During this and last week we have been focusing on directing
master-shots with Steve Finn. We were all given different scripts and had to get a crew together and film it. The idea was to see how long we could keep the master-shot without cutting into it.
The scripts consisted of loads of dialogue which made it hard to film it without making it boring and leaving too much space between the characters. I tried to film it using quite a bit of camera movements to make the clip more interesting but were told by Steve to focus more on the character's axis and to have more "motivation" behind the camera movement since a camera doesn't move like a person.
I've found these workshops quite interesting as it has made me think of other ways to film my project than I first thought. It made me more conscious of the master-shot in a scene and how to make an interesting one instead of just using a standard wide shot. It has also helped me when it comes to what to look out for and focusing on when directing.
