We decided to restart our preliminary task from the beginning and use this as a learning curve. Starting the process again we began with storyboarding. The sequence we chose was simple so that we could manage to do it all in time for the deadline, but still included all the essential skills- match on action, shot reverse shot. 
Scripting and the shot list was easier to complete this time as we had previously filled one in and so knew what we were doing. This meant that we could get it done in half of the time. That afternoon we went out and got all the footage that we needed plus more so that we knew we would definitely have enough to make the film work and include the essential ingredients. We decided to film in the sixth form block as the table set up and room structure was perfect for what we were trying to create.
We then went back to the media suite to encode our clips using MPEG Streamclip so that we could then get on with putting the clips together and edit it. We were able to slot the clips together using Final cut pro and cut in parts of clips to create the shot, reverse shot. To create the match on action we just had to make sure that when we cut to another clip that everything in the frame was the same as in the last shot.
After we had finished putting the preliminary task together we created some rolling credits saying which of us did what parts in the film making process. We worked out how to do this using trial and error, which helped us to remember how to do it in future.
Below is our final preliminary task:
I enjoyed completing this preliminary task as it allowed me to work things out on my own, which will help me to remember them and not make the same mistakes in the final piece. It also helped me work on time management and see how much time i would need to input. I am pleased with the preliminary task as it includes the key skills that we needed.
