In our First session we were introduced to the basics of film. We were taught about basic types of camera angles and shots. These included: Over the shoulder, close up, medium shot and long shot. After this, we were split into groups and tasked with creating a short piece comprised of six separate shots. Our group was stationed in the attic and we all took turns in shooting a scene each. I also played a part in our film. When we had finished, we returned to the group and watched each others films. We discussed the pros and cons of each film, keeping in mind that these were our first attempt and were also unedited.
We also had an acting master class where we were given a scene from a film and were asked to read over it, decide what camera angles would be used at what stages in the scene, where the actors would be and the try and recreate the scene with those ideas in mind. afterwards we were shown the real thing. It seemed like we all had similar ideas as to how the scene was staged and shot and those ideas also matched the film.
