Representation of teen life - Short film


This was the second experience I had using a video camera and other filming equipment such as the tripod.  We did this to work on the core skills we had gained from the preliminary task and developed basic script writing skills. The focus was to centre the piece on the stereotypical issues surrounding teen life, e.g. knife crime, bullying, theft etc.

We tried to use a variety of shots and camera movements in the piece, with long shots, mid shots and close ups, we also used zooms and pans. In order to emphasise the issue in our short film, we chose to use a match on action with a close up shot to exaggerate certain aspects of the shot and make it feel more threatening.
