G321 preliminary task evaluation ac
The student was asked to film a scene following continuity rules for a preliminary task. They filmed someone walking into a room and having a conversation, making sure to follow the 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot rule, and match on action rule. Filming went well but editing was harder to ensure each shot fit perfectly. Some challenges included background noise during filming and initially losing footage during editing. The task provided ideas for the student's 2-minute film opening, such as taking multiple shots of scenes and keeping the opening simple for easier editing.
Analysis of preliminary task
This document discusses three editing techniques:
1) Match on action, which cuts between shots to portray continuous action. The author learned this helps audiences follow scenes clearly.
2) The 180 degree rule, which maintains relationships between subjects during conversations. The author learned this engages audiences and clarifies who is speaking. However, an overview shot was shaky.
3) Shot reverse shot, which cuts between characters in a conversation. The author learned this engages audiences and shows relationships and conversations in depth, helping audiences follow who is in the scene. Using this technique will help film conversations clearly.
Three camera shots
The document discusses three camera techniques - shot reverse shot, the 180 degree rule, and match on action. It explains that shot reverse shot uses two shots from opposite sides of an argument to make a conversation feel more dynamic. The 180 degree rule ensures consistency by keeping the camera angles on the same side of the subjects. Match on action matches the same action, like walking into a room, from different camera angles to maintain fluidity for the viewer.
Continuity task
The document describes a student video project demonstrating rules of continuity including the 180-degree rule, match on action, and shot reverse shot. The video shows a character (Marcus Groome) having a conversation with another character (Charlie Sly). Multiple attempts were needed to film due to issues with actors and locations. iMovie was used to edit the video together while following the continuity rules.
Evaluation activity 7
1) The document discusses lessons learned from creating a preliminary film task, including properly following the 180-degree rule when filming characters moving between shots, using match cuts to smoothly transition between shots of the same action, and executing shot/reverse shot patterns correctly.
2) It notes that the preliminary task broke the 180-degree rule when filming a character walking through a door with camera angles too far apart, and that shot/reverse shot was imperfect because the first and third shots did not match.
3) Carefully filming clocks was also a lesson, as the time displayed changed unrealistically between shots in the preliminary sequence.
Location Recce 4
This document summarizes the location for a project shoot at a house in South Parade, Hartlepool. The location provides sufficient lighting, space, and amenities. It has power sources, access to catering and toilets in the house. The shoot will minimize disruption by completing it quickly. The crew will work in front of characters to frame shots, while the cast acts in front of the camera. Permission is granted by the homeowner to use the location.
Analysis of preliminary task
This document discusses three editing techniques - match on action, 180 degree rule, and shot reverse shot. For match on action, the author learned that clearly portraying the action makes it easier for the audience to follow the scene. For the 180 degree rule, the author learned how it maintains audience engagement during conversations by clarifying who is speaking. Shot reverse shot allows depicting conversations and relationships in depth by quick cut edits that add tension. The author will apply these techniques in their thriller opening sequence to make it more engaging for viewers.
Progression from the preliminary task
The document discusses how a preliminary task helped the author and others learn and practice various filmmaking techniques like shot reverse shot, match on action, and the 180 degree rule. They were able to apply these techniques in their final film opening. Through trial and error in the preliminary task, they gained confidence in including these shots and rules. They also learned additional techniques like overlapping scenes and using sound/music while editing which helped progress their skills for the final product. The preliminary task was beneficial for practicing basics like camera angles and helped prepare them to apply these skills to their own thriller film.

The document discusses the progression from the author's preliminary editing task to their full film opening project. In the preliminary task, they learned camera techniques like 180 degree shots, shot reverse shots, and match on action shots. For the film opening, they used 180 degree and match on action shots but had fewer types of shots than in the preliminary. They felt rushed during filming which limited the variety of shots they could include. Going forward, they would spend more time planning shots and angles to make the film opening more diverse and interesting.
Question 7 2.0
We learned several film techniques from creating our preliminary short film that we then applied to our full thriller opening project. Specifically, we learned how to properly implement match on action, the 180-degree rule for shots, and shot/reverse shot editing. For our opening, we carefully applied match on action during a character's movement, used the 180-degree rule for establishing shots, and did shot/reverse shot editing for a conversation. We also learned editing skills like trimming clips and adding transitions using iMovie, which we then utilized more advanced for our opening's fast-paced scenes and layered sound effects. Comparing our preliminary task to the final opening shows clear improvement and how much we progressed in applying what we learned.

The assignment required students to create a 2-minute film following three rules: the 180-degree rule, shot/reverse shot, and matching actions. The students chose to film a conversation between two characters leaving their house and getting in a car. They storyboarded and practiced their shots. Filming took place outside their location but was challenging due to limited space and passing traffic. Editing the footage together proved difficult due to incompatible file formats between the camera and software. Lessons were learned about choosing the right camera and file formats.

Preliminary task
- 2. The Task 0 The task itself was to create a continuous short film between 1-2 with three different rules that we have to include and stick by. The main aim of this task is to capture footage including two people conversing with a shot reverse shot linking their conversation. As well as this we had to incorporate an match on action shot involving a door being opened and that person walking across the room.
- 3. The 3 Rules 0 The three rules we had to involve were keeping the 180 degree rule. 0 Using shot reverse shots for the main conversation between the two people. 0 A match on action shot involving opening a door.
- 4. What Are They 0 The 180 degree rule means that whenever we shot our conversation we had the keep the camera around a 180 degree guideline, so we could not film where we wanted it had to be in a certain zone. 0 A shot reverse shot involves filming somebody speaking/looking at something and then the shot cuts to whoever or whatever he is looking at and shows us their view, in a way it is a back and forth shot showing what somebody is looking at/who they are talking to. 0 A match on action shot is a shot that shows an action about to occur and then cutting to this action actually happen, sometimes from a different angle. We had to use this rule however incorporating a door, our shot involved our actor walking up to a door, putting his hand on the handle and then cutting to behind the door and it shows the audience the actor actually coming through the door.
- 7. MATCH ON ACTION SHOT
- 8. TV Examples Shot, revers shot
- 9. TV Examples 180 degree rule
- 10. TV Examples Match on action
- 11. Our Ideas We wanted to do something more creative than usual, however we could not think of anything to do with the match on action shot, so we stuck with the basic door opening shot. We pitched a few ideas of having a basic conversation in different scenarios and involving different amounts of people. We attempted to do a simple office conversation however for how long we wanted their was too much dialogue and editing involved and we were still not happy with the final piece. However the office idea benefited in a way that from where we were filming it was impossible to break the 180 degree due to objects in the way.
- 12. How we used each shot 0 The 180 degree rule was very simple to use as the setting already created a border for us to go along. 0 The match on action shot, we stuck with the basic opening a door scene as we could not think of anything else that fitted in with our scenario however after we finished we then thought of better ideas which we might incorporate on our next piece. 0 The shot reverse shot was used within our conversing as it also showed the height difference of height which we wanted to include as it showed the camera angle being shot within the eye of the other peer.
- 13. Our setting 0 We ended up shooting in the school toilets as it is very uncommon however can be portrayed as a casual conversation area, it can be viewed as peculiar and strange to talk to somebody else in the toilets. The problems with this setting was the water pipe noises as well as the echo in the room, if we shot this again we would include Foley to produce a clearer dialogue.
