Intoduction

Hello, my name is Ahmed and I am starting the A2 Media course.  To start the year, we were given a task to create a short film in a group of four. In my group it was myself, Rob, Tom and Liam. Our film genre is crime/action and the film was 31 seconds long. The dialogue we were given to say was 'Do it, 'Do it', 'I can't' and 'Just do it. I can't wait for you to do it'.

Throughout out filming, what I most enjoyed doing was performing the actions of the characters, especially when I came to save the the person from getting shot. What I didn't enjoy doing was that some of the characters didn't focus much on acting but we are looking to improve our film skills so this was not too much of a problem.  However, in my point of view, it didnt look realistic. The editing techqunies we were asked to use was match on action, shot reverse shot and cross cut. The benifit of using editing techniques is to make the film mor eintresting and helps the director to add the films meaning. What we planned to use was the gun to shoot the character and the location wer used was the gravyard, this is because it was supporting the genre of our film 'crime'. The scene that was appearing on the cross cut was located in the college. We didnt concentrated on lighting effect much because the film was shot at day time. The costume we wore was jeans and shirts because we wanted to wear something that represented young adults.
