POST 2 - Opening Task Planning


We are using the question ‘why are superstitions a thing?’ to create a 2 minute film. This is our first project and we are hoping to experiment and learn new skills and try out things we haven't done before. 

In our film, the mum tells a young girl a very popular superstition of where if you break a mirror, you get 7 years bad luck. In the next scenes of the film, she breaks a mirror because the salon messed up the girls eyebrows.  After, she receives a lot of bad luck like being pooped on by a bird, cracking your phone and stepping out in front of a car by accident. The film will end on a black screen which will leave to the audience's imagination what happened to this young girl.


We chose this topic because we all know of these superstitions and they have been around for a very long time but we have no idea when or why they were created or even by who. It’s just something that we have all grown up with and our parents have grown up with and whether you believe or not, it’s still around and everyone knows it. So we decided to go with the whole superstition idea because it’s a very mysterious idea and there’s a lot of film ideas you could come up with this for this topic. We are going with the plot above as after a lot of deliberation, we thought that this would be a good first film idea as we haven't had much experience with creating a film so we don't want to go too extreme whilst we are just learning.


The roles that have been taken up within our group are:

  • Editors: Mimi Warne and Neve Riseborough

  • Producer: Beth Harmer 

  • Director: Flossie Warne

Decisions and there Outcomes. We decided to have two people filming at one time to varied perspectives of the shot being filmed. Having done this, it helped us to change up the shots regularly to keep the audience interested. We used a wide range of camera shots to make the perspectives seem realistic. Some of the shots we used were ; the OTS shot the noddy shot the POV shot the weather shot Briefly, the over-the-shoulder shot is looking from behind a person at the subject. the noddy shot usually refers to a shot of the interviewer listening and reacting to the subject. We used the weather sot which is where the subject is the weather. it can be used for other purposes, e.g background for graphics. Finally, we used the POV shot which shows a view from the subjects perspective.  We also used a wide range of camera angles to demonstrate different aspects of the films setting.
