For this task we were asked to make a silent short film that had certain restrictions and certain shots we were meant to take. It was also compulsory for us to include a package which had to be exchanged at least once between two people. we included a parcel exchanged twice once between me and Rhys and once between Viv and Rhys.

In this scene the lighting was darker than the rest as we were using it to try and create a mood of suspense into who and why there was a knock on the door. One of the shots we were asked to take was a match-on-action, our match-on-action was implemented when Rhys answered the door. We cut the scene so that we could film him opening and walking through the door on the other side.

This scene contains a point of view shot from Viv looking into the box to show the audience that it is empty, this assures the audience that the box only wants to slap Rhys as a sort of troll. There was a problem though because in this scene the box was a different way around to the scene before as we were trying to conceal the hole. This left an error we only noticed before we finished editing and we didn't have the time to re-shoot the shot.

This scene was a close up of Rhys getting slapped in the face by Viv's hand. We were asked to use 5 close up shots in our short film and this was one of them. the shot added to the comedy because who doesn't love someone being slapped in the face? Originally Rhys wasn't here for the planning stage so we planned it assuming Joshua would star as the main character but then Rhys returned.

In this scene we used camera movement instead of cutting it down to show how Rhys was walking with haste. In this scene we also followed the 180 degree rule. After Rhys had stopped we cut to a closer view of him trying to return the box.

We used a fade out of the title screen to make the film run smoother. the fade went from the middle of the title to the beginning of the first shot. We wanted the film to run as smooth as possible so we decided to add fades in to show a change of scene and to make sure there wasn't any sharp cuts.

We used a fade from the end of the indoor scene to show that the scenery was changing and so was the location. In this scene Rhys was trying to return the box as you can see from a previous screenshot I took. the fade was effective because you don't see a sharp cut between locations, there is a smooth transition and it works nicely.
