Preliminary Task - Miss Georgiou

Preliminary Task

 

My group members are Ellie Holt and Blessing Dada, these two will be the main characters in our film. The purpose of the preliminary task is to allow the audience to see what the purpose of the film is and what they can expect to see. Obviously we are not going to give too much away so that the audience still feel that sense of mystery. Our preliminary task is going to consist of showing some important scenes and showing what the film may consist of as I have already said we do not want to give too much away to the audience without them watching the film.

Our task involved some simple camera angles as well as editing the scene so that there were no problems with our short clip. As cameraman in my group I learnt how to set up the ti-pod and camera as well as using different shots and angles for example mid shot and panning. By using the camera and some shots my group and I have constructed some ideas which could be introduced into the making of our film.

We struggled with some issues such as me filming before the two girls had started conversing, obviously this could be edited out but by having this understanding between us as a group will allow us to focus on less editing and make our film better as a collective. We also struggled with communication issues as when I was filming I didnt know when the girls were going to carry on speaking or stop so I could move position and use a different camera angle to film from.

I believe the preliminary task will assist us as it allowed us to get a feel for using this type of equipment and how to act when being filmed, for example not laughing. By completing the preliminary task as a group it allowed us to work together as a team and share ideas with eachother to construct our film. By sharing ideas with eachother it allows us to then also think and use different ideas that others may not use in their films.
