"The Deal" is the title of my Preliminary task, the short video follows a storyline of two women exchanging money for an illegal item, hence the name "The Deal" to give away to the audience that something dodgy is taking place.
The film itself is quite short, but it is meant to focus in on 'the deal' itself; the sound was at fault here, as the microphone was off from technical difficulties, however subtitles have been included to show to the audience what is being said and the sounds made during the filming that may play a vital part in the film.
Also, the film requires that we use the vital and needed camera shots to show that we have completed the film to an appropriate standard and we as the filmers are aware of the needed camera shots to suggest a certain theme, for example. The used camera shots include: Eyeline Match- used when the character in the green dress (Ruby) looks at the magazine and the camera before hand is shown to focus in on Ruby's eyes. The over the shoulder shot/ reverse shot is used efficiently to make sure that we did not break the 180 degree rule where you film from the other side of the room, breaking the real image of the shot and confusing the audience as to why the two characters are switched. Match On action is used when the magazine is shown sliding across to the other person, Sophie.
Overall, I believe the only fault that I can heavily criticise is that of the sound, at the time of the filming the sound was believed to be efficient- that of the microphone, however when we uploaded the footage, it seemed the sound footage was lost. The film was quite a success overall, the shots where shot nicely and effectively.
