Problems We Faced

Problems with filming included the weather not being on our side. It was very windy and the main thing that can be heard is the wind blowing.
The main problem with editing our film was trying to cut it down to one minute. We eventually settled with 1 min 10 seconds. When adding transitions to our film they kept going on the wrong scenes.
When writing the review for our magazine article, we decided to write a negative review, this is because there was a lot more negative things we could say about our film than postitive things.

Creating Our Magazine Article

We chose to do a negative article about our short film. We created a magazine called 'Action' because the name relates to the filmaking industry. Using Fireworks, we created a small masthead to put in the corner of the article page.

We took photos for our magazine article, we wanted to make them look like they were behind the scenes photos and photos of rehersals.

The Script

(In the car park, the car cleeaner is cleaning a car. Business woman walks over towards her own car.)

Car cleaner: Good afternoon Madam, would you be interested in having your vehicle cleaned?
Business woman: No sorry, I'm very busy today.
CC: Hang on wait, Don;t I know you from somewhere?
BW: No I doubt it.
CC: Didn't we go to school together?
BW: Oh yes, your'e Mary Smith aren't you?
CC: Yes, what are doing these days?
BW: I'm an executive for a very big company.
CC: Your'e lucky, I really messed up on my exams, I wish I had paid more attention.
BW: Well i'm sure things will work out for you too.

(Flashback, sitting the exam, swapping the exam papers at the end.)

(Back to car park)

BW: Would you like a hand with that?
CC: Yeah sure thanks!
(Both start cleaning the car)

The Set

We first started filimg our short film at a house scene but we found that the lighting was wrong and it did not look as effective and it did not portray the story the way we intended.

We then changed the set to a car park and made the lowskilled job a car cleaner. The car park effectively showed the comparison between the two characters and so we used this for our final idea.
