Preliminary Exercise (#2)

In today's lesson we were firstly given a camera tutorial on the basic features of how to use the camera. This involved how to insert the battery, turn the camera on, attach it to the tripod, focusing, panning, recording and play back as well as health and safety.
After the tutorial we begun our preliminary exercise. We firstly finished off our storyboard before starting the task. In order to make reading a newspaper seem thrilling we thought of ways of adding suspense. A lot of our camera work involved panning and tracking of our subject (who in this case was Akash). We made our own newspaper main story which stated 'Murderer on the loose' and a photo of Akash which we then stuck onto 'The Londoner newspaper.' Throughout the process of filming, we deliberately took shots of Akash's back and body generally not to show his face until the end where the suspense is built and left at a cliffhanger when we find out he is the 'murderer on the loose.'
