Preliminary Task

Preliminary Task Evaluation

Throughout the task, we had specific shots in which we had to conclude whilst creating the movie, such as match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180 degree rule. For the movie itself we had to have a character opening a door, to then walk over and sit opposite another character and then exchange a few lines of dialogue. This can be simple and easy to do, however, if you're new to this it won't be as easy as you would think.
As a group, we planned out what we were going to do by using a storyboard, the idea of this was so that we could figure out how we were going to film smoothly, without having to think on the spot. We also used 'actors' in the movie, which was a great help so we could work behind the camera and learn how to use it correctly.
This being the first time of putting our video together, it wouldn't be perfect-especially with smooth editing. Continuity editing on our video wasn't brilliant as you can tell when parts had been edited in, but it wasn't a complete disaster. This is an example and explanation of Continuity Editing.
