This is the first draft of our preliminary task, the version we did when Roisin was ill, and so couldn't be in the film. After editing it using simple straight cuts throughout, and trying to get as much continuity as possible, we then showed it to the class and got feedback from them. Overall, there was a very positive response, and this inspired us to do a very similar piece for our actual task. However, they also gave us some feedback about continuity (as you can see in the video, there is a tripod in one shot, and I use the wrong hand to open the door as well). So in our second attempt, we made sure that there was not only editing continuity, but also mise-en-scene continuity.
As you can see - or hear - we used a Madness track over this piece. Originally we had no music, but we felt that it needed something to make it feel more finished, and so we browsed through the macs and jokingly put this song on. However, we all felt that it actually worked really well, and added a sense of comedy to the footage, which is what we wanted, as the genre we are trying to fit our piece into is teen drama, which quite often has elements of comedy in.
Overall, you can see that this is a good starting point for our actual task to improve from, and hopefully we have!
