Film I Produced: How I Did It

In order to film my project, I enlisted the help of two actors, Laurence and Barney so that I could direct from behind the camera. The main idea behind my film, is a meeting between a boss and a slack worker, who eventually gets fired. I chose my location within the Conference Suite of Victoria College School, as this looked like an office sort of environment. Within my film, Barney played the worker, and Laurence played the boss.

I started by filming the whole film from the required angles, so that I could edit it at a later stage.

I started by using a tracking shot, as Barney walked towards the door, followed by a match-on-action shot as Barney turned the door handle. I then took a shot from inside the room as Barney entered the room. I then took an establishing shot of the both characters sat in their respective chairs. I then took a series of over the sholder shot/reverse shots from behind both characters shoulders as the other was speaking. I then used a mid-shot as Barney left the room.

I edited my film using IMedia, and imported it by using the Import button.

I edited my shot by splitting the film in order so that the shortened clips fitted nicely together.
