The task was to shoot a phone call sequence of two characters talking over the phone. One being the boss wanting the other to meet him to do a job for him.
We planned and created a storyboard for our sequence which showed what type of shot in what place and the order of the shots. We had to plan where we were going to shoot the shots and what type of shots they would be.
During the shooting process we shot all of the first characters dialogue and actions in one go which we named "Location 1". We did the same for the second character also which was then named "Location 2" We done this because it would save a lot of time and also if we were to move backwards and forwards from locations the camera would change every time, the character would also be out of place from the previous shot.
My main contribution to the sequence was performing, i was character 2 so i was the one who was taking orders from the boss.
When it came to editing we had to put the shots in order, before hand we had a shot list which showed us the order of the shots which made it a lot easier when it came to editing. We used clapperboards during the shooting so this helped us during the editing also as we could tell which shot was meant to go where.
When I placed these in order we did a rough-cut where i just cut the clapperboards from the sequence and played it as it was. To make this better I had to cut on movement so it would had a type of flow. This is where i would cut as a character is making a movement, so each shot didn't change once everything had stopped otherwise it would have seemed very boring and wouldn't build up any excitement or tension.
I have learned that it's important to cut on movement during editing and that shooting the shots out of order makes a big difference towards the performance and editing.
