This was the first time, I got a real taste for Media. I was very pleased with my group as I knew everyone was ready to contribute and take part.
We were given a story board with a strict dialogue such as "come on do it, do it now I cant wait for you" etc.. they were adimant that the dialogue was not to be changed. Through this we had to create a scene that we found would fit into the scenes and specific camera angles such as close ups and over the sholder shots.
My group decided on having a comical theme of the forbidden biscuits, as we wanted to create something different. This task made me realise how many times a scene will be shot in order to get the different angles. Now when watching Tv soaps such as Eastenders I can appreciate how many shots it must take to achieve the one scene, as it would of been shot from vairous camera angles..
Evaluation of the Task.
During filming everyone worked together and listened to one another as I was the director, I had the role of shouting standing by, and action. In additon I had to say whether the cameras were at the right angle or if the actions were acted in the correct way such as the pointing of a finger.
The fact that the scene had to be shot so many times, made the task tiring after a while but I had to stay on focus as if any bit was not the same as before I needed to shout cut and restart it as otherwise it would not look accurate on screen. All my knowledge from my previous tasks were used in this such as the 180 degree rule as well as focus and apiture. This is when I apprecitated the purpose of the previous tasks.
During filming, the acting and dialogue was very fast, this was a huge disadvantage when editing as the scene became very fast with few pauses, this made it diffiuclt for onlooking viewers to understand the scene and fully appreciate it.
Overall I was happy with the end result and feel as a first piece of media work, it was well produced. As not only did I enjoy the task, I learnt alot, such as how to zoom and focus.
It was interesting to compare my groups work to others as although the same dialgue was used the interpretations of the scene contrasted. For example one group did skipping school, where as another group chose do about a pregnancy test..
Here is my and my groups preliminary task:
