Preliminary Task

Task:

The Preliminary video is a continuity task where the group needs to create a short 45 second video that has a focus' on filming, editing, character and creating a nice flow into the narrative.

The video must consist of certain aspects, such as one of the characters opening the a door, crossing the room, then sitting in a chair and talking to someone and finally it must have a clear story line.

It also must include certain shots; match on action, shot reverse shot and a 180 degree shot. 

What We Did:

We started by choosing the genre we wanted to focus on - Thriller.

For my prelim we started by creating character profiles of the two characters. 

We then created our script - we did this by each coming up with a story line for our two characters that could be plausible for them and then we decided on the best one.

After creating the script and the story we went about finding a place to film in. We decided on filming in the school library as it is quiet and has a lot of space for us to move in.

When it came to the camera shots we decided that we would decided what shots we were going to do by annotating it on the script while filming it. This gave us the ability to see what shots we have and haven't got throughout the process.

Finally when editing we did it on Final Cut Pro, we decided that we would edit as a group and spread the responsibility between us all.
