Preliminary task

Here is our preliminary task. We were giving the task to recreate one minute of existing video.  Me, Jessie and Helen decided to take a minute from the video Pompeii by Bastille. It took us a while to get started as we were trying to find the right places to film the different shots. At first we intended the opening shots to be filmed in a warehouse. Unfortunaly due to health and safety reasons we weren't able to film there so then we got suggested to film at Exeter St David's train station but we were also unable to film there either. So we decided to find a suitable place to film in the school.

Overall the filming could have a gone a bit better as some of the shots were out of focus and we should have played around with the lighting. On the other hand some of the shots were successful and looked really good. We managed to get thing singing scenes in sync with the lyrics.  

By doing the preliminary task, it has developed previous skills and has also made me and Jessie more aware that we need to do much more planning and research into the codes and conventions into our own genre. Even though the video wasn't amazing. I am still very happy on how it has turned out.
