In the preliminary task we practised filming techniques like the 180 degree rule and editing techniques such as Match on Action and Shot-Reverse-Shot
Shot/Reverse Shot is a media technique that conveys the sense of a conversation to the audience. The camera focuses on one member of the scene talking which allows for their expressions and persona to be shown while speaking, from the point of view of the conversational partner. The shot then reverses to the next member, once again allowing their personality and expressions to be shown in relation to the last line of speech. The 'Reverse Shot' also conveys the scene as a genuineconversation, facing and reacting to each other. We used Shot-Reverse Shot in our preliminary piece to create the sense of conversation between the characters, and to involve the audience in the conversation by using close up and direct shots, reversing with each new line.
The 180 Degree Rule
We also used the 180 degree rule which states that the camera should stay on the same side of an imaginary line so that two characters or elements in the scene will always have the same relationship to the camera. If the camera passes over the imaginary line then it becomes a reverse angle, giving a confused look to the scene.
The Match on Action
The timing has to be precise was quite difficult to achieve, otherwise the door would be opening twice. Match on SAction is used to connect to shots cut together by having a character finish an action in one shot and begin the other shot. For example the first shot would be a close up shot of the door handle, opening door followed by the second shot actor walking through door, mid shot - include embedded film.
Conclusion In conclusion I think we filmed and edited our preliminary task well. However, we believe that we could have done a better job performing the task by making the match on action flow more. We would do this by producing many moredifferent takes than we had done.
