In the progression from the preliminary task to the full product, the document discusses several techniques learned: 1) The 180 degree rule, which ensures the audience doesn't get characters mixed up by only showing 180 degrees of where the camera can go. 2) Match on action, which cuts from someone looking at something to what they are looking at. 3) Shot reverse shot, which usually takes place in a conversation by going back and forth between two people speaking. 4) Planning shots in advance to save time filming and editing by writing down what shots are needed and their duration.

1. Looking back at your preliminary task, what
do you feel you have learnt in the progression
from it to the full product?

3. 180 degree rule:
The 180 degree rule is extremely important and basic in
media. This rule is to make sure the audience doesn’t get the
characters mixed up, so the audience only sees 180 degrees of
where the camera can go. From learning this at the start of
year 12 I feel I used this rule from the preliminary task until
the end of the thriller opening sequence.

4. Match on action:
This is an example of where we used match on action in
the preliminary task. This shot is where some one is
looking as something and then it cuts to what they are
looking at.

5. Shot reverse shot:
This is also an over the
shoulder shot
Shot reverse shot usually takes place in a
conversation. This is straight forward, going
from one person to the other then back to the
person again as they both speak.

6. Planning our shots:
Planning shots are important as if you do not know
what you are filming this could become time
consuming so writing down previously what shot is
going to be filmed and for how long not only saves
time whilst filming but also in editing when you
refer to how long you wanted each shot on the
screen.
