Prelim Task 2 – Tell me a Story

This is my edited version of ‘The Glitter Card’. We had to record a short scene and edit it to 25-30 seconds with no dialogue. First, we planned out our scene with a story board using post-it-notes. We did this because it is easier to swap the clips around if we make a mistake. Our story was someone pranking another person with a card full of glitter.

The assessment criteria was:

1. Holding a shot steady
2. Framing a shot
3. (Shooting a) variety of shot distances

Strengths:

  • Close up of facial expressions
  • Keeping withing the 180 degree rule
  • Camera shots e.g Long shot, mid shot and close up

Weaknesses:

  • The song doesn’t suit the scene
  • No filters to make the lighting even
  • More angles of scenes to cut to
