Filming a short sequence with dialog

Today we worked in our coursework groups once again to film a short sequence with dialog/conversation. 

Firstly, we went into the studio and quickly learnt how to set up and use the microphones as last time we didn't use dialog and never learnt how to use the microphones. We then went made our way up to the editing suite where we decided to film our sequence and set up the camera and microphone. Next, we came up with a short and simple script before thinking about anything else. 

Matilda: "You alright?, how was it?"

Poppy: "How was what?"

Matilda: "Your suspension"

Poppy: "Mate it was awful my parents hate me"

Matilda: "They don't hate you they're your parents"

Poppy: "You wouldn't know"

Matilda: Anyway, I've got class now. I'll speak to you later.

Poppy: Bye!

After some discussion, we decided to shoot our sequence with Poppy sitting on the sofa and Matilda walking over and sitting next to her. This allowed us to shoot shots such as, wide-shots of both Matilda and Poppy, over the shoulder shots whilst they converse and close-up shots of Matilda walking in and close up shots of both their faces. 

After we felt we had all the shots we needed we packed up all the equipment and met back up with our teacher.
