Location

After speaking to the staff in KFC they advised us to come as late as possible as not to interfere with their customers. After gaining this permission KFC was set as our filming location.

Mr Reid had given us the task to create a short piece including one of our characters opening a door, following through the room, sitting across from another character and engage in a conversation. We needed to include an array of different shots including a 2 shot and at least one 180 degree shot. We had to use appropriate editing techniques and justify why we used them. These were the only guidelines we were given, the rest of it was our choice.

Idea

We thought that with the actors and props available to us, a comedic date would be our best theme.

How

Peniel had access to a high quality HD camcorder so we used it to film our task. We made our way to KFC and went through everything one final time before we began filming. We knew that in order to get our continuity editing right we had to film it all on the night so we came prepared with everything we’d need.

Who

The filming was carried out by Peniel and Jonathan. Ben and Taylor would be the main actors and I directed it by ensuring that everything was done how I wanted it to be.
