3. What was the task?
• The task was to match the action of someone
walking into a room, sitting down at a table
and engaging in a conversation, using shot
reverse shot action.
4. Skills learned
• How to use a camera
• How to get the eye line match correctly
• Framing a shot
• Using the 180 degree’s rule
5. Overall thoughts
Overall, I was very pleased with my preliminary
task because I was able to edit the piece
together so hardly any mistakes were made.
There were some areas of improvement. The
match on match action could be changed at the
door scene to make it look smoother when my
partner was walking through the door.
6. Difficulties that could be
overcome
• Glass windows – showed refection's of our
bodies when we weren’t in shot
• Match on match action was difficult to get
right
• Difficult to edit the walking scene, it didn't’t
flow to the best of my ability
8. What was the task?
• The task was to create the titles and opening
of a new fiction film to last a maximum of 2
minutes.
9. Overall thoughts
All together I thought my final piece was much
better than my preliminary task because I was
able to use my skills that I had gained from the
task and place it into the final cut. To edit the
scene together I used “Final cut pro” which gave
it a more precise cut when editing the scenes
together. I used all the skills I had learned in the
preliminary task to create an opening scene that
relates to my intended audience.
11. Skills learned
• How to use a boom mic
• Using a cannon XA25 camera – different settings,
recording on MP4 to get a better quality film
• How a time line has different layers to add music
and text over the scenes
• Using dissolves
• Colour matching scenes
12. What can be improved?
• There still was a few costume continuous
errors – mainly with the costumes of the
experiment
• Rather than filming the scene in two days I’d
try and focus more on trying to film on the
same day so the lighting in the shot can cause
limited problems.
• Focus more on the last shot – It was slightly
wonky
