We decided to record the audio of us meeting up and outlining tasks to be completed and problems to overcome.

Preliminary Task Final Product

This is the final product for the Set Brief, We have added a dark, black and white filter to make it seem more appropriate to the genre of film noir. We have followed the storyboard and audio plans rather efficiently. The use of the audio does not breach copyright law as we have used the sound effects from iMovie's selection unless it is sold as it is found on the iLife's Terms and Conditions: "All Sample Content included in iMovie may be used on a royalty-free basis in your own video projects but may not be distributed on a standalone basis."

If I were to film it again, I would use a tripod as it looks quite shaky which is very unconventional for a film noir. I would also find a better location as it doesn't look right for the context of the task.

All in all, I believe we have followed the task's criteria effectively and produced a rather well constructed video for the time scale we were given.

Preliminary Task Scripts and Audio Plans

This is the first, rough audio plan and script. We didn't finish it as we quickly realised that this would drag on for too long and for the time it would have taken wouldn't produce that much of a more professional product. With this in mind, we created another, more simplistic plan the relied more on audio than speech

 This is the final script, this is very similar to the first script in the way we have dissected each shot with the audio needed to play through it.



Set Brief Storyboard and Animatic

This is the storyboard for our Preliminary task or 'Set Brief'. We spent quite a lot of time on the storyboard as we felt we needed a detailed one to stop us from improvising scenes and go off topic. It also gave us a set series of angles and positions for the camera.  We used the audio from the final piece To make an animatic. Usually, the audio would have been rough recorded but we didn't have the time and we wanted to see if we had followed the storyboard accurately and we believe he have.
