Preliminary Task

Planning

For our Preliminary Task, the class divided into groups of there choice and were given the brief for the task. I worked with Charlotte Hunter, Charlotte Tomlinson and Katie Morrice for the task. For the task we were asked to create a 30 second film sequence, in which a character enters a room, sits opposite another and exchanges 4 lines of dialogue. We were asked to include different camera angles and movements such as eyeline match, 180 degree rule and action matching. As a group we discussed our ideas and considered camera movement and angles, sound and the mise-en-scene. Our final idea was to create a 30 second sequence from a thriller film with a ending which would leave our audience in suspense. We decided that making a thriller style clip for the Preliminary Task would be good practice for the Main Task. We then discussed the order in which the sequence would be filmed, and possible sound effects and audio to be played alongside the film.

Storyboard

The storyboard shows the sequence in which the clip will be filmed. Each member of the group contributed to the storyboard by drawing 3 boxes each. Charlotte Hunter played the main character who finds another character sat in the corner of the Science room (played by Charlotte Tomlinson). I played the dark figure who follows behind in the shadows.
