Media evaluation for preliminary task

EvaluationBy Naima Siddika Kamal

Induction Task

In the induction task we were told to produce a plan for a 2 minute film which includes a

character arriving at a door being opened, the character crossing a room sitting down in a

chair opposite another character and exchanging at least a couple of lines of

dialogue.

Plan for induction assignment

For the induction task we were put into a group of four in terms of the dialogue we chose to produce. My group had chosen to do a dialogue between a mother and son. In the group we deliberated and

chose one dialogue.Dialogue

Son: Hey mum…Mother: What are you doing here?!Son: That doesn’t matter right now, I need your help.Mother: NO! Get the hell out! NOW! I don’t want you here. I don’t want any trouble from you.

Camera shots• We used a variety of camera shots for instance

we used a panning shot to show the character walking towards the door.

• Another camera shot we used was a point of view shot which was used to show the mothers perspective.

• Close up was used to show the characters face.

• The different camera shots were used to emphasise a characters actions or to set a certain mood.
