Preliminary Task Evaluation Pt 2 - Tawanda

production process - The production process refers to the stages  required to complete a media product, from the idea to the final master copy. we used pre-production, production and post- production during our preliminary task.

Pre-production

Pre-production was the shortest stages out of the three tasks as we were only given 10 minute to carry this stage out as a team. we were only able to do basic pre-production as the time was scarce. we managed to work out who is filming, acting  also work out the basic plot of the short video. my team felt that i was the right man to carry out the cinematography. This was due to my experience using dslr and my creativity and steadiness when it come to framing and how i take advantage of different vantage point to make for a more interesting, moving image.The acting was allocated to Aidan as the main due to his naturalness in-front of the camera. Vianca and Holly were also allocated as supporting actors. This was due to their naturalness also. Vianca was  director to control what happens within the filming. Then after we thought of a quick story and then decided the locations to film. There weren't many choices to choose from as we were restricted to film inside the school site. So collectively we decided to film in the Sixth form block  

during this we also made a quick storyboard. a story board is a sequence of drawings, typically with some directions and dialogue, representing the shots planned for a film or television production. We used it help construct our shots.

Production
The production stage is where we gained our footage and actually started using the brief little plans we made within the pre-production stage such as camera shots and etc. This stage lasted 20 minutes and we managed to capture a lot of the same shots in different vantage point, i also managed to incorporate rule of thirds in quite a few of my shots

post-production
The post production process we split the team in two so we can all get a chance to edit. during this point we getting to grasps with basics such as shot-reverse-shot, match-on-action and 180-degree rule.
