The Quiet Task (Akthar, Ataur, Mustaq, Ridwan)

 
This was called the quiet task because we were not allowed to use any words other than "yes" and "no". The main focus of this task was props, however we did not have many props to use because they were not suitable with our storyline.

This is the Quiet Task video which our group produced. Mustaq is entering the toilet but Ridwan is also in need of the toilet, this creates a scene as only one cubicle is available so Mustaq and Ridwan argue over going to the toilet. They are both angry with each other, meanwhile Ataur lets himself into the toilet leaving Mustaq and Ridwan even more annoyed and still arguing with each other.

My main parts for this piece of work were acting for 1 shot throughout the video and creating ideas for the storyboard, also I took part in editing small parts of the video. During this task, I think that I acquired quite a few skills which I didn't know before. I learnt how to use the 'iMovie HD' software to edit our video. I also learnt how to use transitions on an iMac which was new to me.

I think that the most difficult part of this task was thinking of a storyline to use without using any words apart from "yes" and "no". However, I think that our idea of the storyline was successful as the video helps the audience understand what happens although there are only two words used in the video.

The Chase (Akthar, Ataur, Mustaq, Ridwan)

 
This task was called the chase because we had to film a chase, which could be any type of chase. The main focuses of this was props and costumes. Props and costumes have been used carefully to make this video successful.

This was our group's "The Chase" video. In this movie an innocent man is robbed whilst walking home by a tramp from the streets. The tramp is enjoying himself listening to music on the mobile phone that he stole from Ridwan the innocent man, meanwhile Ridwan finds him, and takes the tramps cap as well as his own mobile phone back.

In this video I had the least amount of things to do because I wasn't here for quite a few of the lessons due to being ill. Because I was not in I wasn't really able to learn anything that I didn't already know. However, the rest of the group did well while I was away,

I think our group could have made a better video if it had less swearing in it. I think that our video was funny and a unique idea.
