Completed Preliminary Task

Our Preliminary task is a simple short video showing someone walking through a door, walking into a room, sitting down and having a conversation. This showed that we could demonstrated simlple filming rules.

When filming our Preliminary task, i found we had no problems and filmed everything needed to make our preliminary task what it needed to be. However, when it came to editing i did struggle as i had never used a Mac Book to edit before so it was very fiddly and took more time to edit than it did to film.

Overall, i am pleased with our preliminary task, although the editing is not perfect and there are a few jumpy moments in there i feel my group did a good job for a first attempt. It helped us begin to get used to the editing equipment and prepare us for what we are going to have to do for our final film opening production.

Ideas for the Plot

The beginning of the video should feature home videos of our actors when they were little kids. Then it will flick to the scene with them sleeping rough, and keep flicking flicking between the home videos and the teenagers at present. This will show them as happy innocent little children and then will show them as young teenagers running away from home.

Possible Sound Tracks

This seems to be a suitable sound track for the beginning of our film because it helps set the mood. The song starts slow and speeds us which compliments what is happening in the film as the teenagers are first shown sleeping rough and running away.
