Preliminary Task, Synopsis

Our Preliminary Task involves me, Ed, Jack and Emily. We decided to make a short story that used a lot of movement allowing us to use a larger variety of camera shots.

'Confused'

It begins with Emily walking through to the LRC and sitting down to work on a computer; although she doesn't know how to operate it, which leads into the story. She begins to hit the desk as she gets angry, Jack then comes over to try and help but he ends up getting punched in the face. Emily then walks out of the LRC angrily, the camera follows her as she begins to run round the college. We then tried to make it quite funny by her then sitting on a regular computer in the LRC after having (now evidently unnecessarily) ran a lap of the building. Then the camera shows Emily looking over to the other side of the room seeming very frustrated, the camera then pans over to where she was originally planning to work at the beginning of the story to show me easily working one of the computers she could not.

There were no major problems with the filming of it, although while filming, Emily found it difficult to be filmed without laughing, but with plenty of time to follow, we were able to record repeats for the shots to ensure it was OK. At the next session, I was absent but the group had a slight problem in that Emily was wearing different clothes to the previous session. But with a last lesson available for filming, there was chance to finish the task successfully.
