This lesson we were introduced to our new project. We were given an explanation of the course and what we are required to do. We were told that before we were to begin our main filming task, we had to create a small film sequence as a preliminary task to experiment with the filming and camera techniques. I was grouped with Oliver, Sophie and Josh for the preliminary task and we began to create and plot our storyline of a girl walking into a room and breaking up with her boyfriend. So, we decided to record some of the scenes where Sophie walks into the room to give us some ideas about what shots work well and which shots are less effective. We recorded the first shot of a low angle pan following Sophie as she heads towards the room. We had finished our brainstorm of ideas and had just started to create our storyboard before the lesson ended.
