Preliminary task - Done -

Our preliminary task invovled producing a 1 minute sequence in which we had to plan , record and edit the sequecne in order to demonstrate our understanding of the recording and editing equipement. My group who consisted of tre and Jamie , decided to record a numerous amount of converstations between two characters in whcih myself and tre acted as. There were a nurmous amount of difficulties in filming our task , one of them were that our cameraman ( Jamie ) had no previous experice with a camera and therefore we endured a lengthy period whilst he was discovering the key prinicples of filming. Another diffuciltie we overcome when filming our prelimary task , was that we had to produce the recording and planning of it within a day , and therefore was rushed into it without having a direct idea of what uses of elements such as cinematography and sound we wanted to use.

Reflection :
The preliminary task was overall effective as it allowed us as a group to understand the priniciples of filming and editing a film. I learnt how to use storyboards in order to support the development of a film as i understood how directors and film crew look back on them to insure all the features of the film are bieng included.Premilimary task was also important as we understood what shots were effective , for example , within our 1 mintue film we included an etablishing shot , in whcih our cameraman had to climb up stairs in order to look down on the characters , and therefore we learnt how to do shots similar to this.

  1. Harry, this shows some understanding of how the preliminary task assisted you with creating your main production. You have also discussed some of the difficutities that you faced but more detail was needed on how you overcame these problems. Also you need to include screenshots to support the points that you have made.
