Preliminary task evaulation
AS preliminary task from Jemma Goulds on Vimeo.
Our premilanary task requjired these this to be done
- A character opening a door
- A character crossing a room
- A character sitting down in a chair, opposite another character
- Dialogue between characters
- Match on action
- The use of a shot/reverse shot
- Understanding of 180 degree rule
Upon find out this information we started our research going on youtube and finding other preliminary tasks once this was done it became extremly clear what we had to do. our group started constructing a storyboard so we could create a preliminary task that meant our criteria this including deciding on the location and roles. we stumble across many little problems which seemed enormous at the time but using each other it made it much easier to overcome. for example what is a match cut and what is a match on action.
Once all of our research was done it was on to the actual filming because of our planning this became extremly easy to complete in a small amount of time and were able to effective use our school hours. We worked well as a team which meant that we were able to maintain siplicity and reach our goals.
To make our preliminary task better I think although planned very well and working very quickly I think we could have spent more time on some aspects so we could have achieve a better overall end product. Also i think that we could have asked more about the equipment because there are some terrible errors that make our camera work seem very poor at times.

smart targets
M: measurable
A: achievable
R: realistic
T: time
Our team didn't find it hard to set targets witht he use our S.M.A.R.T this made is much easier as we could meet up weekly and set targets and outcome problems using all of our abilities. An example our one of our targets: "using keylighting make all characters into silohuettes by the 12th of febuaury". this target is specific as it tell you what is require to be done measurable visually achievable using our editing abilities realistic based on the date it was set and time as it has a deadline.

Treatment
our first idea was meant to be a horror movie. Our title sequence start in a detention were the student were all boredom and in silence, then our male protaganist write a note and decides to throw it behind himself witht the intention of it being passed to our female protaganist. the teacher is called aways and then has to leave the classroom and as you would expect the students start to become active and lively but our two protaganist decide to leave room into the bathroom were they become much more intimate. By the end of this the female protaganist ends up dead.
We decided to change idea because is lacked mystery, intensity and supsense. Another major problem was acting although with to alevel drama students acting still was a problem.
our new i dea is a action thirller title sequence. For our new title sequence we used silouhettes which meant without trying our title sequence gave off a sense of mystery and questions. our new ideas is focused on a man who seduces women and then eventually kills them, he sucessful had killed over five women but his sixth isn't as easy to kill as she catches on and then the movie become a question of who can kill who first. We found this much easier then our intial idea as we were able to create and sense of action through our music our establishing shot and other elements of the movie.
