In a group of three we produced our first practical filming task, called The Package, with the aim of creating suspense around the simple task of delivering a box from one place to another.
We decided to do this by creating the idea of two teams, displayed with the contrast of white coats and black coats. And by having one long shot of a member of the black coats change into a white coat ,just out of view of the leader of the white coats, to get into her building and deliver the unknown contents of the package.
We faced some challenges when making this film. Such as the time constraints of a week to get all the footage, and having to film during lesson and break times, so often only have 45 minutes or less to do as much as possible. Not having a clear run of time also presented the difficulties of people wearing different outfits on different days, which we tried to combat by using long coats that covered most of the clothing.
In the next project I would like to use more of the sound equipment, such as boom mikes as I've never used them before, and would like a chance to properly understand them.
I would also like to draw out a proper story board for the next project as the one made for this was more of very rough sketches and a list of what we wanted to happen in each shot.
