Preliminary Task- Camera Skills
What are the benefits of using a tripod and shooting multicamera?
The tripod firstly and perhaps most obviously provides the camera with stability; it enables a steady shot increasing the professionalism of the production. Also having the camera on a solid base allows for easy framing.
A tripod has other features allowing the tripod to move up and down, or make a dutch tilt.
Multicamera provides a lot more options on set. It provides the possibility to film more than one angle at a time. This enhances the efficiency of filming on set. Also it gives the editor(s) more shots in post-ptoduction, leading to more options for the final production.

Preliminary task- Our idea
We were given the brief in this task that two people would be meeting in a room. We decided to do a hostage situation where a grieving son takes his father's murderer, who has taken a prized family heirloom, as a hostage.
For this task we are in teams of two. I am working with Sam Morris and we decided to split the roles. I took on the directing role and Sam is doing the cameraman role. We decided that sharing the editing would be the best thing to do.

Preliminary task- Glyn Smith and Sam Morris
After being given the brief that our task would involve two people meeting in a room we began to brainstorm a few ideas. We discussed a few potential ideas before deciding on the hostage situation. This is our brainstorm:

Research- Director
A director is key in onset filming. Essentially he/she is responsible for taking the script and creating it into an onscreen image. This is a more in depth description illustrated by a Powerpoint I created: http://www.slideshare.net/upload
Blog task 1
In our first prelimanary task we were given the basic outline of a plot which was to onvolve a chase. From there our team had to allocate roles, form a more in depth plot and from there create a shot list. For all this we were only given an hour for the pre-production stage, an hour to film the project and an hour to edit.
Initially in the pre-production we allocated roles. From past productions we all had a fairly good idea as to our team's strengths and weaknesses, therefore the roles were allocated as such:
Alex- Actor & editor
Myself- Actor & editor
Harry- Director
Toby- Cameraman
After this was decided we moved onto the production's content. We decided with such a short time period in which to work that the most vital part of the project would be the quality of the shots as apposed to the clarity of the action.
Consequently our director and cameraman created a shot list of ideals they would like to use and therefore found ideal locations where we could best capture those angles.
This is where we moved onto production where we had to work swiftly and effectively as a team. As we finished all the shots we planned to film I feel this is a good indicator as to our efficiency. It was vital that all the team members knew where to be and when as to maximise our time effectively.
Post production is where our team split into two halves. Myself and Alex took control of the editing whilst Harry and Toby made a presentation which summarised the production:
Editing was a simple task as we both had experience. We selected the correct shots, added the suitable transitions and music. This was our final project:
