3) How effectively did you complete the objective you laid out in your mini preliminary exercise statement of intent?

I believe I covered most aspects mentioned in my statement of intent but I didn’t get to use the props i mentioned. I was supposed to use a real guitar but I didn’t have the time to get it.

4) What have you learned from the preliminary exercise that will help you in the actual coursework project?

I’ve learned how using multiple locations can improve my work.

5) Now you have completed the preliminary exercise, will you change anything about your actual coursework video plan? This could include your concept, cast/actors or technical elements such as mise-en-scene, camerawork or editing.

Actors expressions Throughout the scene the characters display feelings of confusion, excitement and shock. I believe my actors were able to accurately display these feelings through the use of facial expressions and tones. Makeup The characters had blood on their face and to recreate this I used fake blood which created a similar look to the characters in the movie  Props In the movie the main prop is the document which is handed to the characters for which I used a sheet of paper and a pen. The script: Man in suit  Sign here. Hands over paper. Michael Wait...Hold on a second. You guys got my license back? Sonia You just signed the adoption papers. Darius The what?
