Main Task

For our Main Task, we have to create and film the beginning of a thriller film. Like the preliminary, i will be working with Chris Birch and Mark White again.

We recently story boarded our ideas, and compared to the preliminary, there are more of them, representing more scenes and more action in the piece. There is also a better range of shots used this time. We have produced a shot list as well as a storyboard:




















We've used several close ups to establish emotions of the protaganist, from paranoid to surprised. Long shots and establishing shots are used to show locations, as well as show the protaganist is not alone in the street scenes. Several tracking shots are used as point of view shots to show the protaganist is being watched and followed.

We also spent a lesson looking for suitable locations to shoot our piece. We took several photographs of potential places we could film our final piece. One ideal factor of them is they are all on the school premises. They are also all public places, making the piece seem realistic and add to the tension as these places where the events occur in our piece are used frequently by the public.

We now have our main task video filmed and edited.
