Film AS Preliminary Task

The task we had to complete was to create a short film out of a storyboard written by another group. We had to get a long shot of someone walking down the corridor, then a close up of their feet walking and their face. Then we had to get shots of them opening the door, walking into the room and sitting down. Two people in the group acted in the scenes whilst the others helped with filming. We also did over the shoulder shots and shot reserve shots. I helped with the filming and editing, cutting clips etc.

The skills needed are to create a good clear storyboard with a plan of what shots would be used in each scene as this is the guide for our filming. You also needed camera skills so that you include all the different shots creating good continuity. We each shot different scenes individually. Once we finished filming we had to transfer the filming to the mac and edit the shots. We also added a 'scream' as an effect. During editing we had to redo some shots and add them back in again because we did them wrong the first time.
