How has the excercise helped me understand the purpose of Single Camera Techniques?

The excercise that we did today has helped me understand the purpose of Single Camera Techniques in the sense that with one camera you can make the footage you are filming more realistic.

For the filming of the Interrogation I Was The Detective who was interrogating Ryan who was the Prisoner. this was the first time I had acted in a scene like this or ever in the sense of being filmed on camera.

How Have the Workshops helped me to understand how Single Camera techniques require editing to be considered at all stages of production?

How Did The exercise Go?

I think that the exercise went really well and I Think we all did well in the roles that we were assigned

Did i Find it a Challege?

Yes it was a Challenge

If so Why?

The Reason why it was a Challenge was because it was the first time that I had acted in a scene in front of a Camera,(i don't usually stand in front of a camera) I'm More of a Stand behind the camera and filming sort of person, but it was Fun.

This video is our groups version of the scene

This Video is done by the other group in our class

Critique Group 1

The camera work was good

180 degree Rule was broken

The Blocking was good as it focused mainly on The Prisoner and Not the Detective

The effect of Black and White was good because it made it look like an old movie

The physicality of the Location was bad because we could see the other people in our group in the glass on the Door.

The Fade was bad because normally a Fade indicates a Passage of time and in the scene no time had actually passed.

our group had a Matching eyeline and the Composition and Acting was really Good.

Critique Group 2

The second Groups interrogation scene was filmed in a different room compared to our groups scene.

The Camera work that they did was Good.

The 180 Degree rule was Broken.

The Mid-shot to close-up was really good.

They also effectively used a Match cut.

The Smooth Cut was also very effective.

but they didn't manage to cover all of the Action.

also the acting was Good.
