The document discusses techniques used in filming a preliminary project. It describes using a single continuous shot by lowering the camera under a table to show a character looking at their phone and their reaction, rather than separate shots, to give a smoother movement. It also discusses matching actions between shots, such as opening a door and moving inside, to create a smooth transition. The second shot in the opening sequence shows the character's path around the house and captures details about their lifestyle by including a large pile of dirty dishes.

1. In the preliminary my use of shot reverse shot showed the character looking at the
phone and his reaction to it. We had done this by taking 3 separate shots and then
putting them in order showing the cuts in between each shot. When then repeating the
shot reverse shot process for our opening sequence I thought of a way to show this as
one whole shot and in much smoother movement.I did this by just lowering the camera
under the table and then back up again to show the character. What this also did was
give shock to the audience when they see the dark figure in the background of the shot.
The action match within the preliminary project was very smooth and consistent for
my first time trying to use this aspect with a camera. I did this by taking a shot outside
and cutting it as the character began to open the door; I then moved inside the
classroom and connected that movement to the next shot. I could not think of a way to
improve this movement so I thought about creating more challenging shots, as the
preliminary ones were very dull and average. The second shot within the kitchen of my
opening sequence does not only allow the audience to see the action match and his
path around the house but also captures the large pile of dirty plates and cutlery that
has been left and tells the audience as the lifestyle of Billy does not allow time to clean
but only to work.
