Preliminary Task Overview
Preliminary Task
For our preliminary task for our AS coursework, we had to film someone open a door, cross a room, sit down and then have a short conversation with another person. The sequence had to show our mindfulness of the 180-degree rule, shot reverse shots and match on action editing. Of course, we wanted to ensure that our preliminary conformed to the criteria, however we wanted to challenge ourselves to some extent in the hope that we would learn more about basic film-making from its production process (and this would improve our knowledge for use in our main film opening task).
We decided that we wanted a plot to our preliminary to add a greater sense of purpose to the task and to challenge ourselves further. We chose a school environment as a setting, since this environment was familiar to us both and it was more convenient in regards to time. The Western genre appealed to us, and initially we planned to recreate a classic Western 'stand-off' with a 'school twist'.

Why do you sound like the chipmunks? I really liked this. Most importantly, you nailed the three aspects. There was one POV which I think needed setting up a little better with a wideshot (as the girl drags the chair) but I'm being picky. Well done!
