Show, Don't Tell Me!

Last week we were given a task to create a short film but on one condition, strictly no dialogue or sound. So the main aim of the task was to edit in our own audio to make it seem realistic and that we had recorded sound. The main task about this was to make sure that we told the story through camerawork and technique and not deliberately relying so much on dialogue to move the naration forward.

Here is the story line that we had to follow:

Two characters (character 1 and character 2) are sitting at a table, and are playing an intense game and one of the character 1 is losing. Suddenly, the character 2 gets up and runs to the toilet because they are not feeling well and while they are in the toilet, the character 1 takes the opportunity to cheat so that they are able to win. When the character 2 comes back, they sit down and both continue the game where character 1 immediately wins.



As a group we are happy with what we have created and were happy to accept constructive criticism to help us improve our work. After our work was published we were given some feedback which was useful for us so that when we next given a task we will be prepared and will be about to put out a video that is near perfection.

Below is the feedback we received.

The next post will be about introducing the production and team logo of our main task.
