The first preliminary task (interview testing in China)

This is the interview that is done in China by Melissa, and I edited it to put the voiceover and the video together. This is because just like what I said in the 'About the preliminary task' blog, the place that we chose for filming is too noisy, it is a cafe and there are too many people there, and in the original video the voice of the participant seems to be too small that it might not hear very clearly. As a result, the participant was filmming and recording at the same time by holding the phone for recording and Melissa was using camera to film him. Since both of them are in Chinese, I added the subtitles of translations (you need to click the subtitles to see it).

Here is the original video:

And here is the one that I have added the voiceover:

I think it would have some difference. The reason that we think it is a failed interview is because the background sound is too noisy and we are not sure if we could filmed with holding the phone (as it looks quite strange)

About the preliminary task

About the preliminary task, Melissa and I think about to do the interview testing. We decided to do two videos about the interview testing, one is that Melissa has done in summer holiday, which she interviewed her friend, but we think that one is more likely to be a failed one, as the location that we chose to film was too noisy(in China, the cafe is a lot more noisy), and we had to let the participant hold the phone and record the sound which seems to be quite strange and we are not sure if it would be okay. Another one is one we filmed with our friend in this school which was filmed in her room.

The reason why we choose to do interview testing is because it is quite important in our product. Also, as we are going to try the way of showing interviews in Eagle Huntress in our product, it would be great if we do this for the preliminary task and have a look.

The short film of preliminary task

This is the film of the preliminary task. And a great thank Cynthia, who helped me with the script, the filming and editing. Also, thanks to Egbert who is our actor and our actress Ellie Gardiner.
Here is the film, hope you enjoy it!

The script of my preliminary task

I am writing my script for my preliminary task. This is a plot for a film noir. And here is a part of my script:

And I also analyse it:(as shown below)

When I am writing the script, I find that it is not really easy. First, I don't really know about the format, and I write in the wrong format. Therefore, I have to rewrite it. And I have to think about the story. Every time I think, I get a new idea, that makes me change the description of the scene and the dialogue. I and Melissa are doing together, so we discuss the script a lot. I hope I can write a better one after discussing with Melissa.
