The first film project !

Before being assigned the task of making a 2 minute movie we originally had to create a smaller 30 second - 1 minute long film. To help us get to grips with making a movie. It was a very simple task, it had to feature someone entering a room through a door, sitting down on a chair or at a table and engage in a few lines of dialogue with another character.

Because of the strict limitations, as well as the lack of a budget and short amount of time we had to make the film, we decided to work with the surroundings and props we all ready had. We created a film simply called 'Bully'. Me, Tom and Rudi created the idea of a character being bullied in a classroom within the college. The bully entered the room and ordered the victim to complete his work by a certain time. Or else.

We decided that if the victim stood up for his self it would created a more interesting story. I wrote up a script but we didn't have the chance to act it out before the first ( and only!) day of filming.

When the victim stands up for himself we decided to use a low angle, to show a switch of power within their relationship. We also used handheld camera to record the beginning of the film, where the bully enters the room. The constant slight jogging of the camera is used to represent the characters un- ease. As well as his threatening intentions.
