preliminary task evaluation

The video does have continuous editing through out so the viewer doesn't feel lost or confused about what is happening in each scene, I have eliminated any confusion by using various transitions between each scene along with non-diegetic music to emphasise the change of mood. Yes I have followed the directions in the brief, understandably there were some minor adjustments but none to significant that would effect the spine of the brief in the video. I used match-on-action in two scenes when the actor turns the light switch on and then the room he is in is light up, in the next scene the room remains light up. A match-on-action involves an action performed by an actor in one scene that is mirrored in the next shot. I have used shot reverse shot when the two actors finally catch sight of each other and the camera looks at actor B from actor A's perspective and the same shot happens from actor B's perspective. Shot reverse shot is when one character is shown looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. I did no utilise the 180 degree role in my film but I can describe it as a shot which shows a relationship between two characters from side on with both of the characters in the scene, the rule of it is that the shot is not taken from the other side of the two characters being filmed so if you imagine the characters are in a circle then the camera can only film from one half of the circle hence the name 180 degree rule. Also the 180 degree rule is there to ensure there is no confusion on which person is saying what because if the camera abused the 180 degree rule then the people speaking would switch places ad the viewers could get lost with who is saying what. In the preliminary my role was director along with editor but I shared the editing role with barney flood. I would assess my contribution to the group as above satisfactory as I played to and was successful in getting all of the shots needed for the end product without fail, I also contributed well with barney flood to make sure that every scene gelled and had a consistent genre of thriller. What I have learned from making the preliminary is that all of the planning before actually filming each scene plays a big part because while I was setting up for each scene I would refer back to my plans to make sure we got it right and without the plan I would have been clueless as to what scene to do next. If you put the effort in at the start then it pays off in the long run.
