Preliminary Task
Our preliminary task for the class was to create a short film of someone entering a room sitting down at a table or desk and having a conversation with the person opposite them. This task is to show that we understand and can execute the 180 degree rule; the 180 degree rule is when the camera shots must never cross the imaginary 180 degree line that crosses half of the room.
We also have to edit and improve the layout of the film so that we can correct it and change it; this is to show that we can edit films well and without much trouble. Our film is a simple production of a physically temporarily handicapped boy who was attacked by a teacher and goes to talk to the student help council.
The film contains a few shots from different angles and a title + credits. Our team consisted of me, Freddy Sayer, Tom Allen and Kim Bates. I and Freddy were the camera men because we both have good knowledge and skill with cameras, Tom and Kim were actors but also directors of the production so they knew how the film was going to be shot.
The filming of the film took 2 days of different angles and plot rethinking where we remade and improved our film to the requirements of the task border lines. The film took longer than expected because of odd camera shots, talking and technical difficulties but we saved the film in the editing by moulding different clips into one so that it works and looks more professional.
We completed the task on the 15th of October and were happy with the changes we made and were confident that we had completed the task as we were meant to so we started on the other side of the task like the write up of the task and the creation of the blog for our film so that it can be seen by other media students and do we have another source of accessing the film in case it is lost.
We found that while doing the task we enhanced our skills of editing and filming so we became more confident and ready for our next filming task and work in the future.
