1. G321 Preliminary Task Evaluation
Name: Jack Francis
In a group with: Adam Cook and Amy Balmer
Write about the preliminary task. What were you asked to do? How did you find
each stage of the process?
We were given the task of creating a short piece of film which included a short
conversation, in which we had to do work for pre-production (writing the script
and drawing up a story board), production (directing as well as acting), and post-
production (editing).
I found the task fairly straight forward as I’ve had experience filming during GCSE
media overall I think it was a success in comparison to other groups
Write the 3 techniques/rules you learnt about during the preliminary task: -180
degree rule
- Match on action
- Shot reverse shot
List three things that went well during the filming/editing process:
-we managed to get all the shots we needed
-None of the footage was corrupt
-The actors were reasonably good
List three things you think could have been improved in these stages:
- The camera quality wasn’t the best
- I think it would have been if I could have got more shots but we ran out of time
- The team had a slight bit of friction but overall it was a good experience
Has the preliminary task given you any ideas for you 2-minute film opening? If so,
what? If not – think, then say 
Perhaps an early morning panning shot, with a basey song like arctic monkey “do I
wanna know” following a character, who perhaps starts driving along the country
roads.
