Preliminary task evaluation.

For our preliminary task we had to show a conversation between two characters whist demonstrating various camera skills. These included things such shot reverse shot, and showing someone going through a door. However we did not include shot reverse shot as the shots,match on action, aswell as demonstrating the use of the 180 degree rule. however our shot reverse shot did not fit in with the scene, and so we decided to film a short clip demonstrate that we was able to do thisHere is the link to this clip. Here is the link to our finished preliminary task. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZm03vjA6og&feature=plcp

Our perliminmary task film idea was about a young girl who had become addicted to drugs and was about her having a run in with a drug dealer in her school. We decided that our audience was for people of a similar age to us, of people aged between 15/16 years old. We decided this because we thought that this topic would not be very appropriate for younger veiwers. Our film genre is drama as we filmed a serious topic and was based on a serious topic issue, there was no comdey elements to our film as well as no action, the film was mainly about the drama of a teenage drug addict's life.

 In my group there was 3 of us working on the preliminary task, our roles where split up into different things. My role in the group was to be director. I feel that i could have performed better and made more of the decisions of the shots that where to be used. However i think that because of working with my friends i trusted that there decisions on shots where right and took a more laid back approach to being a director. If i was to be a director again for the main task i think that i should try and take more control within the group.

We were influenced by a number of diffferent tv show that we thought our target audience may also be intrested in, these where this is england as well as skins aswell as the film juno. These shows are also to do with teenage issues such as drug abuse so we was able to get ideas of the issues that are made present. We also felt that these kind of films have a quite a degree of realism which was something that we wanted to come out in our film.

Our group was eager to create a film that was intresting to watch and fun to film however at the same time was also meeting all the requirements of the prelminary task. I think that my group fulfilled the intensions for the task and i was pleased with the outcome. Overall i feel that the that the preliminary task went well as we were able to work well together and took on this task to the best of the ability, however for the main task i feel we will be able to learn from mistakes from this task and produce a even better film.
