This continuity piece called 'The Decoy' was filmed and produced by myself, Tom, Dan and Callum. The focus of the this film was to open awareness of viewers. Despite the piece being short it still managed to get across an opening to possibly a program on the TV. The main plot of this was that the main character (me/Jon) is stitched up by he so called 'friends' and plants him with class A drugs.
This short piece gave a true feel to how the filming a piece is like and really opened our minds to how far we could take our ideas for the final piece when it would come to producing it. We also gathered very useful skills while in the process of filming The Decoy, such as with filming for when we need a still shot without movement, we would use a tripod to ensure that the shot would be perfect. we also was able to get an idea on why we should use different shots, this allowed us to capture a characters feelings or emotions a lot more effective as we could show it with a close-up or a medium shot of various people/characters. Overall the production of this piece benefits us in many ways as we can act on any mistakes which we may have took in the process of making this short piece. for example in some shots you are able to hear the background noise over the non-diegetic sound track, which when it comes to our main piece we can over come this and look out for it.
