Microdrama: The Shoot



This is the only shot we took
outside due to the weather.

We shot the Microdrama at Ben Brearleys house because we thought that it had the best effects with the natural lighting and the specific rooms. We all gathered to shoot the microdrama on what was a wet and rainy day so we coudln't film hardly any shots outside due to ruining the camera.

Here the lighting was very poor and
not what we hoped it to be.

Some of the lighting in the house wasnt as light as we had hoped it had been so we had to improvise and use a phone torch to make it lighter and to capture those vital expressions. But the worst problem we had was the interuptions by various members of the group making noises and putting of the acting crew so we had to shoot longer than we should have in the end.

This was long shot we took of which could
have been shot wi

Things i would have done differantly to improve the prefered reading of the text would be to add in more rapid shots to create a scence of tension and bulid up to a big scare. Also i would have used not as many long takes, because they get boring to watch and are less scary. I should have filmed mroe close ups using match-on action shots to create more tention.

Shooting this microdrama helped us use vital and key shots and angles by doing this we gained more expeience of what we need to do for the coarse and what actual filming and shootign of shots looks and feels like.


We came across many problems during the shooting of the microdrama such as the rain and the wind, however with the help of my shotgun microphone and dead cat we could get enough of the dialogue as we possibly could. The Traffic in the opening scene also became a problem due to the inconsistant amount of filming time we had between red and green lights at the traffic lights.
