
