Preliminary Exercise





This is our preliminary task. In this you will see us using the basic filming techniques: Shot/Reverse shot, 180 degree rule, match on action and making sure all the editing we included used continuity. We found that the shot/reverse shot was the easiest angle to film as the camera just had to stay still and focus on the main character talking at that moment. This compared to keeping with continuity and 180 degree rule as these are the most important to keep precise. If any of these are filmed wrong it would mean that although the scene may still continue and follow through, if anything changed or we broke the 180 degree rule it can leave the audience confused. This was something we has to focus on in order to make sure that even though it was a task preparing us for our main task, it created a realistic view and everything was kept the same. 

The filming was quick and easy to do, especially because it was only 30 seconds long, however, the editing took longer to sort. When it came to the editing we had to make sure that it wasn't choppy and that when we showed the match on action it did follow through and showed the action being completed. We didn't expect it to take so long, but as we used the editing program Premier Pro, we already had a good insight into how to do certain things which made it easy for us.

This gave us an insight before being our main task and would help to improve our filming by comparing the main task to the preliminary.
