Evaluation- For our task we were required to create a short film for DepicT. for our video we decided to create a comedy skit of a over-dramatic fight with a vending machine as one person is unable to retrieve the item they purchased. The group consisted of myself, Lewis, Michelle and Adam and we spent around to 4 lessons recording all of our shots and another 3 to edit everything together, throughout our recording and editing we had comedy in mind, so we sometimes decided to change some of the ideas we had in our shot list and added in certain pieces into our film. for editing we added a number of different editing techniques into our film like silly zoom in's on people's faces, changing the pitch of people's voice's and adding green screen characters.

The full concept of out film was about someone who was having difficulty with a vending machine which then evolves into an over-dramatic fight with the person and their friend who joins in until he decides to summon Scarce ( a well known youtuber) who also joins with the silly fight. The actors were myself, Adam and Lewis and the person recording was Michelle. In the group I took some of shots in the recording and did some of the acting within the film and during the editing we all took part in deciding what to add from our recording into the final project and Lewis did most of the editing effects such as adding in the green screen character and zoom in's in total we recorded around 3 to 4 minutes worth of footage and we were to record everything we wanted to in the short list and anything else we decided to add in it would have been around 8 to 10 minutes worth of footage to use but DepicT video's are only around 90 seconds long so having that much footage would be an extreme amount of footage to go through and decide if it would be in the final version of the short film.
our film used only 2 props which was the water bottle and the pieces of paper with the words double upload on it apart from those 2 items the rest of our video didn't need any other props unless we were I include footage that we didn't get to record as we were looking into using a number of props.
