We used different parts of the school for the setting. We were in groups of four and when we first started filming, no one wanted to act so we all took it in turns to act, direct and film. The first couple of shots came out a bit wrong and this is when we realised that this preliminary task would be good for us to get some practise before shooting our own real video. As we carried on shooting we found how the different angles made the film looking more interesting and the different lighting was very effective on the film. These were all things we have to consider before filming our own video. We also took quite a lot of shots so that when it came to editing we had a lot to play around with and look at. When it came to editing the film, as there was four of us it was quite nice to discuss how we wanted our video to look. We decided to keep the shots short and quick to make it look interesting. The close ups also looked good so we also kept a lot of those shots. I felt as though the preliminary task really helped me with the creative side of filming as I got many ideas from the angles and lighting. It also made me think about where I was going to shoot my own video and mis en scene is very important to reflect the genre of the music. The editing also helped me get used to the programme I am going to use when editing my final, iMovie. It is quite complicated therefore, it was very useful just to play around with.

Preliminary Task
At the very start of our A2 year, our teacher gave us a preliminary task to do so we could get used to filming and directing. We were given two different sheets of instructions, one had the script on which we could interpret any way we wanted. The other sheet had the different camera angles and timings of how long the shots should be. For example, long shot, medium shot, close ups and over the shoulder.
