The Preliminary Video

Before we started our 2-minute movie we needed o get some experience with the camera and blend into our groups. Therefore the teacher gave us a task for us to communicate and also test the equipment that we will be using. Luckily I know my group form Long dean School. Iv known them for 3-4 years so I didn’t feel strange between them. The first thing we did was to check the equipment, which was provided to us by the media department. They whore expensive products therefore we needed to be very careful. Before the task we were given as homework to do a story bored for the video all of us completed it but forgot to bring the story bored, thankfully our group member Jamiul had it so we used he’s story bored for that day.  While me and Jamuil was setting up the camera the girls which was Sana and ihram was going through the story bored of what they need to do. The actors that we have decided as a group were going to be Sana and jamiul. The script was simple but was wasn’t experienced so it was a little bit hard for us to position our camera and the actors but we got there eventually. Sana was the first actor and Jamul was the second actor. Sana walking to the door putting her had on the door lead and opening it while Jamiul is sitting in the table reading the book that Sana has given. Sana goes inside sits across Jamiul and Jamuil gives the book to Sana. Then she gets up and goes back out. I was the one who was filming and Iram was the one who was setting up the positions of the actors by using the story bored.

After we done the first video then we decided to make another one, with a different story. The actors was also diferent. this time it was me and Iram. This helped us more because this time we know what we was doing therefore it was more easier. as a group we was rushing in this video to complete it because the lesson was going to finished and the stairs would of been full of students.

Storyboard

This is my storyboard that i done after the video was captured. Like i said we used Jamiul's storyboard because none of the member of the group had there storyboard. the storyboard helps us a lot before the video was taken because we can image the scene and work it out in our minds before we do anything and this helps the group go get ready for the scene.

The Videos

This was the first video that we took as a group. The scene is very simple. The actors are Sana and Jamiul while me and Iram is the cameraman and the director. In the video Sana which is the first actor starts form outside the room. She walks towards the door puts her hand on the door handle and then opens it. At that time the camera changes position and shoots from inside of the room. The scene starts from the door handle and. Sana walks in and sits across Jamiul which is the second actor. they have a dialogue about a book Jamiul gives the book to Sana and Sana gets up and goes out the door.

We also done a second video and in this one the actors were me and Iram this tiem while Jamiul was the cameraman and Sana was the director. The scene was taken in the stairs. The first shoot was me while pushing the door. As soon as i open the door while on my way to the stairs Iram the second actors appears and we have a dialogue. After the dialogue is finished we carry on our way.

After we took the filming we needed to do the editing. Therefore i used Final Cut Express HD (the editing is shown up above). This is the final finish of the videos. 

i have also uploaded the videos onYouTube to make it public to anyone around the world.

why we have done this 

as a group it was our first time with the camera and first time we worked as a group. this made us gain more experience to working and communicate better, it also gave us more skill with using the camera and the camera equipment. we also experience how to act and dialogue amongst ourselves which will be very helpful when we recored our two minute video. Acting will be under lined in the movie, this means it needs to be close to professional and flexible while acting
