Prelim Plan

When planning our preliminary task, we had to keep in mind our brief and make sure that we included match on action and shot reverse shots. We also didn't want it to be too complex because we only had limited time and resources and it was our first practical work we had done. The basis of our preliminary task was a kidnapping which included a simple plot and only three actors which made it easier to film and direct. We also had to make a clear storyboard which we had to work from including sound, shots and plot. This helped with filming and planning. Our storyboard is quite basic but it helped us understand what is going to be important when planning our coursework. We filmed it on a school video camera using a tripod.

Preliminary Task

For our year 12 preliminary task, the brief is to create a short film, including match on match action and shot reverse shot. One of the key focuses of this piece is continuity and it was interesting working in a team with a clear focus. 
My team was Holly Cook, Charles Ryder and I. I think that we work well together and we are in the middle of editing the piece which is a new experience as I have only done simple things in the past. I am excited to see how our first piece of practical media work turns out.
