After discussing in our group what we should do, we have decided that we would like to go down the comic root.
Our film is based around a similar idea to our prelim but instead the interview is hypothetical and only plays a small part.
The story is based around one main character and he is very unlucky in the way his life is.
It begins with our character getting up to go for an interview and it is a very nice day and he is dressed well and has plenty of time, when he gets to the interview there is a freeze frame and a narration over the top saying "if only my life was this simple".
It then cuts to him waking up in a mess and noticing that he has overslept he rushes all of his jobs and encounters a lot of misfortune like spilling coffee over himself and missing the bus.
He turns up at the interview in a bad state where the employee asks him "what happened to you?".

Media Preliminary Task - Final Cut
After producing our storyboard and anamatic. We filmed and edited our final preliminary sequence. the only rule we had to follow was the 180 degree rule, apart from that we were able to film whatever we wanted. The filming went very well but when we got back to do the editing we realised there were shots missing that had not transferred to the mac. When editing we were able to produce a fairly good overall piece even without the missing shots and we were able to stick to the 180 degree rule.
Even though we stuck to the 180 degree rule there was still the occassional fault. For example there was the occassional camera shudder but this was unavoidable as we did not have a tripod. Also some cut shots were fairly jumpy but not too noticeable and there was a fair bit of wasted space above the actors heads.
We used a variaty of shots in our sequence such as the establishing shot and over the shoulder shot. this gave our sequence some variety and stopped the sequence from getting boring.
Also our shots were not too long and awkward and so were not boring.
Overall i feel that this task went very well. Of course there were some faults that were probably avoidable but from these problems we will be able to make the sufficient improvements and learn to make our final piece the best it can be.
