For the OCR G321 Preliminary Task, my group consisted of three people and myself. Our task required us to create an audio visual representation, which involved us coming up with an idea, filming it, and then going on to edited it; in order to gain our first fifteen marks towards our coursework. We were required to complete the following task criteria: a match-on-action of a character walking through a door, then going on to walk into a room, and then a further shot-reverse-shot of two characters exchanging dialogue at a table.
As a group, I believed we worked particularly well in all aspects of the task. We began by selecting a genre, in which we all had different opinions; however we managed to merge them together so that everyone was happy. After that, we all opted for tasks based on our specialities, which made piecing together the action and filming and editing much faster - making it a well-structured practice.
To improve our preliminary task, we could add non-diegetic sound to the conversation between the two characters; which would build up the tension to the point where the folder is thrown off of the table. Low-key lighting could also be used in the setting of the room, to create shadows and different effects. As low-key images are darker, they present more drama and tension, which contributes to the suspense of the narrative.
If I had the chance to change anything about the preliminary task video that we made, I would ensure that the voices were a lot clearer than originally, as I believed the little exchange of dialogue that we included, somewhat echoed.
