Our Prelim Task (IT WAS WIKKID)

Ahoy there. The name's Aidan (parenthesis) Barker-Dean III


For our first media premilinary task we had to film a character walking into a room and then engaging in a conversation with the second character, always obeying the hideous confines of the 180-degree-rule.  We had to film a shot of the first character entering the room via a door or some other portal. We then had to film character numero uno (played be me in full on leather jacket- looking hot ) entering the room and flying into a raging discussion/debate with character numero dos (played inexpertly by Chris "where's my beverage" Smith).  Owain "make mine a decaf" Anderson, took most of the shots of my adorable mug, whilst I took most of the shots of Chris "bulldog chewing a wasp" Smith, which were predominatley closeups and extreme closeups (and, as such, terrifying.)  I chose to use mainly close ups and extreme close ups on Chris's character to represent him as "weird" and disorent the audience by never allowing them to see him properly whilst he spoke.  The shots of Chris's "clive" character that weren't close up, where at bizzare angles so as to continue the whole "weird" vibe.

Editing.
Enjoyment?
MY MAGAZINE

Our target audience was Teenagers, so we used a bright, but strict colour code.  The reason it needed to be a strictly 3-colour (blue, green, white) is because this is a generic convention of magazines (not using more than three colurs on the cover) and helps to make it easier on the eye
