5. Reflection
My chosen idea was idea 2 it is fairly straight forward but is more interesting than my ideas 3, however I will need to change the location a bit as it is a health and safety risk to film at a train station also they may not want me filming on the property so my thought was so either film at a bus station (or bus stop) as it is allowed and is safer to film, my other idea was to film in a area near a train station so that it keeps in theme with my initial idea.
With idea 3 I made the mistake of involving more commentary when the project should only have the phrase “Hello” in it, however I didn’t know this at the time. What I would do to change this and for it to fit the brief is for when the women opens the door to the Avon lady the Avon lady would say hello in the loudest way possible and then the women gives her the Avon book quickly and closes the door, the women then sighs and then walks out of shot with the Avon lady still in shot then the scene ends.
With my first idea i do like the idea however I did over complicate it considering that only one phrase can be said, I don’t think it could make a lot of sense to the viewer as there wouldn’t be any commentary till the end of the scene. I do think that if more commentary was allowed then this would be a good idea to try make.
