Preliminary Ideas

We all agreed on wanting to keep the preliminary task simple due to the short amount of time allocated to plan, film and edit the clip. However we also took this opportunity to experiment with and experience as many different aspects of filming and post-production we could with the time and resources available, in order to gain a better understanding of what could be achievable for our final texts.

    

The brief includes an exchange between two characters. In accordance to this we devised many scenarios where two characters would be able to converse a couple of lines of dialogue:

• Teacher and student
• Boss and employee
• Friends
• Enemies
• Family
• Shopkeeper and customer

After watching some examples of preliminary tasks completed by previous students we found that either comical or abstract ideas worked best as they felt more professional. We decided that we would create a mysterious clip, in order to create a story and allow the conversation to bear more meaning.

    

In terms of roles we decided that Paige and Sheree would be doing the majority of the acting due to their interest and previous experience in acting and drama. I will therefore have a bigger role in the filming process.
