Preliminary Task - Idea

 Filming Today we filmed for the preliminary task, in this task we were told to focus on and demonstrate Match on Action and the 180 Degree Rule. This was a relatively straightforward task however, we wanted to challenge ourselves and do something a little bit different. We came up with the idea of having different scenarios where we could have a bit of fun and make it entertaining to watch. We thought it would make a change to the norm where someone walks through a door and has a ten second conversation with someone.
We first thought of a scenario where two people would have an awkward conversation, with us looking at developing convincing facial expressions in relation to someone who has actually been in that situation. We thought that this would help to develop our characters for the real thing. The second scenario involved a disruptive student and a librarian who was getting extremely agitated by his immature conduct.
The third and final scenario was based around speed dating, between a male (Tom) and a female (Me). It involved another awkward exchange in eye contact between two characters using the 180 degree rule. We will start to edit the raw footage when we get back after Christmas.
