THE PRELIMINARY EXERCISE:
For our preliminary exercise we decided to create a little video of a comedy genre
PLOT AND CASTING:
The plot of the video is based on a story where a boy, played by (Ollie MacNaughton), decided to become lazy at school and decide not to focus on his studies which as a result of this, got some poor academic results. The dad, played by me (Marcus Couling), decides that the only cause of action is to discipline his child and express his anger and fustration.
Although the genre of this film is supposed to be comedy, we thought that maybe creating unobvious humour to show that the dad is not supposed to be funny. The boy on the other hand is supposed to be sarcastic with his father and does not seem to take anything seriously.
When filming our preliminary film we used a tripod to ensure a stability of the camera. Whilst filming we made sure we were following filming guidelines, demonstrating an understanding of the new and different terms like shot reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. When we had finished filming we carefully picked out the clips that we wanted to use and edited them accordingly. We used a few sound effects and some music at the end. We got some promising results and as a group we were happy with what we produced.

REVIEWS: I received a comment from a viewer that I think would be relevant to put on my blog:

WHAT I LEARNT:
My personal experience when making the film was to make an authentic and effective movie. I needed to use a tripod which allowed us to carefully yet effectively use various camera angles without any shake. The second thing that I learned about making the film was the meaning behind each camera shot. For instance, how a low angle shot can help to portray sorrow and sadness and can entice the viewer and dictate to the audience the meanings behind the angles without words, but instead depicting it through emotions visually.
