Evaluation of the Preliminary Task
Filming
I am
going to be evaluating the filming part of our preliminary task. We only had an
hour to film the prelim so we knew we were limited on time and due to the task
having to be completed in school; there weren’t a variety of different
locations that we could use. So we thought of an idea in which included a
typical geek doing her homework, when a ‘cool’ girl comes over to her and takes
the mick out of her. The scene of Charlie (bully) outside talking to Georgia
(nerd) the diegetic sound worked well as we could hear them speak, as one of
our main worries would be that the wind would blow over their voices. A problem
we encountered was that due to the automatic doors opening, our match on action
didn’t have many shots involved. Also one of our actors Mehrabi, wasn’t present
at the time but came later once we had started so instead she helped film.
If we got to do it again, we would choose a location else
where within the school, at which Charlie could open the door herself to show a
variety of different shots, also we could have made it bit longer and have more
different camera angles in general included. Also at the start of the video the
pan of Charlie walking out the door could have been smoother, as it was hard to
move the camera due to it being a bit stiff, but we could have retaken that a
few times to see if it came out clearer then.

This was when Charlie was about to walk out the door and it
shows a medium shot of her talking on her phone.
This was part of the match on
action when Charlie was walking out the door, about to head over to Georgia.
This shot was a close up of Georgia’s face, clearly showing she is concentrating on her work.
This is a
two shot also within the 1800 range of them talking.
This was an over the shoulder shot, looking at Charlie’s
reaction shot to Georgia doing her homework.
