Preliminary Task Evaluation

What was the purpose of the preliminary task?

The purpose of the preliminary task was to show a variety of camera angles including match-on-match action, 180 degree rule and eye-line match in our films. It also helped us understand the basics of these camera angles and how to use them effectively along with continuous and smooth editing. In order to make the film look professional we had to use these camera shots effectively.

What difficulties did you face?

We faced a few difficulties while we were shooting the film; for example, there was quite a lot of background noise which we had to remove while we were editing the film. In addition, we also had problems with lighting as we couldn't get the highest quality lighting to make the film look as professional as we possibly could.

How did you plan out the shots?

We discussed in a group how we wanted the camera shots to be done and how we wanted then to be implemented in our film. We also took several camera shots multiple times to make them as good as possible. This ensured that we corrected any mistakes that were made in previous camera shots.

What did you learn about continuity editing?

We learnt that all of the shots had to smoothly flow so it was suitable in a chronological sequence. In addition, we had to make sure the audience didn't think it was not thought through when it was edited.

What did you learn about the demands of filming a sequence?

To effectively plan a film sequence, we had to draw a storyboard of all of the different parts of the scene. This made sure we made no mistakes while we were filming our preliminary task.
