Prelim Video

This is my video for my video preliminary. It is 36 seconds and consists of four characters. As an audience we follow Jack, who has been told to go see his teacher, and he doesn't know why. He then walks past a boy who had also been and is very unhappy. Jack is nervous as he walks through the door. Inside are his teachers, Mr Ibbetson (who he refers to as Sir) and his assistant Mr Sizer. They discuss Jack's grades in English. The film ends on a cliffhanger, with the final shot of Jack in a extreme close up of his face asking "my grades?". This was to show his emotion to the audience at the end, and to suggest to the audience what will happen next to Jack.  

I chose to do this film as it was a very simple story, which could be very easily shown onto film. I used a range of shots including an extreme close up of the door handle when Jack walks through the door and a two shot with the two teachers. As it was my prelim, I think that I did a good job considering it was the first time I had ever filmed a film before.
