Continuity filming.

Through the process of preparing and making a short film I had to do a lot of preparation such as coming up with an idea which was possible to film, storyboarding my idea was relatively fun and easy, to do my storyboard I just broke down my idea/ story shot by shot to make it easier to film and get each shot that is needed to make the film understandable. I used cinematography such as panning movement’s being slow to show the mood of being sad and to make an energetic scene the panning movement would be fast with lots of movement. Editing choices I have choose are to have each shot flow with each other and each cut to work with the mood of the scene and also in time with the background music. The camera was handled on a tripod instead of hand held or using a crane or track, using the tripod made it easier to make shots steady and not unsettled, also it gives you chance to be able to shoot steady smooth panning shots. Problems that occurred was the storyboard had too much to do where as we did not have enough time to do all that was written down, so we just took stuff out of the storyboard an made it shorter. Things I would do again to improve would be getting the shots exactly right and timed right so that editing and piecing it together would be made easier.
