We were sent down to the studio in our group and then we set the camera and tripod up as a group, in our group there was Me who was in charge of the camera, Jacky who was an actor, Danel who was an actrss and Anna who was the director. I found that being camera man was really helpful because I got to know the essentials of the Sony nx5, e.g how to use white balance which I didn't know how to use before and also I got familiar with the focusing process of zooming in on your shot and focussing to make the shot sharp and then zooming back out. As a group we had to follow the shots on the story board above, these are pretty basic shots so it didn't really challenge me much. Matt showed us a new method o0f filming that I haven't done before, we were told to film the whole thing as a wide shot and then as a close up and then an over the shoulder shot and so on.  As we finished all these shots we then added some of our own shots like a close up on a door handle and a low shot of a gun being dropped.


The narrative of our short scene was about someone about to shoot someone but they couldn't. And the other character is shouting telling her to shoot
