Evaluation

On the preliminary task I learned a variety of things.
I have learned how to shoot different camera angles correctly, using the correct distances is vital in making the shot look realistic. Putting the camera angles in the correct sequence was also important in making the sequence look good, before this task I never realized that it mattered so much but if its not in the right sequence then the clip looks wrong and it becomes confusing. In order to plan the sequence we used a storyboard. This helped a great deal in planning what the shots would look like and made the filming easier.

The 180 degree rule requires a lot more editing compared to the rest of the shots. You must edit it so it looks as if the characters are having a real conversation so there must be no pauses in dialogue and the conversation must flow. This resulted in a lot of work put into the slicing of the shots. We also had to make sure that we didn't 'cross the line' so the viewers perception didn't change so we avoided confusion.

This preliminary task has prepared me for children's film because I now have a better understanding for camera angles and editing, I realise how important flow is in the sequence. Storyboards are very important because they help with the planning. I also now know how to use the camera equipment and Final cut express to a better knowledge.

Evaluation

I learned that in order to produce a good video a good plan and storyboard is needed. also being organized is important. The 180 degree rule is hard to do as it requires a lot of editing to make it work and look good. match on action also requires a lot of editing and along time to organize the original shots to make them line up.

It has prepared me for the children's film project as i have learned how much work is required and planning is needed. this helps me as i can be ready to plan a lot and make a good video.

Video-preliminary

Storyboard

this is our storyboard for our preliminary task

A storyboard is used visually planning shots. In our case the storyboard will be used ofr planning our 6 shots in our preliminary task.

Continuity editing first task

We have been set a preliminary task to demonstrate the match on action, shot reverse shot and the 180 degree rule. Adam and Matt will be staring in the film, Andrew will be directing and Oli will be doing the filming. Firstly we will be doing an establishing shot followed by a close up shot then a match on action shot. This will be followed by a Reaction shot, then a long shot then finally a shot reverse shot.

We will be using Final Cut Express, to edit our film.

We will shoot this in the college, in the sports hall. We will be shooting tomorow and will be editing on Friday.
