Preliminary Task





Planning 


For our planning we had to come up with the whole concept of the production. Therefore we had to come up with a storyline and suitable place to film it. We thought of a meeting between a drug dealer and a person who owes money to the drug dealer. This idea is simple and very effective. We chose to film in two different places, for to introduce the dealer and one to film the interview because the room was small and the door and corridor was useful for the part before the meeting. Also we had to get some props together these consisted of a shirt and clock amongst other things.

Filming: 

The filming was very easy because we knew exactly what we needed and wanted to do. First we filmed the drug dealer to establish him and give him power. This was simple and only took a few shots to get it right. Next we changed room to use the corridor and the door that was also simple. After that we did some verbal filming, this was harder than the other shots because it was important that we got it right. We didn’t use very many shots, we used close up, extreme close up, 2 shot, medium shot, over the shoulder shot two shot, cut in shot and a dolly zoom.

Editing: 

This was very easy because we didn’t have many shots that we didn’t need or had to decide between using. The editing took quite a lot of time, the programme is very hard to get used to using. We decided on DSD productions and make a title sequence, this idea came mainly from the music. We had to get rid of a few things within the filming that we didn't need for example people looking at the camera when they are film. We finished the introduction to the film with credits. This was a big part of the editing as we had to find a picture and font to go with each person. Also we had to find a soundtrack or numerous soundtracks that fit the clip. We went for just having one non diegectic all the way through because there is only one line of diegectic sound which is dialogue. When this sound occurs we faded out the non diegectic sound to hear the diegectic sound
