Progress from Preliminary Task

During our preliminary task we had learnt to shoot simple scenes following the three fundamental parameters of 180° rule, shot-countershot and match on action: for our main task we focused on the third technique and we used it in two different scenes, even combined with a mirror screen effect.

We did not have any troubles with the choice our main character: among the three of us Erdene was clearly the most appropriate, having a pretty good knowledge about the film genre and a very convincing acting (the main thing I had learnt in that experience was that my acting is dreadful).

 Inaki, who had filmed our preliminary task, got the hang of it and, having a really good camera, took care about the whole filming aspect. Since we did not have any other characters to introduce, what I had to do was giving signals or advices to Erdene from hidden spots and hold the lights from different angles to give him a better visibility in the indoor scenes.
The editing part became a lot harder than it had been on the previous time since, instead of just cutting bits and put the scenes together, we had to add credits, control the speed of the shot transition and use  black screens to divide some parts which did not look good when linked together.
At the end of the day, I would guess that the toughest challenge we faced has been perhaps the research of a soundtrack that was free from copyright because it was the only part that we had not covered at all in our preliminary task.
