Preliminary Task 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

The purpose of this task was to begin to apply our micro element knowledge to a practical project. We worked in small groups of three and were given the prompt of \u201cYou haven\u2019t left the house in months. If you don\u2019t leave today, you never will\u201d. With this prompt we had to create a concept for a 30 second scene of a film and complete a pitch for the film. In this task we brainstormed ideas, made a mood board, created a storyboard and then made and presented our pitch. Through this task I learnt that people are picky and not everyone has the same taste. Our audience feedback was interested at the start but lost them later so in future I need to be more clear and concise In the next prelim task where we create a concept and film it, I want to focus on keeping the audience intrigued<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preliminary Task 2: Pre-Production<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this task, creating a one-minute film in groups of 4, our prompt includes the following: must include dialogue of \u201cIt’s gone\u201d, must include a prop of significance being the brief case in the scene, there must be a type of unanswered query. After brainstorming ideas based on our prompt, myself and my group decided on the concept of a 1940s Italian mafia theme of a stole bank heist as the money was stolen from the character ‘Geezer 2’ which was seen at the end of the film within the Crime drama genre. We then divided up our pre-production tasks and I worked with Sean on creating a mood board for our piece<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preliminary Task 2: Filming<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For our short scenes we had decided to film in the practice music room and the hall besides it, this is because it creates a tight atmosphere and tense relationship in the scene. My responsibilities during this part of the process were planned to be acting as the character ‘Geezer 1’ the most important actor in the scene, I found the filming process challenging due to the first attempt of recording, two members didn’t show up due to medical injury and sickness, this impact some what challenged us but we were resilient and pushed through to create an even better recording on the second time round once they came to school for the next lesson, we created an improved recording with better props, attire and our A game. Based on my experiences, something I want to do differently during my coursework piece is to ensure we are more prepared for all possible issues and outcomes and to make sure we are aware of how much time we have<\/p>\n\n\n\n
