Preliminary Task Movie

This is the film I made for my preliminary task

Preliminary Task Evaluation

After finishing my preliminary task I have written a short evaluation to sum up how everything went.

Overall I think my preliminary task turned out well. I think the hardest part was just coming up with an idea that would fit the specific task rules.
I decided on a short comedy scene that would be two people sat down having a conversation. This would allow me to easily get the 180 degree rule into my film and the match on action would be covered by someone coming through the door.
The best part of the task was the editing. Although I had little time due to the deadline, it was interesting to see what music went with my film and how setting the editing pace changes the film completely.
Overall I am happy with how the task turned out and am now turning my attention to the main Tasks pre-production.
I have also got a secondary opinion from a member of the class to quickly evaluate the technical details from my film:
''Stabilize the shots more, this can be fixed easily with a tripod. Good focus and the task rules were applied very well. Audio was clear but I feel the coloring of the shots were a little drab and under saturated.

Preliminary Task Idea

For my preliminary task my idea was to create a short comedic video that included:

A match on action shot, the 180 degree rule and a shot reverse shot.

I planned a short script to help with the acting and decided to improvise movement and gestures instead of a storyboard. I felt this would be easier as it was less time consuming and would have little effect on such a short film.

Below I have posted my script that I used in my preliminary task. Click on the picture for more information.
