Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you
have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
Our brief for the preliminary task was all about continuity.
This involved “filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room
and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom they
exchanged a few lines of dialogue”. The task had to demonstrate exhibit match
on action, 180-degree rule and shot/reverse shot.
This was quite different to our main two minute opening task
because with our main one we had to write, film and edit the opening of a new
fiction film that was a maximum of two minutes long and had to include titles.
When looking at the two tasks, there are definitely elements
of match on action, shot reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. Also because of
the preliminary exercise we were able to identify and use different methods
because of the many different aspects of filming we learned about before,
during and after the preliminary task.
I think we improved a lot since the preliminary task as we
have learned to make our match on action sequences smoother and used
shot/reverse shot slightly different than originally in the preliminary exercise,
which we noticed straight away.
