I worked with Beth, Drea and Sam and we managed the task between
us in the following way: Beth produced
the script, Drea drew the pictures on the storyboard and made the production
diary, I was in charge of thinking of all the props we needed and Sam found all
the music for our film. We all worked on the storyboard together and came up
with all the frames, angles and movement. We planned our sequence by thinking
of the stereotypical things you would find in an action, for example a good guy
bad guy combo, capes and violence. We then developed on these ideas and came up
with the idea of a troubled girl at school who seeks the help of a hero. We
took into account Dyer's theory, as he believes stereotypes come down to power,
those who have power stereotype those who don't, so in this instance Drea was
stereotyped as the innocent, vulnerable girl who needed help. For our task we
used cameras and tripods to film and for the editing, we used adobe premiere
and audacity to record some voice-overs. When planning, shooting and editing we
had to take into account the limited space we had, as we could only use the
school. We then planned to film in three spaces: down the lockers, on the
playground and on the field. We edited all together in the classroom and made
sure everyone in the group was happy before we exported it. I think our
sequence was very successful as we all worked together and pulled our weight.
The filming and editing went really well. If we were doing it again the things that i would change are: that some of the camera shots are a little bit shaky so we could use something that can move to film the tracking shots and in one of the shots you can see the tripod so we should have checked that the area that we filmed was clear of all our stuff before filming but apart from that i would change anything or do anything differently.
