Eryk Wiszenko 6196 Preliminary Task Evaluation

Pre Production:As we planned out our short preliminary film, we already had a great idea of basing it on the mafia theme and that it would be between a mafioso and his hitman. We also had the idea that we were going to film it in the chapel, because of the Mafias religion and comradery. We had some ideas of the mafioso smoking a cuban cigar and drinking a glass of gin, but that was just not possible in a school chapel.

Production. We began filing our preliminary task. We came over many obstacles in this part of production such as lighting, camera angles, shots and movement and also how to implement the three aspects that we were given to film. The idea at the beginning was to have a low key lit room, but as we then realised the camera' were not able to expose the shot well, resulting in a very poor shot. However, we did have some ease in filming the scene, as some things came very naturally. We had implemented the 180 degree rule very well into the scene as well as the shot reverse shot of the mafioso speaking to his hitman, as you can see below.

Post Production: This part of film production I enjoyed the most as I enjoy making small parts of, essentially nothing, turn into something that I can watch and can say I did a good ob at, for the short amount of time we had. There was a scene where it was very underexposed, so we had to slightly increase the exposure so that it would be more visible to the audience, which we did an average job at, but it could have always been improved,as you can see in the shot below.
