The planning of the preliminary task went well. Initial brainstorming led to some very imaginative and creative ideas, such as a drug deal and two hitmen preparing for a kill. Eventually, due to the constraints of time and resources and the fact that the preliminary task is of relatively minor importance, we settled on a less ambitious idea: two 'agents' meeting for an exchange of a bag. Discussion then moved to location, actors and props. As filming was scheduled to take place in school, somewhere suitable would have to be found. However, there appeared to be a lack of free classrooms for the day of filming. This was not a major problem, as if required, we could use our classroom as it appeared the other groups were filming elsewhere. I volunteered to be one of the actors as I feel comfortable in that kind of role. As Vicente was confident with being the cameraman, we needed another actor. Luckily, Oliver from another group was willing to take the role. In terms of props, we decided that my school bag could be sufficiently used as the bag.
The next step was storyboarding. Vicente volunteered for this role as he is a skilled artist and felt confident doing it. Whilst he was working on that, I created the dialogue for the scene. I kept it fairly simple, opting for a serious tone to match the theme. My main concern is that the dialogue is slightly cliched, but this is not a major concern for the preliminary task.
