Preliminary Task

We had to make a preliminary task, inwhich we had to film someone walking through a door, walking to a table, sitting down opposite another person, and having a conversation with them.

We created a small storyboard before filming this piece. We had to make sure we included certain things, which were:

• Shot reverse shot - which shows that two characters are talking to eachother within a sequence or film as we can tell they are facing different ways so assume they are communicating with each other and we pick up a conversational tone. 
• 180 degree rule - which is a filming guideline which makes sure that each shot has the same left to right relationship as all others. 
• Match on action - Which helps to portray the continuity of the film and also helps to cut down the length of the film by removing any unnecessary parts. 

Doing this task has gave me confidence when filming as i had previously had no experience, i feel when it comes to filming our teen angst film i would still like to improve on this and attempt more advanced shots such as tracking and panning and i also plan on using more angles such as low angles to emphasize the power that a character has more power than another etc.I also learnt about Match on action and the 180 degree rule which I feel can help me in all future filming.
