PRELIMINARY TASK - OUR IDEA

Our task is to produce a one minute film, featuring "a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue". The task focuses on continuity and must be presented on the 13th December. Pre-production should have been completed by the 18th of November, whilst the production window lasts from the 19th of November to the 26th of November. Post production lasts from the 27th November to the 12th of December.

I will be working as the Director and as a second Camera man, whilst Jamie Stone will be the producer and the other Camera man. Our idea is for a "workaholic" office worker to be confronted by a child who tells him that he neeeds to remember how to have fun and realise that life is about more than work.

PRELIMINARY TASK - TEAM

For the Preliminary Task I have been teamed up with Jamie Stone. We immediatly started brainstorming ideas for our production. (I will post a picture of the sheet we used to brainstorm on).
