Dialogue sequence - filming and editing

For this workshop we set up a short dialogue sequence and we each took turns setting up the shots and filming different sections. I was one of the actors in the sequence so I filmed the sections with Iside as the actor. I zoomed in on her eyes and then focused the camera and then zoomed out to frame the shot. I started with a collection of close up shots of her biting her nails and of her foot shaking to show she is nervous. I then set up the shot for my entrance but another member of our group filmed it. We started with setting up the wide shots because it meant that we would have establishing/master shots to fall back on. We then filmed the mid shots and finally the close ups. 

This picture shows me setting up the shot to film Iside in the close up shots. Because of the previous camera workshops I knew how to set up by myself and correctly put the camera equipment together and set up the lighting and composition of the shot.

I wasn't there for the final editing stage but I am able to recognise the process of using the different tools on premier pro that would have been used to edit the material together. For example cutting the shots at different places and moving them around to find where they best fit on the timeline in the editing software Adobe Premier Pro. The video below is the final sequence after Lily edited it. After watching it I can see the moments that she chose to cut and fit together.
