The preliminary task. - Video.

Evaluation:
In my preliminary task I went and chose to film my scenes in the corridor of a college building before then choosing too shoot it outside on the picnic bench. I used the actor Josh and actress Lauren to act out an emotional scene to the dialogue I created about, a man being shocked and having to tell his friend he saw a shooting. This then lead to the fact that he had too leave against his friends opinions.

I found that my preliminary task has both positive and negative factors. The positive factor of this video is that the conversation stayed fluent through out even when the over the shoulder shot reverse shot happened. This was a positive factor because it meant there was no interruptions for the audience to distract them from listening to the conversation but it also gives the audience a feeling like they're sitting there and watching it. The negative factors is that some scenes jump one to another. Examples of this is the second and third shot before the door, the scenes of Josh going to sit down on the bench and the scenes where Josh gets up and walks away. Another negative factor that stands out is the noise in the background e.g. the wind and another person walking in heels. These are negative factors because it causes distractions to the audience as they try and focus on the noise that's being made but also the noise covers up the conversation when the subjects talk.

An improvement I would make to this, would be to re-shoot the scenes again, this time I will keep someone on a watch out to stop people interrupting the video with noises but also appearing suddenly, my next improvement would then to be shoot this is another corridor and keep it all inside so the wind does not cover the conversation up either.
