This document provides guidance for Assignment 12, which involves filming a preliminary task of one person entering a room and having a conversation with another person. The film must include match on action, two shots, an over the shoulder shot, a reverse shot, and follow the 180 degree rule while maintaining continuity. Examples of a successful and unsuccessful task are discussed. The successful task executed the shots and cuts well while following requirements, though could improve on the 180 degree rule. The unsuccessful task had noticeable cuts and shots that were too high and did not show the surroundings as required. The document stresses concentrating on the technical requirements over acting and making cuts more fluid.

1. Assignment 12: Preliminary
Research Task
By Joanne

2. Preliminary Task
• A preliminary task is the filming of 1 person
walking into a room and holding a
conversation with another.
• The film must consist of...
-match on action
-2 shots
-over shoulder shot
-reverse shot
-follow 180 degree rule
-be conscious of continuity

3. What are the shots?...
Mmatch
Reverse shot 180 degree
on action
rule
Taken over the
Two way shot
Normally a cut Its like an Shoulder of a
Establishing Character to show
In showing the
What they see or
Same thing or Shot Another in a
Person in a
conversation
Different shot

4. Successful Example
• 'RAGE' - AS Media preliminary task
Match action was done really well
In the consistence
Two shots and
Over the shoulder
was exsiccated great.
The cuts where fluid
Also over the shoulder is used

5. Successful Example
Reverse shot should have been done
better
This can also be seen as the
180 degree rule
I would give this task an B, Its really good and covers
The requirements but had room for potential in 180 degree
And match on action

6. Unsuccessful Example
Match on action was done well in this example but the cut
Is very noticeable its not fluid
This is an attempt of an over the shoulder
Shot but its two high up and almost cuts off
The other actor

7. Unsuccessful Example
This was meant to be a reverse but is far to high
And you cant see the surroundings
I would give it a E, there are a lot of improvements
To be made and there are not many good comments
To make on it. They need to concentrate on more of the
requirements and less on the comedy

8. What I’ve learnt
• Concentrate more on the requirements and
less more on the acting (but add good a
acting).
• Try and make the cuts more fluid and
consistent
