My Amazing Group.....

Lizzie Hill…

She is a pretty awesome person. She is a great team worker and contributes loads to the group. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to media, as she is with everything she does. I enjoy working with her as she helps everyone the best she can. She has a great personality and entertains us all time. Along with me she always volunteers to act in each film we make as well as helping out with the actual filming. I am glad to be working with Lizzie, as I have a lot in common with her but we still work well together and get everything sorted.

Alex Hobbs…

She is a fun loving person and a great friend. She has great abilities when it comes to filming and she tends to also have some great ideas which she is not afraid to contribute to the group. Again she is very knowledgeable and shows this when it comes as to filming and planning. Although she doesn’t like to act much in our films, despite being the only person in our group to do A-Level Drama, she still has a great impact on the group. I enjoy working with Alex as I think she has a great personality and can help us all with certain things she may know more about.

Overall I do love my group and I am very honoured to be working with them, I look forward to our future tasks together. I have also seen this as a bit of a privilege to get to know my friends a lot better and understand what different skills we have.

Preliminary Task Evaluation

This is what we did… We created a short sequence which included Shot reverse shot, 180 degree rule and match on action. The sequence consisted of two people having a short discussion lasting only a few seconds; this could be set anywhere however, it must contain the three types of shots. For some ideas we watched an example of the preliminary task, this gave us great background of what we should do. To prepare for this task Alex Hobbs, Lizzie Hill and I created a storyboard in which we planned the scenes, shot types and the transitions.

When we got round to filming we had our storyboard and put the first scene into great detail. I played the character who walks into the room asking a question of some sort ours being ‘have you seen Alex anywhere?’ our first shot was a long shot of myself walking along the path to the reception. The second shot was where I open the door and walk through it, the camera was filming from behind, then as I pushed the door it filmed from the front this is called match on action. To show the 180 degree rule we blending both this and shot reverse shot together making the conversation seem more intense.  We used long shots and close ups to make the shots look more concentrated and thought about.

When framing we made sure that no one unnecessary was in the shot making silly faces or waving to the camera because that ruins the sequence so we made sure that when we filmed it we picked a place that was fairly quite with not that many people that would be in the background.

After filming the sequence we had to edit it, we were very pleased with the final result as it appeared to flow well together and we also decided to add titles with both the people involved and small quotations to do with the title of the film all in different fonts and appearances.

Overall I think our group worked well together as the final piece looked very good, well performed and well edited. I believe that my group and I worked well together and I look forward to working with them again. We worked well as a team and made each transition of each shot blend well together. I am happy with my preliminary task.
