Our Final Piece

Our Final Piece

This is our final piece 'QUICKSAND'.

In our final piece we demonstrated a variety of media skills and technologies, both in the planning of the piece and the post-production editing.

Our favourite and arguable most crucial shot is the varying shots of our protagonist running. We used match-on-action shots throughout to show continuity, as well as including an extreme high angle shot of him running towards the camera.

The most difficult aspect of our teaser trailer was retaining subtlety while clearly depicting the protagonists struggle. One way in which we did this was by shooting the protagonist in the same setting both alone and laughing with friends. We wanted to depict how even when he is surrounded by others he feels alone.

If we were to start this project again the weaknesses which we would focus on particularly would be our shots of symbolism. Masculine symbols such as the boxing scene, running and close ups of perspiration could perhaps have more relevance to the plot. Similarly, we could perhaps experiment more with sound, incorporating maybe a voiceover or on/off-screen diegetic dialogue.
