Preliminary task

for our preliminary task, we had to do a short piece of a convesation, we had to have an extreme close up of the door handle, and a shot of the door being opened from the other side. we also needed to have an overshoulder shot of the two people having a conversation. i was in a group with Dan and Bradley, for our storyboard we had decided to have a person running down down a corridor so that it looked like he was late for a meeting.

During the lesson we had decided to start filming outside the english block as we could get a good high shot from some stairs, which we did. we had also done a low shot of Dan walking towards the camera and stepping over it. at the end of the lesson hadn't recorded all thay we needed, so we decided that we would stay afterschool the next day. the next day we had decided to start the whole thing all over again as we could make the piece better as there would be no people around. we had a few problems during some of the shots in the corridors as some people were walking out infront of the camera which we didn't want. when we did all the corridor shot, we had found a room that we could use for our conversation. we had done quite a few shots that we thought would be inappropriate as they contained swearwords in them. we also had a problem where when we did a shot, we would burst out laughing while the camera was still recording, but we could edit these parts of the shot. for a conversation, we had no idea what to do it on, then we had decided to do more of an arguement rather than a convesation about some biscuits that i hads brought in. after an agreement of using biscuits for a conversation, we decided to call this piece 'the cookie crumbles'.

during the editing we had to use a computer program to make our own music to use in our piece, we had decided for our piece we had done some techno-like music for the beginning to give the viewer the idea that this was not a serious peice. later we added a slow like sound that had a more serious feeling to it to give the viewer the idea that this has become a serious conversation.
