Preliminary Task

As part of our As media, we were given the job of producing a preliminary task, which was simply a character(s) walking through a door exchanging some dialouge and walking out again. I was in a group consisting of Caitlin, Alice and myself. I did the filming whilst Caitlin and Alice did the acting! We decided simplicity was key, and went for something which reminded us of our childhood- A thumb War!
Location - In our class room. (As we only had that lesson to produce the film in, we had to do it within school premisis, and we were lucky enough to keep the classroom and not walk far, therefore we could get importing and editing quicker!)
Script:
(Alice walks through door to room where Caitlin is sitting behind a table)
Alice- I'm Alice (shakes hand)
Caitlin- NIce to meet you Alice are you ready to begin?
(they both roll up theor sleeves)
Both: One, Two, Three, Four, I declare a thumb war, One,Two, Three, Go (doing thumb war action)
(alice is defeated)
Caitlin: One, Two, Three, Four, I won the thumb War
(Alice slams hand on desk and stands up)
Alice: Next Time
(Alice Walks away)
Caitlin: Defeated.

We, Although keeping it simple, still decided to use a couple of different shot angles and one cut in shot of the thumb war taking place. The shots show alice walking through the door, and walking through the other side, the following shows them shaking hands, from behind caitlin, then the view reverses so you can see the back of alice and finally the cut in shot leading back to the over the shoulder shot again.

Our Idea was quick and simple and didn't take long at all to shoot or edit, i enjoyed working with alice and caitling and felt we worked well as a team!
