Preliminary Task
#SAVEJAMES
!Please watch our preliminary task!
Our preliminary task is a short film about substance abuse. It features a middle-aged man going to buy illegal substances down an isle in a public library. We chose this storyline as our camera angles fitted well with it, and this helped us to execute our movie with full effect. The camera angles we chose to use were mostly over-the-shoulder shots as this helped us portray the "demon" on everyone's shoulders. Our movie also featured multiple panning shots. Panning shots are always effective in stories like this as it takes the audience "on the journey" with them.
We feel that the music we used fitted well with the story line as it starts out rather depressing, but then turns slightly more upbeat. This music was an easy choice for us as its inspired from well known films such as Trainspotting and 8 Mile. Whenever a big deal is about to go down, there is usually silence with just music playing over the top. The lack of dialogue helps the audience to focus on the subject, and think about the character more. 3 people came to us after watching and asked us questions like "Who is the person behind the book?" and "Why did it happen in such a crowded place?". These are the questions we wanted our audience to ask.
