LO4.2: Be able to record cinematic quality footage

MERIT In our rushes for our short film we have limited number of characters which is a convention of a short film as it makes it easier for people to understand and keep up with since the story is compressed into a short amount of time. Another convention we include is the reveal where we reveal to the audience that our character has dissociative identity disorder. This keeps the film interesting for the audience and allows us to start the film with a slight air of mystery.

In our film we have a wide angle shot, to film this we used a fisheye lens. When we were using this lens, we had to change the ISO settings o...
