Students learned the different shot types such as wide shot, close up, over the shoulder and point of view. They also learned movements such as tracking, tilting and panning, as well as the 180 degree rule.
They looked at different types of scenes to see how the filming techniques varied according to the location, action and mood. For example, they learned that for tense action packed scenes, lots of shots, fast edits and the use of slow motion creates suspense. For conversations, they learned about using close ups to show emotion, and the 180 degree rule so the characters look like they are looking at each other.
Dance is mainly wide shots to allow for the movement within a frame, but they often use crane shots to sweep across the room and higher angles to fit everyone in.
Period three we all went to the hall to learn the wedding scene dance.
Period four we began storyboarding scenes 1-4 of the film.
Period five we did some more storyboarding and then went to the park to recce the location and try out the wedding dance scene in there.
