Question 7

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.
