Preliminary Task Evaluation

We was asked to film and edit a character walking to a door and opening the door, sitting down opposite another character, then the two characters will exchange a couple of lines of dialogue. This task will have match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180- degree rule. 

 As a group three we done a storyboard of our initial ideas. we had a 12 shot challenge so we could only use twelve storyboards to show ideas. Then we had to find the locations we was going to use in our short clip. This was our location planning we took pictures and wrote a couple of lines about how this location would be suitable for what we needed to film. Then we had to find two actors to use in our clip. Then we had to post a picture of them a short description why the would be suitable to use in our clip.

 We started of be organising a time where we all free to film the clip. Then when we started to film their wasn't no major problems, however we couldn't use the first room we planned to use as there was a lesson taking place in the room. The rest of the filming ran smoothly and got it done in the time we planned to do.

When editing the film i applied everything i learnt in previous lessons, for example i learnt how to cut  out parts of film that was not needed I imported all the clips I had recorded into premier pro then I trimmed all the clips to the sections that were needed. I scaled my whole work area to scale to frame size. I added music onto the clip which ended just as the speaking was going to start.

Our prelmimarny task went ok, a few issues occurred with the sound and we had to change the rooms we filmed in so better planning could have saved time. what went well was how we used each camera angle effectively also the shot reverse shot went well and the 180 degree rule. The weaknesses was that the match on action didn't look as good after the door was opened as it was completely closed in the next shot. An area of development would be making sure the match on action is perfect in the main task and speak louder and clearer.
