For our preliminary task we had to create a short film. In this film we had to prove that we could include continuity editing, match on action, 180 degree rule and dialogue. We started by creating a story board showing exactly what we would show, the camera angles, shot time and what would happen in that shot. We had to carefully plan out exactly what would be in the shot, the shot size and the lighting. We all put ideas forward for the storyboard and combined all our idea to come up with our final decision, which was to record a short film which consisted of Roberta Leary and Maria Rostkowska acting out a series of short scenes. Georgia Day and Maria Rostkowska recorded the scenes and decided on the final angles of the shots.
We decided to shoot part of our preliminary task in the school corridor. We picked this area because the mise-en-scene was plain therefore all the attention was on our main characters. We only included a small amount of dialogue as we did not want our film to ‘drag out’ and we did not want to bore our viewers.
We are very satisfied with what we have completed so far. However there is still a lot more to do such as editing.
