Preliminary Task Group 18/9/15

Today we got into groups for our preliminary task. Our group consists of three people. 

Sophie will be the main actress. Laura is the other actress that will be completing the dialog with Sophie. I will be doing some of the camera work as well as Laura. We will split responsibilities when it comes to editing and will most likely all be there when out video is being edited so we all get a say in how it is edited.

The preliminary task will be focused and based on continuity. We will be aiming to produce a short piece of film where two actors exchange some dialog and we will try to get it to run as smoothly as possible.

Hello, I'm Courtney and this is my blog.

I don't really have any previous experience which involve media, but I hope to gain a lot of experience this year. I have quite a bit of interest in music videos and action films. I think that it is the stunts in the action films that interest me the most, it makes me wonder how they can make it look so realistic and how they can get it to run so smoothly. I also have quite a bit of an interest in film editing. Like how they can film different scenes month apart but get them to fit so well.

My favourite genre of film is either comedy or animated. I don't have a favourite film  because there are too many to choose from.

This year I'm looking forward to being able to shoot my own short film, I'll enjoy having a lot of freedom with this task. I'm a little nervous to edit them though, I think it'll be complicated at first but after a while I'm sure I'll get the hand of it.

Our first task was to take a couple of shots around the school ground and but them in a sequence and to try and come up with a little scenario for them.
