RESEARCH

We as a group decided to make a comedy film in the style of The Office, The Inbetweeners and curb your enthusiasm.

After viewing some scenes from each program, we noticed that the camera work seems handheld, perhaps to give the shows a more realistic, documentary style. To achieve this style our teacher informed us that we would need to use the camera on a tripod with very loose settings, Petros and i proceeded to practice this technique as we are responsible for the cinematography. We decided to use two cameras to help with continuity but we are aware that we will have to take the 180 degree rule and not get in the way of each other during filming. We also decided that one person would focus on capturing expressions, gestures and reactions, while the other focuses on more wide angle shots to show locations and or other characters in the scene.
