TASK
We were asked to produce a 2minute short film. Using only one angle we were asked to produce content using either 'Meeting' or 'Irritation' as a title.
GROUP
Laurel Plain-Jones, Jacqui Pickup, Realexis Christofides and myself.
CONCEPT
We all decided that 'Irritation' would be our title. We realised the importance of irritating with everything we shown in shot. Irritate with the angle/viewpoint, irritate with the content etc...

After brainstorming we decided to have an aggravated situation with the camera out of view of it. An argument of some sort but only picking up the sound.

The irritating angle would be shot behind a bench, between the slats on the backrest, reducing the viewpoint and annoying the audience.

The scene would be of a girl sitting on the bench with her back to the camera, her phone goes off (so brings the annoying interference a mobile phone has on audible technology), the girl answers and is quite obnoxious, meanwhile in the background a group of people are having an argument. The girl (whom is face-less) sometimes blocks the view of the argument hopefully irritating the audience further as they (audience) normally plied with explanation are given none and is continually getting blocked from working out whats happening for themselves.

STORYBOARD
SUMMARY
The filming was really funny to act out as Laurel and I were the 'arguers'. It was hard to keep a straight face whilst making up things to argue about. I was happy with what came out and feel we considered 'Irritation' into everything we shot.
However for some reason the cameras settings were wrong and the footage was shot in frames and lost all the sound, factors that will be highlighted from the start of the next project.
Deborah (lecturer) thought it worked well and understood all the 'irritation' factors we included.
