For our prelim I had gone in a group and make a short film, it had to involve a man walking across a room, down and have some dialogue. I started looking at some clips of films to get some ideas. But nothing really came so I thought just I would do someone walking in to a room, sitting down talking and playing poker.
The first problem we had was that there was no rooms that we could film in we searched everywhere and eventually got 1 but it took time. We could have got round this by booking a room out or even finding one before. The filming went well and most of the shots were taken in the first few also we had difficult poisons to put the camera like up high in a corner and I had to stand on a filing cabinet to film one of the shots. As well as limited time as well most of the shot were rushed and we should have spread the filming over a few days instead of one lesson. Also there was a shot where the camera pans round the table and we had nothing to go around the table smooth, but we found a wheeled chair and it worked except it was bumpy and uneven. Also made a noise when it went round and you can hear it on the camera and I couldn’t cut it out because there was dialogue. The film took longer to film then expected because some of the séances needed to be changed slightly and re film, also we didn’t have all the right props, so I made cards out of line paper and pretended with them. The filming was good we got everything done and had loads of time to edit it which wasn’t too difficult and didn’t take much time.

Preliminary Film Story board
For my preliminary Ollie and Me decided to do a since of people playing poker round a table. We started off us a few general simple ideas. Then we adapted on the shots and ideas doing more complicated shots and actions in the film.

Eastenders Remake
The task I was set was to remake a start of an East Enders episode. We had to do everything the same and not change anything but try to get it as close to east enders as possible. The scene is typical of TV soap because there is always some drama and equilibrium. The scene is nearly a copy of the original like it was mint too, and tried to get all the shots and séances the same. We used a mid shot of a women standing next to a phone looking lose and confused. This is used so we can see that she is confused. But instead of women we used a man because there weren’t any girls in our group. Then we used a mid shot when the person playing pill walks in it zooms out into a mid shot. Then a person walks into a room and then the camera pans across the room. Then after that there is a person waiting for the toilet and getting angry and then the door opens and there is a shot reverse shot to see both of the girls and see the anger for each other.
The film was very accurate except from a small change in dialogue and so of the scenery because we where in a school, but apart from that it was almost the same and some of the shots where abet different.
The successes of the program were that the filming was done easterly and we found a room that wasn’t being used and had about 45 minutes to film. But some of shots took a while to film because some of the group weren’t concentrating and messing about and lack of the Wright scenery in the room. The original was meant to look like a home but we where in a class room. I have learnt that the miser en scene of this episode is that it’s a normal family home but some people have stopped the night and there is an awkward tension in the home and when a character opens the cretins in the morning its like a fresh star. But there is still tension between some people with in the house. The lighting in our project wasn’t good, there was no spot lights just standard room lights and didn’t have the equipment to get good lighting so we just used room lights and light from out side. The importance of continuity is very important because then the film looks more professional and flows better. I need to work on my film techniques to get film done on time and with out any mistake and make sure that all the film is done so we haven’t missed anything and need to go back and re film it.
