STALKER BOY
Pre-Production and Production
Due to the limited preparation time we received, our group were unable to draw a storyboard in order to plan our preliminary task. We had the basic outline however of the plot therefore it was not a huge difficulty to film the movements of the characters. Initially, we had envisioned our piece to be a thriller opening however throughout filming we found ourselves veering towards comical themes such as James' dialogue 'Damnnn' when Keiley walks past. It can be seen in our bloopers how we had planned for James to bang his hand on the frosted window, creating an eerie thriller-like atmosphere but, despite this, when it came to the editing process, it was easier to collate our scenes as if it were a comedy.
As part of our Preliminary Task brief, we were obliged to film a person walking through a door in order to include the technique of Match on Action. It is supposed to look as though the events are happening in real time as an example of continuity editing although we used two shots and edited them together.
Here is an example of where we used the technique of shot reverse shot in order to capture the emotions of both parties in the conversation as they speak.
These shots were filmed separately and merged together during the editing process.
The 180 degree rule is where the camera stays on one side of a conversation so it wouldn't interrupt the flow of the conversation and also wouldn't confuse the audience as the characters don't change sides. We were careful throughout filming that we did not break this rule.
Post-Production
A spontaneous decision, we used Scouting For Girls''She's so Lovely' as a backing track for our preliminary because, not only does it's upbeat happy tune help establish the genre of our piece but also the lyrics mirror the adoration James' character had for Keiley's.
