My brief for my preliminary task was to demonstrate an understanding of continuity editing, this meant filming a sequence whereby a character walks through a door and sits or stands opposite another character, and exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. I would need to highlight my understanding of media language by filming a match on action shot, shot reverse shot, and not break the 180 degree rule. For our prelim task, i looked at other opening scenes and got the general understanding. my group created a storyboard and script to make it easier when we was filming. we sorted out casting efficiently as we chose the most confident people to act. In my group me and Lyndon was acting and Aurelia was editing, although we all chipped in.
In my group, consisting; me, Aurelia, Lyndon, Samantha and Fatou, our task was to create a film clip, less than 1 min for our preliminary task.
We had several ideas for our short film; we decided to do a short film about an interrogation . This was the first initial take for out Preliminary Task. The feedback we received from our teacher was, we stuck to the same camera works which as the over the shoulder shot and eye-line match. Our teacher said we need to vary our camera works to make out short clip complex. However with the shots, we just used cuts but, we didn't use them correctly. For example, theres one shot of him going through the door but, we didn't show the journey of him actually opening the door. Also the little errors of misbehaving and talking in the background.
Our second take of our prelim task we made improvements to our video with the feedback received from our Media teacher.
