Our Premlinary Task

This is our preliminary task, Harry and I are acting in the opening sequence of the film, whilst Charlie is filming. The opening sequence to a film is set near the bike shed at school. Our original plan was to do it at an abandoned hotel called Seaton Heights on the outskirts of Seaton in Devon. However this didn't go to plan, because as we started filming it was getting dark, so the short film starts with light condition, then progressively it gets darker and darker, which wouldn't make sense to the audience. As well we used poor lighting when filming in the dark. We decided that filming at school would be better, more accessible, and would have better lighting. 

In the opening sequence, Harry is playing a hostage, tied up with a bag over his head. Harry was involved in online crime and I was a hitman who had to find out what he had done, apart from the fact that he was saying very little.
In our preliminary task we used match on action, used when we were opening the door. We used the 180 degree rule as well as  an over the shoulder shot (this is the scene when I take the bag off of Harry's head) The first shot of me walking up the path to the bike shed is a tracking shot. When I walk through the gate its a mid shot of me through the checkered gate. Immediately after this shot Charlie on the camera does a whip pan which uses 2 different shots and combines them together.
