This is my video upload of our preliminary task where we had to shoot some footage of a breif storyline within the school premesis. This is what we came up with and it is currently titled "Mafia prelim task". By me, Jamie Webb, Jamie Moulds and Rhys Evans.
Overall, I think that our prelim task was very succsessful because we shot all the footage that we wanted within the given time. It got some good feedback from the audience that watched it and the music, mis-en-scene, footage etc was very fitting to it's title 'Mafia style prelim'. If I was to change anything about it I would enhance the vocals as they are somewhat quiet.
