This week our task was to plan and film our very own short film, this was called the Preliminary Task. It had to include a Match-On-Action an actor entering the room through a door, sitting down opposite another actor and exchanging a few lines of dialogue.
Together as a group we then had to take the clips we had filmed and put them together to create our Preliminary Task, we are pleased with our results and feedback we had from other peers, and had the met the criteria we was given.
This is my group's Preliminary Task. Enjoy it.
Evaluation On Our Preliminary Task-
Maybe you spotted some of the basic rules while watching my preliminary
task. I am now going to look back at my preliminary task and evaluate
the work that we have done. If there are any continuity errors etc.
The first mistake is pretty much right at the start at 00:05 seconds, there are irregular clicking sounds and thumps that are not apart of the film, and it sounds almost as if someone kicked the tripod on which the camera was standing. To fix this the camera operator should of been more careful on where he placed his feet and within our editing schedule we could of discarded the unwanted sounds by either covering them up or in fact getting rid of them.
The second mistake is at 00:21 seconds, when we can see all the equipment for the camera, and the boxes and bags which it's stored in. This could of been simply avoided by moving them out of shot.
The third mistake is at 00:29. We broke the 180 degree rule. This is when actor number 1 sits down in front of actor number 2 and speaks to him and he's placed on the right, this is when the camera cuts to actor number 2 and actor number 1 is on the right, ultimately breaking the 180 degree rule. To of avoided this we should of shot the actors where they were originally placed and kept them on there own sides.
After the completion of the task we were set with, as a group we are
ecstatic with what we have produced. We were evaluated by our Peer's.
The class was was each individually given a sheet to mark various
group's work ours was up first to be judged and the positive and
negative criticism we had was a real success, and at the end result our
group was really happy and pleased.
For my next post I will be talking to you about the Film Distribution In The UK.
