reflection on 1st p task

1. Reflection on 1st version of P Task
The task was to create a short clip including;
• 180 degree rule
• Match on action
• Shot reverse shot
• Conversation and walking into a room and sitting down
• Parallel editing
• Graphic match
• Consideration of framing – range of shot types
• Range of angles
• Consideration of lighting
• Tracking/panning – movement
•Consideration of mise en scene – costumes, gestures, expressions, setting
• Enigma codes and action codes
We used a powerpoint slide to plan it which included the setting, the
motivation of the meeting, the dialogue and the costumes. However, the
issue was that it was not very well thought through, making our plan not
very effective.
We had 3 members in our group, me Amad and Harley. Harley was in
charge of the camera work and edited his own piece. We all took part in
the directing and me and Amad edited our own piece together. As I was
new to editing Amad guided me through it.
On the day of the shoot we encountered quite a few problems such as
being unorganized due to our lack of planning beforehand. This could be
seen in our clip. We have learnt a lot about the importance of planning well
post production and how essential it is.
Overall we feel this P Task was not to the best level of our individual

2. abilities and did not meet the brief. There were some blatant errors in the
video clip. We came to the conclusion of re-doing our P Task with a better
and improved version where we will think things through thoroughly and
organize ourselves better, therefore making this only our first version of
our P Task.
