What did you have to do and what was the purpose of the task?

The purpose of the task was to understand the different types of camera shots and how you can create a scene from simple still images. Also to understand how effective these simple shots can be as shown in the film 'The Good the Bad and the Ugly'.

 - What have you learnt in terms of skills, key concepts and ideas etc...

I have learnt the different types of camera shots and angles and how each shot can be interpreted. Some key ideas we came across were that just a simple facial expression or stance can be portrayed a long way.

- What would you do differently if you had the chance?

If I were to do this task again, I would definately change some of our facial expressions as some of them are just 'normal' and don't tell a story. Also, I would add some background music to add to the tension being built, enhancing the scene.

- What lessons have you learnt in terms of pre-production / production; in other words, how will you be more efficient next time?

We will all decide on a set location of the school rather than wandering about trying to find one wasting valuable time. Also we could create a more detailed storyboard which is easier for the director to understand and remember as our one was very simple and it didn't have any annotations on it, making the directors and the actors job a little more difficult.
