Preliminary Task

The Task

The task we were given was to film and edit a piece of footage of someone approaching and opening a door and then having a small conversation with someone. We had to demonstrate that we understood how to use different shot and editing types. Shots and editing techniques which had to be include in our preliminary task were:

• The 180 degree rule 
• Shot Reverse Shot
• Continuity
• Match on Action

What Went Well

Overall our task was successful as we demonstrated and made use of all the rules which we had to use and shows that we know how to use them.

How to Improve

In order to improve my pieces of filming I do in the future, I need to make sure that i make the editing tighter so that it flows more fluently. I also need to make sure of what we include in the frame as one point of our film shows a fan in the center of the frame and distracts the viewers attention.
