Preliminary task evaluation part 2

3) Give a detailed, specific example of how you have used a shot/ reverse shot combination in your film.

When the two students were sat down and were talking we switched the camera to see each of their faces for reactions or speech.

4) Give a detailed, specific example of how you achieved match cuts during the editing process.

Unfortunately we ran out of time to shoot this shot, so we know for the next main task to have plenty of time before editing to check that we have all the shots we need to maximize the shot list and to have verity in out shots.

5] How did you make sure that you didn’t break the 180-degree rule? Or if you broke it, what have you learnt from this?

We had a wall at the either side of the table so we couldn’t physically break the 180-degree rule. We used a clear 180-degree swipe on the side of the table to make sure we didn’t break the rule.

Preliminary task evaluation.

1) What did you learn about the cameras and editing software during the preliminary task?
We learnt how to cut and rearranged the sound but keep the film in the same position. We have also learned how to add effects such as transitions at the end of the film to fade it out.
2) In the filming and editing of your project, what worked well and what could have been improved?
The things that worked well are we shared the camera duties and all filmed parts of the task. This helped us to be able to come up with a good idea and work quickly and well together.
Things that didn't work too well was the fact that we didnt communicate well enough to let everyone know when the scene was actually supposed to end; this caused problems in the editing as we then had our voices shouting "end" when the actors were either talking or needed to act abit more. Next time we will freeze to let the cameraman know that we are finnishing the scene this will help in editing as we will have more to work with aswell.

Preliminary task - completed



This is the finished version of the preliminary task.
