Premilanary Task (Aaron's Post)

As in the post before, my filming partner has described the meaning of a Preliminary Task and as he has mentioned that there are some rules that we have to follow and conduct in a professional way. We all had to create a script with a storyboard. My drawings aren't great but they manged to work for me as I basically had to point out to my actors what is needed doing. The main thing that we will practise in this task is how to create a Shot - Reaction - Shot sequence. For those who do not know what this is, it is a shot sequence which shows the shot of the person speaking and then the reaction of the person of he/she is speaking to.

In this clip I will use only two actors for my clip and Direct them in to what I want to create. One of my actors you have heard of already "Mori" and the other actor is a colleague of mine "Patrick". My story is just of a maximum 8 lines. The story is basically about a student who is late for class and shows the reaction of the teacher.

Representation is a key concept to any type of film, otherwise it will not make sense at all to the audience and so because of representation I was forced to use props in order to make the audience realise that this is teacher and this is a student. It took around a maximum of 10 minutes however to complete filming as I tried to get more footage then needed just in case. I have no completed filming and all is left is editing the film which should be fun as this is what we have been practising allot is editing.

Hi

It would be nice to see your efforts, however raw they are, along with each post. Just to see each stage of your project, rather than the finished product!
