CONSTRUCTION: RE-FILMING GIRL'S BEDROOM SCENE

When filming the scene in the girl's bedroom we wanted to use a variety of camera angles to show experimentation and make the footage interesting for viewers.

To begin the scene, we started with a close up shot and used a camera pan to represent and construct the setting; the camera showed a variety of makeup and the reflection of the female character in the mirror. As the main character in the scene. I had to move my hand across the makeup to show my thought process about getting ready for a date.

The camera techniques used in the first scene included a close up and an over the shoulder shot which showed my reflection in the mirror whilst applying makeup. This also helped to involve the audience on a personal level and made for a more interesting shot.

We used a crane shot was then used to show me reading a book. This set the scene and enabled the audience to get a feel for my character's emotions as I appear relaxed. I had to speak on the phone to a friend in this scene as this will allow the audience to follow the story line. By speaking to my friend the audience is then able to have an insight into my thoughts and emotions about the male character.

The camera techniques used in the following scene included a mid shot where my upper body can be seen up to my shoulders. In this shot my hair is the center of focus as it is long and I am seen to flick it and mess with it whilst in my outfit for the date. The audience is able to follow what has happened as when on the phone I am heard saying i have to "get ready". An over the shoulder shot which showed my reflection in the mirror whilst brushing down my dress and making sure I am ready to leave. This also helped to involve the audience on a personal level and made for a more interesting shot.
