Preliminary Task

This was our preliminary task which was called the Deal that featured Me, Dylan Smith, Emma Porter and Jack Martin Kenny. Dylan and Emma filmed most of this film as me and Jack were the main characters. It was about a deal, which involved money and drugs. First of all we did the match on action, which involved Jack walking through the door. First of all Dylan filmed Jack opening the door and walking through it. We then had to pause it and wait for him to get to the other side, and then he filmed from the other side Jack shutting the door behind him. I was sitting on the chair with the drugs beside me on the floor in a package. When Jack then sat down, we did the eye line match which was me looking at the package, and Dylan filming me looking at the package but then looking at Jack. When me and Jack exchanged a few words before i handed over the package and he handed over the money, we got filmed so there was a shot of me, then him then me then him. It carried on until we finished exchanging a few sentences and then he handed over the envelope of money. After handing me it i handed over the package, but it glided across the table to him. Dylan then filmed us shaking hands and Jack stood up and walked through the door. We then did another match on action shot from where Jack walked through the door again, we filmed from both sides. After that I filmed which then Dylan and Emma became part of our deal. They walked through the door which was a match on action shot, then Jack filmed them walking in towards me which I had to make sure I was sitting down as I was before. Dylan then asked me if I have the money and I said no which then Dylan shot me. Jack took a shot of Dylan shooting me, as when we edited the film we put a gun shot onto it. He then took a shot of me on the floor dead as Dylan shot me. After that Jack filmed Emma picking up the money that i dropped when Dylan shot me. I then filmed them walking out of the room quietly single file through the door which was another match on action. This film was one minute and nineteen seconds which was not long at all. We used all the techniques accurately, trying our hardest to include them which we did. We made many mistakes, such as talking throughout it when filming so we had to edit it out. Also we got someone in our film that we did not want to happen so we had to edit him out too. When Jack was filming at some parts he forgot to stop filming which made the film go on much longer than it should of which meant that we had to edit parts out, and put some music through what bits we did not want to hear. Next time we would want to make sure we are in a quite place, with no one around, and make sure the class room or wherever we are is plain and simple so we have time to film. We need to keep eye on the time and we ran over time.
