Alright, our preliminary task is DONE

Oh, so we've finally finished our preliminary task. It's a brief odyssey of mystery and intrigue, touching upon harsh subject matter such as coercion and financial difficulty. At least if you look deep enough into it.

Glowing critical praise includes:

CHARLEY: "It's great."
GEORGE: "There's some great acting ha ha ha ha."

Well, with reviews such as this, our A*s are in the bag! In truth, I think it turned out as good as it possibly could've. The camerawork was a little shaky here and there, where perhaps a tripod could've been better, but it didn't look as shaky on the LCD screen as it does when maximised to a full computer screen. In terms of continuity, however, it's pretty sound. I think this is mostly because we didn't pick particularly complicated actions to keep continuous, although we did have to repeatedly replace Charley's props each time they were 'displaced' by George. Which turned out perfectly fine, actually. And, hey, mad credits to the two thespians who had to wear the exact same (visible) clothes for the two days of filming, even Charley kept her hair pretty much the same. So I think in terms of continuity and actual technical filming, it's turned out pretty good.
