Analysis of preliminary task 

On our last studio lesson we've been editing our footage from last week. 

We've decided to start with long shot to set the scene, show the audience the location and both characters. It was an eye level shot to make the viewer feel like she/he is a part of the action. 

Subsequently we put close up over the shoulder to show Hugo facial expressions, afterwards we changed it onto over the shoulder shot on Tommaso to emphasize the idea of conversation. 

Then we captured both characters in one show to show the little distance, the intensity between them two.  We used quick editing to change the shot and show the increasing pace of the conversation. Then the camera was pointing on Tommaso, focusing on his gestures and facial expressions. 

Till the end the viewer can only see Tommaso going backwards towards the door. 

As a last shot we've decided to add a comedic element, when suddenly the viewer can see Tommaso dragging Hugo along the floor. 

Finished clip last for 25 seconds, but what is interesting that it took us more that an hour to get the footage that we needed. The whole process was really time consuming. It requires a lot of patience and concentration. I found continuity the most important thing. It makes your editing a lot easier. At the beginning it was hard to remember about it but later each person from our group was looking after fluency. I was happy shots over the shoulder and close ups. It makes the moment more emotional and helps to set the atmosphere. I think we could have add more camera movements like panning during conversation - to make this clip more interesting, or to add shots from different angles to suggest who is more energetic and to show their role and power in this situation. 

I had a lot of fun during shooting but it is important to stay concentrated of all times especially when you are a director. Watch everyone on the set and control continuity. It is also important to shot as many footage as possible to make your movie/clip more interesting.
