The Feed the Fish Peliminary Task

The 'have you fed the fish?' task was a good way to show how we interpreted it and how we could use it to produce something different and that had our own views and opinions on it. The idea we had was to take 'the fish' as a person to portray the strange, suspicious activity of the characters. We did it in a way that the viewers would have been able to form their own opinion on what it was before the 'feed the fish' idea was revealed.

Using a range of shots to get the feeling of weird, creepy, criminal behaviour, the high angle shot when the character is going up the stairs at a high speed shows she going away from something, she is looking like she wants to get away from there quickly as if she has done something wrong. The high angle of the character opening the door shows the lower status of the character and that the other character has a higher status because of the high angle that she is going into somewhere with a person  of higher status. Using the shots of point of view it gave the viewers a way to be part of the film, it felt as if the viewer was the person the character was talking back to. This let the viewers into the film more and showed them what the characters are seeing.

The problems we had when we did the preliminary task involved editing and filming, when we uploaded the film the footage that we had hadn't uploaded and we didn't know where it had gone, we didn't have a chance to film anymore before the task had to be handed in so we didn't have the shots we wanted but the film still worked.When the character says 'have you fed the fish?' the line is used in a way in which something secret is being done because of the way it is spoken, this puts questions in the viewers minds to what the line would mean? This let's the viewers make up their own mind of the story.
