The Preliminary Task

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

During our production task, we were made aware of a range of editing software's, that worked well in conjunction with our camcorder. Gradually we were introduced to different capabilities of the camcorder, such as zoom and slow-motion. This became of benefit as we were then able to structure our filming around our production tools. Shot List

First we see a Panning Long Shot of Ryan walking down a corridor/room, then a Medium Shot of Alphonse sitting down in the interview room is shown. then a Close Up Shot is used to show the key prop of his watch to show Ryan is late. Then a slight Tracking Shot is used to show Ryan's nervousness.

A Mid Shot of Ryan walking through the room to sit down is used and upon him sitting down a Two Shot is used to lead into Shot Reverse Shot to show the conversation between Alphonse and Ryan, another Close Up is then used to show Alphonse's hand point to the door to show the views that Ryan had been fired. A Medium Close Up was then used to show Ryan exiting the room and a Cutaway of his hand opening the door is used to emphasize the exit.

Preliminary Discussion

Through out the Preliminary we tried to make sure that the 180 Degree Rule was not broken, the rule was used in the scene when Alphonse and Ryan were in conversation, we also used a few fades whilst editing to make the clip flow better, a Cross Fade was also used when we done a close up of Alphonse's watch.

A soundtrack of Dizzee Rascal's - Off To Work was used in the first couple of scenes to let the viewers know that Ryan was 'Off to work', the Volume of the track is Slightly faded when Elliptical Editing is used to show Alphonse waiting.

Pros

• We met all the requirements for the preliminary task


• We had a storyline that made sense


• All of the group had a part to play in the making of the clip


• We added a sound-bridge to make some of the scenes more interesting


• We put all the different ideas the group had together to make it

Cons

• Storyline could have been more interesting


• We could have made the sound-bridge ourselves


• Could have included wider range of shots e.g: Point Of View Shot, Establishing Shot, Extreme Close Up, etc.
