First Blog: Preliminary Task.

Our original task was to create a clip that was under two minutes of a person walking down a corridor and entering a room using 180 degree rule, shot/reverse shot and matching up cuts. The person then sits down and exchanges a few lines of dialogue with the other person sat in the room.

After we were set this task we went on to planning are story line and shots, we did this through using a storyboard. We decided draw on the storyboard as visual representation of what was happening in the scene. We then added a few words to describe the shots used in the scene, for example we had a shot of Callum’s reaction on what he saw in the bag in which I gave him.  In this shot we wanted a close up so we notes this in are preproduction, this was also one of my ideas that I contributed to the group during the creation of the storyboard. We also had a look at the set we were using for the production. Overall we combined each other’s ideas and shots to create a full story consisting of the agenda.  (Our Storyboard below)



The group consisted of Callum, Molly, Lee and Myself (Dan). I found that overall all the members of the group contributed to the task at hand greatly. From the people using the camera to be the ones being recorded everyone got involved - this therefore helped the group succeed in completing the agenda.

The production also went successfully too as we were able to go straight to the set and had no issues with the equipment. One problem we had was enabling space for the camera. However, this problem was resolved with the use of the tripod to gives us equal and even shots. We had to re-record certain shots due to small mistakes -  for example the angle wasn't even or we didn't have a smooth pane shot, This helped perfect the final cut of the clip. In conclusion,  Our use of our preproduction time gave a great benefit to the production as we had everything prepared for filming a editing due to the decisive planning.
