Preliminary task





We were given the following task of which we had to construct it and film it in a group without guidance from the teacher. This was so that we could learn through the mistakes we made and build up our skills throughout the process.                        
Initially, I didn't have any ideas on how to create this scenario or where to start and so as a group we broke it down into parts. By doing this i imagined that we could film it in the action, or thriller genre.

Pre-production- work done on a product, especially a film or broadcast programme, before full-scale production begins.

We decided to start creating this by following the film making process that we had created previously. We decided to come up with some ideas on the scenario we were given as to what genre,character types we wanted etc. from this we decided that we were going to make our film based on action (spy) genre. We started to storyboard our initial ideas by including shot types and character positions. We then scripted the scenario, this was mainly between the Head agent and one of the agents, as we chose to have one 'prim and proper' agent and another that was more casual and laidback.
Before we started filming we had to pic actors to play the parts of the characters. We decided to use ourselves in the film as this means that we don't have any worries about whether the other people can attend all of the filming sessions. However, as the head agent we decided to use Mrs Wilson as she fits the role of a mature, intelligent  person of which we needed for the 'top dog'.


We decided to film in the class room as it had a projectable screen which we could put Mrs Wilson's face on.
