Final Preliminary Task



Here is my final preliminary task. I worked in a group of 3 other girls - Gabriella, Kate and Ellie. We all contributed our ideas and formed one plan, a script and a storyboard before we filmed our final preliminary task. In the task we were being tested on continuity, match-on action and the 180 degree rule. We found things difficult such as opening doors and entering rooms and making it seem continous but we overcame this by taking a few shots, choosing the best one and editing. We used the programme "Final Cut Pro" to edit it together and to also add on a film title at the beginning.

Preliminary Task

I worked in a group of 4 people and we assigned different roles to each person, however, we all worked together in working on the plan - the script and the camera shots. Here is my final plan and script for my actual preliminary task:

Shot Reverse Shot



This is a very simple example of shot-reverse-shot that I found on youtube. It is when one character is looking at another character and you can see the back of one character looking back at the other character and therefore assume they are talking to eachother. It is one of many examples of continuity editing.
