Preliminary Task

Preliminary Task

For our preliminary task we were given some props such as a Freddie Krueger glove, a stapler and a plastic axe. It was a challenge having to use these props in this task, especially the glove, as we didn't have many ideas involving these three items. Eventually, we came up with an idea which meant we could involve these props however, the parts with the glove may cause confusion as we didn't explain it very well. 

The filming side of things went pretty smoothly, as we were able to film it very quickly with no troubles. However, we did have to film in two different lessons, meaning our main character changed clothes half way through.

We feel that editing went fairly well and the whole extract ran smoothly. Moreover certain parts worked very well for instance the changes of shots during the conversation worked well with the overlapping dialogue. The sound at the beginning of the extract (the teachers lecture) was difficult to implement in our work as it would have been difficult to have made the lecture ourselves and it would of taken time. At times the lecture didn't work well with the shots, for instance when others are speaking yet the people in the shot are not, which doesn't correspond with the high angle shot showing only 3 people in the class. The fading of the lecture to show the start of the dream was also difficult to get a correct fade out.
