Preliminary Task Group Evaluation

In our preliminary task, we filmed and edited a short video involving two actors in a corridor having a confrontation. We did this task as a practice for when we film our opening sequence to a thriller film.

We used lots of micro elements. These included using a variety of camera angles, different camera shots and using different editing techniques. For example, the jump cut and the fade in fade out effect. W

We have decided that the character in our adventure movie will be played by Joe, who will be our only character. Costumes used in this clip would be smart casual as we decided set in modern day, Joe will be responsible for bringing in his costume because he will be the only one who will be wearing costume. Props we will use will be things such as, an iPod to make it look like it is set in modern times. Another prop we will use is a treasure chest that we will make out of card.

We will be filming around the reception of college which we will not need permission to film in.

Our productions main actor, we have decided is going to be George (Tibbett), he will be the sole character in the children's film production and the costume we have agreed on is a modern day/standardised one, this allows the viewer to relate the character due to them seeing such costumes in everyday life, the main actor is going to need to react with our sole prop (Treasure chest) we will be filming this throughout the Long Road college including inside reception and and the car park.

Plan for the Children's film we are going to create. In our film we will have one character, this character is going played by Joe. It will mainly consist of him mysteriously walking about the empty and deserted school grounds through long and dark corridors, while the camera crew take different shots and use different techniques of filming to create the mysterious adventure genre. We will need a chest/box that we will use to introduce the plot of our film. Joe will also have to dress in smart modern cloths to fit the character representative of modern explorer. These cloths will help create and build the mise-en-scene and display the genre of adventure. Another prop we will use is an ipod to make the viewer sure that the film is set in modern day. We will be filming in a well used and available to student's area of the school and do not need any permission to go into, and film in this area.
