FILMING SHOTS



Andy setting up the camera - we had to make sure the camera was in the correct position to film in order to get everything in frame, whilst being in frame and having a great view on the fresh fish and knife, as well as myself dressed in the fishmongers clothing.
Here we see myself (Elliot) in front if the projector screening the Waitrose logo to set the scene. This is accompanied by our tables used to hold the fish on top - symbolizing what a fish counter is actually like - I am dressed in full white clothing to reflect a fishmongers clothing necessities.
Here we can see the use of external lighting to enhance the lighting on different areas of the set.
In order to block out pieces of the screen that we didn't want to see, we used books to make the table taller. This also made it look more like a fish counter rather than two school desks.
We had limited spacing for this scene and therefore we had to make sure the camera angle was precisely correct so that we didn't get any of the classroom in the background - otherwise it would have looked unprofessional.
Here we see Andy, our executive producer, coming closer towards the fish to get a zoomed in shot of my hands playing with the fish, whilst also cleaning the blade of my knife.

  1. Very good work in class: well done. You made substantial contributions to this filming through your directing and acting. Efficient use of time and equipment. Explain how you set up the mise-en-scene of the fishmonger's in the classroom and the work that went on behind the scenes to achieve this, from obtaining the permission of the manager at Waitrose to investigate what went on at the fish counter, take stills, get the ice etc..
