Preliminary Task

After being told what to do for our preliminary task, we started planning straight away. As we were given the theme of happiness we wanted to focus on food. Yesterday we started discussing what we plan on filming next Tuesday during our double lesson and we also had a list of camera shots that we should include in our short film. For example, we needed to include extreme close up, close up, medium close up, medium shot, mid-long shot, long shot, establishing shot, tilt, and high angle. Whilst we were working on the storyboards would try to include and tick off every shot so that we would have a variety of shots in our short film. Overall, we came up with 15 shots and we hope that this fits the 45 second- 60 second requirement. Moreover, we have two actors and a dialogue scene. We have also included points where we use shallow focus and pull focus.

Because we are filming next Tuesday we also needed to think about what to bring with us. We will need to bring a high quality recording camera, a telephoto lens for the shallow and pull focus, a microphone, a monopod and a tripod. For costume, we plan on sticking with whatever our main characters (Harry and Eddy) are wearing and for props we will need enough money to buy the food on the day and a strong fan for one of the shots.
