Whilst filming the scene from 'The Breakfast Club', I learnt about master shots in film. The master shot of this particular scene was a high view point shot from the top corner of the room, as we attempted to recreate as a class when filming (the master shot being one camera shot that is repeated throughout the filming.) I attempted to count the amount of times the master shot was shown in this particular scene, and counted three out of around twelve separate shots.
I played Claire in the filming, and had to walk through each part of the scene I appeared in before filming them. I also learnt that it's necessary to begin filming at least 10 seconds before saying action so as to give plenty of room on the tape for editing between shots, and so as not to miss any of the acting on film.
In editing the film on iMovie afterwards, I learnt how to cut scenes down to exactly the point I want, and the rules of continuity editing. (e.g. the 180 degree rule) The main thing I learnt is that continuity editing is extremely important in editing as this is what makes the filming make sense to the audience.
