First filming exercise!

Today we did our first filming exercise, in college. We did a short film, showing a stalking - for this we recruited two actors from our year group and asked to them to participate in our film. Before we went out filming, we planned what each scene would show and the camera angles for each specific scene.
We used a wide range of camera angles including, high angle, low angle, extreme close up, over the shoulder and point of view. However, unfortunately, during editing some of these angles had to be removed from our short film.
We think that our piece does have atmosphere and a certain pace to it, required to keep the viewer on edge. We achieved this by shooting in the same corridor, this kept the viewers attention throughout and also the atmosphere - it gave sense of continual stalking and so the viewer would want to know what was going to happen.
It could be improved greatly if we had more time, if we had our own space with no interruptions and also if we had time to research locations and pick actors who were focused at all times!
We aimed for our piece to flow well and the shots to join together to form the story and we believe that we achieved this aim. Furthermore, we think that it does make sense, as we kept the story simple and made sure that it wasn't confusing.
Overall we are pleased with our first filming exercise, especially considering the short time and limited resources that we had to make it work.
