The Exchange

This is my exchange, in my group were Jamie Brittain, Yasmin Ryan, Martain Osbourne and Emily Stansfield. In this Exercise we were asked to go out and film an exchange of anything between two characters. Our group decided that me and Jamie would be the actors and that Martain, Emily and Yasmin would film it. The basic storyline of the sequence is just a basic drug deal but we wanted to give it a more edgey feel so used some shots of texts and police helicopters etc.

When we had shown our piece to the class we got some feedback from them about it. The class for the most part enjoyed our exchange, saying that we had good shots; our overhead extra long shot of Jamie walkin to the meet and the fact that we got footage of an actual police helicopter.

We chose to use to different songs for background music in our sequence. We firstly used a song from a video game called; Grand Theft Auto 4, this song went down well with the group. Our second song was a grime song called dealers by Devlin; me and other members in my group thought this song was perfect for our piece due to the fact that the lyrics relate to what was happening in the action. The group gave us mixed reactions about the song choice but i believe this is purely for the fact they didnt get the lyrics and therefore didnt see the relevance.

When asked if our piece fitted the brief we got a good reaction from the class that we had done what we were asked of.
