Evaluation of preliminary task
EVALUATION
Our preliminary task was the first time we had ever filmed a short piece of film, considering this we did quite well.
I think the positives from this was we used all of things we needed to which were demonstrate match on action, the 180 degree rule and shot/reverse shot. We could of improved by filming each scene more than once because if you only film once we noticed we had quite shaky camera movement and due to not being able to film again this made this task look quite unprofessional.
It was our first try filming so we tried our best and this is what we came out with:

Representation of characters
Representation is basically when people are re-presented to an audience.
This is the spider diagram we made in class to plan how are characters will be represented. It will be representation that will challenge the stereotype.
The lady will be blonde but not the stereotypical dumb blonde she will be a smart/intelligent blonde. She will look sexually provocative, with over the top make-up but like i said she is very smart, which will appeal to the audience.
The man isn't going to be the stereotypical strong confident male he will be very self-conscious and nervous and will also have a low self esteem. This will be shown in his dialogue as he will keep speaking and asking questions because he is so nervous.

Mise en scene for our preliminary task
THE MISE EN SCENE FOR OUR PRELIMINARY TASK
Settings/props
The setting is a cafe we will be using the school dance studio for this and the table will be set up for the couple, a candle and two glasses.
Costume/Hair + Make - Up
Both characters will be wearing nice clothes, the woman will be wearing a dress and heels and she will have blonde hair and pretty make up. The man will be wearing a suit and will have slicked back hair and wearing glasses.
Facial Expressions
When you first see the man he is smiling and so is the woman this represent the happy mood of the blind date as they meet each other.
Lighting and Colour
The lighting will be high key with a candle as a filler light, to make a happy/romantic mood which relates to the genre.

Location of our preliminary task
Location is very important and plays a big part in setting the scene in films/TV shows etc...
The factors you need to consider when choosing your location are:
Our idea for the preliminary task is a blind date in a cafe.
We have chosen the dance studio in school, this is because we can access it easily as the teacher that uses the dance studio is a form tutor of a girl in my group and we can use it in one of our media lessons as the dance studio is not being used then.There are mirrors in the dance covered but these will be covered by curtains to make it look more realistic. The floor is wooden which suits the task well because when the lady walks across the floor you will hear the sound of her heels which will create good effect. The dance studio is a blank canvas, this means we can adapt the room to how we want to make it look like a cafe, with different props. Props will be easily accessed because the school has table and chairs that we can use any time.
The factors you need to consider when choosing your location are:
- Accessibility
- Weather
- Relevance to the movie/TV show etc...
- Time of the day
- Safety
- Spacing
- Hygiene/health
- Permission

Mise en Scene
Mise en scene is basically a description of everything in the scene, the visual information in front of the camera. The key elements of mise en scene are:
Setting and props
Setting and location play an important part in film making and are not just background, the sets are either built from scratch or a great deal of time is spent to try and find a setting that already exists. Setting can also build certain expectations and then take a different turn.
Costume, hair and make up
It acts as an indicator to us of a character's personality, status and job, and is also an indicator of feelings.
Positioning of characters (composition)
This can draw our attention to an important object and can also show relationships between characters.
Colour
This carries certain connotations, e.g red=danger etc... It also gives a scene a particular mood, look or feel. It is also used for dramatic effect.
Lighting
To highlight importance and can make characters look mysterious by shading sections of the face. The different types of lighting are;
Low key which is created using key and back lights, produces sharp contrast of light and dark areas. Deep distinct, shadows are formed for horror films.
High key which is created using filler lights and gives a natural and realistic effect and can be used to set a sunny day as its bright and can be used in romantic comedies.
- Setting and props
- Costume, hair and make up
- Facial expressions, body language
- Lighting and colour
- Positioning of characters/objects within the frame
