Preliminary task

Preliminary task

Our first task we had to do was the preliminary task. This was a continuity task which tested our ability to apply three basic rules of film making;

• Match on Action
• Shot/Reverse Shot
• 180-degree Rule

The details of the task were that we had to include; 

•          A character opening a door, crossing a room
•          Sitting down in a chair opposite another character
•          The two characters exchange a couple of lines of dialogue

The purpose of this task was; 

·         You need to demonstrate an understanding of continuity editing

·         In Post Production you will edit together everything you film into an order that makes sense
