Prelim Task

Preliminary Task

In this preliminary task I have been given the task of filming somebody walking through a door and then sitting down at a table then exchanging two bits of dialogue each. I have to include an action match a shot reverse shot and the 180 degree rule. The story behind this is that the person walking through the door is recieving results on whether he is insane or not. The person sitting down is a doctor giving out the results.

Dialogue

Patient - Me

Doctor - Guy

-Hello, how are after your little….episode

-I’m fine I don’t know what really happened that night

-It’s okay that’s why you’re here, to help yourself

-To help myself?!? I don’t need help I’m not insane!!!!!

-Actually you are (hands sheet)

Storyboard

 

Filming

Me and Guy did filming over the course of an hour and a half. We managed to film everything ourselves with the use of a tripod. We only used the tripod in one scene where there is a pan from me to Guy. 

Editing

Guy and I edited out prelim task video on Adobe Premier Pro. This is a piece of video editing software which me and Guy have had previous experience with. Allbeit experience we have not much experience with Premier Pro however it is a very simple program to use so we were able to get editing straight after filming. We managed to finish editing in a little under 2 hours. We downloaded some free source music to have at the end of our clip. Unfortunately a I cannot include this sound into my blog. Other than that we left all the ambient sound in aswell as dialogue. Our filming was not perfect so we had to cut some clips down but the final product obeys the 180 ° rule and we have made sure that it follows continuinity. 

Evaluation

I believe that Guy and myself have been able to create a good short fil for our prelim task. In creating this we have both been able to learn certain ways of filming to get the best shots and also we have work well as a team. We have both had good creative ideas and they ultimately helped to make our film as good and as quickly as we could. We both did the editing so we both have gained experience in that field. In terms of the actual film, I think that when I come to do the final task I would be able to make a better production because of the learning I have done with this task. I would also have a lot more time in which I can create the production.
