In groups we got to practice everything we had learnt this week about sound and lighting by being set the challenge of creating a poker scene. We were given a poker set each, a table and one practical light. We used the camera and sound equipment which we were expected to use for our documentary.This allowed us to experiment with the best way of using them. Here is what my group made:
I am really happy with how this came out especially in terms of sound. Even though we did capture a bit of background noise from the room we managed to get some good sound recordings of the actors. I am really happy with the first sound that you properly hear which is the tapping of the poker chip. I feel like if we can capture all sound as clear as this then it would make our piece very professional. I felt like we used our practical light well because we set it up to deliberately be very dark and moody but we could have possible used it a bit more by directing the light to be more contrasted in some of the shots. This could have made it a really dramatic styled piece. Overall though I am happy with this as it was only a practice and I feel like it did give my group time to work out the logistics of all the equipment whilst at the same time capturing something that was successful.
