PRELIMINARY TASK

Preliminary Task.




My preliminary task was a brief to show my understanding of editing. This means I had to film where a character walks through a door and stands opposite another character and both characters have a couple of lines of dialogue. I needed to highlight my understanding of media by filming a match on action shot, shot reverse shot, and not break the 180 degree rule.

My preliminary video has been shortened to 30 seconds because of the app, Cute Cut.

In the preliminary task I like the fact that I never broke the 180 degree rule also I met everything on the criteria by filming two characters opposite each other also both characters have a couple lines of dialogue. The task was hard to complete as it was my first time filming however I really enjoyed the task. Also at one point I broke the 180 degrees rule so in result I had to retake the film.

I understand all the rules of filming for example the 180 degree rule and the match on action. I am most proud of my over the shoulder shots as I think they are best taken. I have made a story board and made my preliminary video by the story board how ever I can't put my storyboard up on the blogger website.

EBI:

On the first time round of taking the film the things that went wrong was the 180 degree rule and the match on action.  So I failed it first time round however I retook the scenes that I failed so the preliminary can be at its best.

The one scene that didn't look right was the conversation between two characters. The 180 degree rule was broken so the shot looked wrong. However I am really proud with the framing of the shots that are taken because there is a right amount of head room this may be because there was a mid shot, close up and long shot.

The one tool that really helped me make my preliminary task even better is my iPad. The iPad helped me edit the movie and also put it back together. Also it was easy to record on the iPad although it was handheld it was really steady.

How I could improve my preliminary task is by adding more effects for example adding a sound track over the acting also there are a lot of jump cuts that could be sorted out. Furthermore I could have a better and wider set to film the classroom is really small and it is packet with tables and chairs.
