Personal Commentary : Preliminary Task


<--- Story bored: Before i started filming, one pre-production task I carried out was creating a script. this helped me to plan what i was going to film, where I was going to place the camera and where the actors were going to be positioned in the scene. The script included the type of shot that was going to be shot in each scene e.g. establishing shot, close up shpt.., a small explanation what what was occurring in each scene.




<--- Shooting Script: This is another pre-production task I done before filming. It includes the same information as the story bored with out the images. It also includes the dialogue that was going to take place in the specific shots which the script does not include.





<--- Script: This is the script that the actors followed. Having a script is beneficial because it adds structure and organisation to the filming rather than free-styling what is being said.










Using a flip camera to film required me to improvise when attempting to shot the shots that I wanted to such as the establishing shot.  If I was to re-do my preliminary task, there are some things I would do differently such as use a tripod so that the camera could be steady so the final out come of the filming did not turn out wobbly. I enjoyed the task because it was the first time that i had created a short film and it gave me an insight of what creating a film would require.
