Preliminary Task
In lesson we were set a Preliminary Task; my role was to help count in the actor and help with the editing. The criteria set included; a shot reverse shot, 180 degree rule, match on action and good continuity.
We used a shot reverse shot when showing the speech between our actors, we also used an over the shoulder shot to show the response of the other actor; this showed the shot reverse shot well. We also filmed following the 180 degree rule: this meant our camera was on one side of the actors at all times; to help us use this rule we put the table up against the wall. We then showed match on action twice in our clip; firstly we showed the actor opening the door; the camera then changed to a close up of the hand on the handle. Secondly we showed a close up of the handshake between the two actors. We also including an wide shot in our clip to show our actor walking into the room- this helped with the continuity of our clip. In the editing we tried to make our clip flow as much as possible to show good continuity, this was successful as their were no jump cuts being used. However we could improve on the continuity by showing the action of our actor at all times. |
