The preliminary task involved filming six shots to create a continuity clip of a person walking through a door and having a conversation. The shots included a pan as they walked to the door, a close-up of their hand on the door, and over-the-shoulder shots during their conversation. The techniques covered were the 180 degree rule, match on action, and shot/reverse shot. Things that went well were the actors listening and not breaking character, and being able to easily edit the clips together. Areas for improvement included inconsistent background noise between shots and better matching actions during editing. The task gave the idea to do a horror genre opening using techniques like pans and shot/reverse shots to create tension.
