Preliminary Task

To get a feel for a camera and get used to filming we were asked to write up a storyboard of a short, approximately 30second long, Continuity Piece on whatever we wanted so long as we concentrated on sticking to the 180degree rule and the piece contained a match on action and to film it. The filming being the trickier part of this task, as we were not allowed to edit the footage in any way but instead had to use a precise stop/start recording method between all shots used and had to get the timing just right in order for the piece to flow well, which proved to be difficult, but also taught a valuable lesson of not wasting screen time and making each shot more efficient. I chose to not have dialogue in my script, partly because it was easier, partly because I dislike the birmingham accent on film but mostly because it just seemed really unnecessary.
