Preliminary Task
Research and Planning
We have jut finished our preliminary task, however, before we began the task we had to complete some research and planning which ensured that it was the best we could do. We learnt various different camera shots before hand to make sure we knew what they were. We also, drew what all the different shots would show in our books to make it easier for us to perform the shots in the preliminary task. After looking at camera shots we conducted a short script which was to be used within the task. This was so were prepared for the task and didn't make it too hard for us when editing. We was then prepared but before we properly began we watched other peoples preliminary tasks from previous years to makes sure we were completely clear with what we have to do.
Camera Shots and Editing
We used a range of simple techniques for our preliminary task to ensure the continuity of the video. Shot reverse shot was used which is a technique which shows both of the characters when they are in a conversation. For this shot, we used an over the shoulder shot from both peoples point of view and in the editing we made it so it flicked from one persons shoulder, to the other persons and back again. We also used match on action for the editing, this is where filming cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. This was used when the actors were entering through the door. With all this in mind we had to remember the 180 degree rule as it is a basic guideline for on-screen relationship between a character and another character for example. This meant when doing the over the should shots we ha to make sure it was filmed from the same side on each character. This editing process was done on Movie Studio Platinum which was pretty basic to use so it allowed us to experiment with different editing techniques.
