Preliminary Task Idea - Friends?

Evaluation

Today I shot still photos which represented the ideas for my preliminary task, even with creating the still photos I made a few mistakes. For example, I did not take enough photos to demonstrate how my video may go, also some of the photos that I took did not flow onto the other pictures. An example of this is when I used the picture of the girl (Sophie) looking in the mirror and the the next picture was her hand on the door handle. To make this better I would involve a picture which showed her moving towards the door with a shot of the full door and her walking to it and the perhaps a picture of her reaching for the door (of just her arm) and then the picture of her hand on the door handle.

I think the music used demonstrated my idea quite well. Sophie is seen wiping her face, which looks like she is clearing her face of tears, she then walks out of the toilet and walks over to the other girl (Taylor). When sitting down she leaves a seat in between so there is space, which looks like they are trying to keep space between them, indicating that perhaps they aren't friendly towards each other. I think I would change the smile on Sophie's face when the master shot is used (of both the girls and establishing the place of where the scene will take place and where all action in this scene will be happen) as it is out of character and doesn't fit the context. I think the music benefited and helped enforce the context as you can create the assumption that they aren't friends because perhaps there has been cheating going on "I'm begging of you please don't take my man". However the assumption is given that they were friends prior to the incident as they seem comfortable around each other due to the way the are sitting, it isn't formal as if they don't know each other or have never met. I think I did well by choosing the music which in a way explained the idea of my preliminary task narrative.

I struggled with the creating the credits as I wasn't sure how to create them, to improve next time when actually creating my preliminary task video I will watch film credits prior to understand the convergence, as I was confused of which category the directors and producers fell under, therefore I think i need to specifically watch a few ending credits of films on YouTube and just see the convergence between them and incorporate that in my work.

Overall I think that my photo's represented my idea for my preliminary task  very well (obviously there were faults that I will improve on with future tasks) and I think my video was good, I think for a first attempt it was a good try and I will learn from my mistakes that I have made.
