Editor's Notes
Because as teenagers we can relate and justifythe story and the genre.As I see most of teenagers are lazy and irresponsible.The opening sequence shows a teenage bot who stays up at night because he has to revise for his final exam and how he was awake until 3 in the morning but still didn't manage to revise anything.
The first task of our production portfolio and as a group was to create a short one-minute video with a character opening door and a conversation. It was aimed to demonstrate our understanding of……As the director of our groups I was in charge of the whole task from allocating activities to different group members to organising everything whilst shooting. I also played the role of cinematographer, editor, story writer along with being a director.I also collaborated in writing the screenplay around the preliminary task along with our dialogue writer. Although our preliminary task was successful and very helpful in understanding that how much time and skill needed to produce a media product and we also learnt some technical aspects of the media production but I felt, I wasn’t very successful as director because there was some errors in organising and shooting schedules but that encouraged me to do well in our main task.
Although the preliminary task was successful, it taught me and my group some important skills which was very needed for our main task.For e.g. as director I learnt that how each part of the production requires time so, how to organise everything and because of the less time we can’t give 100% of ourselves to the task.As group we learnt the importance of technical equipment and other properties should be ready for shooting, because a minor issue can lead to delays and which happened during the preliminary task so for the main task we ensured that everything is ready for shooting as scheduled.
Before starting the research I had a initial idea about the story for our main task so, we started research around the storyline. But we were confused between the genre wither it is teen comedy or teen drama. So, we started researching about films into similar genre.
