Preliminary Task

Preliminary Task

This preliminary task is a demonstration of continuity editing, it shoes that i can use: Match on action, shot/reverse shot, 180 degree rule, eye-line match.

When i was filming the preliminary task, i was working with Jack Fraser, James Casal and Danny Canary.

In the film Jack Fraser was playing a police officer who is interrogating a murderer Daniel L Bridge.

Danny Canary is the murderer, in the play his name is Daniel L Bridge.

James Casal was the camera guy recording the whole action, 

and I was the sound guy, making sure the sound is clear, making sure the mic isn't coming in the picture. 

While recording our eye line match match was Daniel L Bridge looking at the clock, this was basically a shot of Daniel's eyes then taking a shot of the clock on the wall. 

Also, we did the shot reverse, this was when the officer and Daniel were talking to each other.

The next shot we had in our video was the match on action, this was when James took a shot of the officer walking in the corridor, then a shot of him from inside the room walking through the door. 

Evaluation 
When doing my filming for my preliminary task, we did use each technique accurately. Also, while filming we didn't make any mistakes, the only thing we need to improve on is how fast we work, we should of finished the filming in one day. The most positive element we have done in this film is the match on action shot when jack is walking through the door, i think it was recorded well. The only improvements we need are just to work quicker and much more faster. The best shot we have had while filming the preliminary task was the match on action, we think this was the best because the shot was very accurate and precise. The shot we need to work on is the reverse shot, when Jack and Danny were talking to each other, this is because they kept laughing and we had to keep filming the shot over and over again.
