The filmmakers accomplished their goals of achieving a 180 degree rule, match on action, and shot reverse shot in their preliminary film. While using the camera was initially tricky and some shots had to be retaken due to memory issues, the filmmakers were pleased with how the prelim task went overall. The prelim task provided an opportunity for the filmmakers to learn camera and tripod usage as well as be creative in developing narrative and exploring new camera angles.

2. What Went Well
Overall I am pleased with how the Prelim
task went as we accomplished the original
rules set, which were to achieve a 180
degree rule, match on action and a shot
reverse shot. All of these were achieved
within our prelim as we carefully planned
what was to happen within the opening
and carefully planned how and when we
would do it.

4. What Could Have Gone
Better
Using the camera at first was tricky and
this resulted in us wasting time in attempts
to work it. Eventually we resolved this
problem. Also some shots had to be
retaken in absence of space on the
cameras memory. Not only this but we had
difficulty as well establishing each shot and
had to go back to re film our Match on
Action.

5. Conclusion
The Prelim task was a great task for us to
get a idea of how to use the camera and
Tripod, not only this but it allowed to be
creative and use our imaginations and our
initiatives to come up with different ways of
creating narrative and also certain camera
angles that I did not know of before.
