Director: Elijah Smalling

Writer: Elijah Smalling & Gottfried Nortey

Editor: Gottfried Nortey


Cast:

Gottfried Nortey as Gottfried
Tino Chimunye as Tino
Leon Macauley as Mr. StealYourGirl

Cheryl is a short film developed by myself and fellow students; Elijah, Leon and Tino. The film follows stars myself as a hungry, un-respected student who is shocked to one of his friends is wooing his sister, Cheryl.

Various techniques were incorporated into the making of this film, but the main ones I will assess are:
-Match on Action
-Eye line Match

Match on Action

In the first scene, we see a very malnourished Gottfried rubbing his belly and staring at his  watch.

The Shooting: For this technique we filmed two different shots
- The shot of the watch
- The shot of the biscuit

The Edit: I then used Adobe Premier to put the two shots back to back. I finally put a crossfade on to create the dissolve effect.

Eye Line Match

In the second scene, we see Mr. StealYourGirl laughing at his phone while Gottfried suspiciously looks over.

The Shooting: For this technique we also filmed two different shots
- The shot of Mr. StealYourGirl
- The shot of the phone

The Edit: I used Adobe Premier to put the two shots back to back.
