Preliminary task: What we did.

For the preliminary task we had to do a short clip that has to consist of little dialogue and a range of camera shots, for example; over the shoulder shot, low angle shot, high angle shot etc.

In my group we decided to have two people having a conversation at a table. 

Before we could start filming we had allot of dilemmas, some of us were ill every-time we wanted to film.

so in result of this we had to our filming at the last minute on a weekend at someones house. 

Our preliminary task will play out like this;- 

• I will walk through the door.
• I will close the door.
• I will sit down at the table.
• George will look at me, close his book and fold his arms.
• We both then put our hands on the table in sync.
• I will then say 'So'.
• George will then say 'So'.
• We then pull 'awkward' faces while looking away from each-other.
• We then will have a close up of my face with my eyes squinting.
• And then we will have a close up of Georges face with his eyes blinking.
• Then again we will have a close up of my eyes squinting.
• And a close up of Georges eyes blinking. 
• We then will have George saying 'Im just gonna go' in a whispered tone while getting up from his chair.
• George will then leave the room.
• I will then have several shots of me hitting my head hard against the table.
• We will then have a transition/ fade to black and then show me with my head still on the table.
• George will then come back in, say 'i forgot my book' take his book, and then leave. 

While filming we had made mistakes, so we had to film some things over because we either laughed, or did the wrong thing.      

A few times we shot the same things over but in different angles and diffrent camera shots because we wanted to shoot from every possible angle to see what clip was more effective.

Overall it took my group around 1 and a half hours to film our preliminary task, (excluding editing which would've been about 20 minutes)
