First Task

For my first task for this year I have been asked to produce a micro film of no longer than 30 seconds using the simple piece of dialogue provided. I am required to pay particular attention to mise-en-scene and cinematography and have been provided with a short list of core requirements concerning camerawork which must be included within my short film such as a 'short-reverse-shot' and a 'cross-cut' though I am not permitted to move the camera whilst filming. My short film must also have clear establishment of genre which I intend to address through the use of setting and costume.

First post: Introduction to A2

My name is Neil Readman and I am an A2 media student currently beginning studies into short films. Over the course of this year, I plan to research and study short films to gain a solid understanding of the typical conventions with the end task of producing my own short film.
