FILMING AND EDITING PRACTICE- WAITING ROOM

Before I started filming and working on my own short film, I had some practice within the lesson. We were given some very brief details about what had to occur in the film and were given a camera in our groups.

It had to be a short film, without any speech, and the instructions of what to happen was basically: 

A person is standing alone on their mobile phone

Someone else goes to greet them 

Person A sees something shocking on their phone and walks out

Person B stands confused and shocked. 

So, my group decided to make some changes and make it appear like some kind of waiting room. It was completely silent, but during editing practice, I put a ticking clock sound in the background to demonstrate how this was based around waiting and that what was happening in the film was taking a long time. Also, when person A went to pick up her phone after it rang, I edited in a typical text messages sound over the top, so that the audience were aware of what had happened.

After doing this, I think I am a lot more confident with filming in general and I have a better idea of how to achieve certain shot types, camera angles and movements. 

In this one, I used shots like close ups, two shots, extreme close ups, midshots etc. 

I also have a better understanding of editing and how to edit using Premier Pro.
