Preliminary Task

Preliminary Task!

 

Our aims for the preliminary task was to portray different aspects of film making. This included: Match on action, 180 degree rule and a variation of camera angles. Our objective was to create a simple scene, where someone walked into a room and has a conversation with someone else, while displaying all the different aspects of film making. However, our group went against the convention and we made a clip that contained all of the different aspects but wasn't exactly our objective.

In our preliminary, to begin with, we had Max walk though a door, which met our first objective of match on action as he held the door handle. From there we used a variation of camera shots to show him walking, which included another match on action of him walking through a puddle and a panning shot of him walking away into the distance. From there we used more camera shots to show him walking through two more sets of doors. Finally, we used an over the shoulder shot of him walking towards me and another variation of shots to show him handing me his phone.

Overall, i think we met our objectives of using different shot types as well as match on action and keeping within the180 degree rule. However, we should have included some dialogue and we should have also used a camera stand to keep the camera steady and look more professional.
