One of our tasks at this stage was to film a prelim. For this we had to get into groups and produce a short film which would be approximately 20 seconds. It had to include a character opening a door, crossing a room and then exchanging a short amount of dialogue with another student. We had to demonstrate match on action, shot reverse shot and make sure we stuck to the 180 degree rule. As a group, we decided to have our characters script involve conflict which ended up being difficult to film as we found it hard to not laugh at the expressions we were producing while acting. After allocating roles and deciding on who will say what, we then took to a storyboard where we broke down the script into frames and added what angle we would be filming from. To film it, we decided to not go in numerical order of each frame, instead we jumped from scene 3 to 5,6 and 9. The idea behind this was to be able to film many scenes from the same angle all at once to keep fluidity. After filming it all we then then downloaded it onto the Mac and started editing. This process was fairly easy as our film was so short but it was fun to play around with the editing tools and to get an idea of what we'll be doing in the future. One thing that we did find difficult, was cropping each scene so it flowed seamlessly to the next as it would only sometimes be having to cut out 1 second.
