Preliminary Task



The pre-lim task involved getting into a group, and then filming a little sequence following just 3 rules; Obey the 180 Degree rule, Make sure to Film a 'shot-reverse-shot' Shot, and to retain continuity in the film.
We managed to keep to all of these rules, the narrative of the film overall wasn't anything major just simple conversation, but the only parts that were going to be accounted for were the rules.




1. What did you do well in, in your Prelim task?

We used  problem solving skills to work around our problems with the video editing, as for some reason the all the good shots we wanted to use had disappeared. So we used our resources well to make do with what we did have on the tape. Also the acting skills were obviously awesome ; actors Moi and Connie Brunskill.

2. What have you learnt from the Prelim.

To check over work, and make sure things are properly saved to a tape or disk. Also that camera's aren't always reliable. We have also learnt the basics and the advanced parts of editing e.g transitions and cutting.

3.Targets for Main Task: Areas for improvement, what could you do better next time?
  • Work on continuity
  • Prepare scripts before-hand
  • Learn more about the camera functions
