Preliminary task Analysis

For our preliminary task we had a set short story board that were giving to us. We had to use this short story board to create a short scene that had all the objectives that were set. When we got gave the story board we then wet straight out to start filming. We found a empty room with a door and began to think of ideas. Once we thought of ideas we then started to film. Firstly I made sure that I never crossed the 180 Degree rule while filming. The 180 degree rule applies when filming a conversation piece.

This is a picture of the 180 degree rule that shows that the camera show only stay on one side of the people talking in a conversation. By crossing the 180 degrees the characters would have appeared to have switched places. I was the cameraman and made sure that the 180 degree rule was not crossed.
Our first shot was done to look like a steadi cam had been used, but it had not. In this shot Tom (The Main Character) walked through the door which was followed by a shot of his coming through the door on the inside of the room. This is continuity editing. This is then followed by the conversation between Tom and Sarah,which leads to Tom running out of out of the room.
In the editing stage there was not much editing to do. We had to make the clips shorter to make it look like a real time conversation. We also needed to overlap the sound of Tom laughing over the shot of Sarah looking angry. This was done but cutting a sound piece from a sound of Tom laughing then placing it over the shot of Sarah.

Due to the time difficulty that we had the task was only short, if we had more time we could have made the scene longer and more advanced. I think that the 180 degree rule was used properly and effectively to keep the continuity in the scene. 

This is the video for our preliminary task.
