Shooting our Preliminary task


We begun thinking about our prelim task when our media teacher Adam gave us our storyboard. We had to then think about a theme that would work well around that storyboard. Costume was a big part of the task because we had to make sure that our audience would be able to tell what time our piece was set in. Alexandra and I dressed up as Chavs or thugs, with tracksuit bottoms, caps and hoodies. This signified that our storyboard was set in modern day and it gave the audience an understanding of the genre and the piece. 

Our storyboard:


We had to include all of the shots and the dialogue shown in the storyboards. We did five different shots in three different positions and at the end we did a panning shot. We started off with a 'Wide Shot'. This is effective because it sets the scene for the audience, it also means that we have shot some of the scenes and it also acts as a back up shot just incase we weren't happy with one of the other shots we can also choose one from the 'wide shot'. Then we did two 'Over the shoulder' shots, one on the left and one on the right. We zoomed in Alexandra's face and then we zoomed in on my face. This brings the audience closer into the characters conversation and also because it purely adds more variation to our sequence. If we shot it all in wide shot it would be a boring sequence. Then we did an extreme close up on the passing of the spray paint from one character to another. This adds detail to our prelim. Then at the very end we did an extra ‘Panning shot’ as an experiment because we had some time left. This created good effect and variety in our prelim that engaged the audience and kept them interested.
