I did some practise shots to test both how the camera works, but also the sound quality. It also gave Philip Fletcher (Peter) the chance to rehearse a few scenes. The camera I used was a Pentax K-S2.
I didn't have access to the location so I worked with what I had in a classroom. The first scene I practised was when Peter realises that he's being fired. This scene was slightly harder as it involves two actors yet I only had access to one. I also shot it as one long take even though I will splice many takes together when it comes to the actual finished film.
The second scene I tried was the first talking head which I did outside a cupboard.
The camera was easy to hold but still got a bit too shaky as I was trying to both read the script and film. When it comes to my actual filming, I need to make sure I get as much light as possible in order to reduce the graininess of the footage. I may also attach an external microphone just so the sound quality is that much better.
