Edited preliminary task and evaluation

When we finally edited our preliminary task there was some good points and bad points about it. The good points include that it had a continuous flow and included the 180 degree rule the piece was very creative which hopefully helped to engage the viewers but then we realised the aim of the task was not to be creative but to work on camera shots and editing so we had experience for the final piece. I had to refilm the preliminary four times due to technical difficulties with the camera and tape and due to not getting the right shots for there to be a continuous flow this seemed to be very time consuming which meant as we refilmed it each time we didnt get the preliminary to reach its full potential which seemed to have lacked our potential and positive attitudes. Our group was focusing too much on the creativity side of the plot and not enough on the technical aspects. If we were to do this again i would ensure that we would focus less on creativity and more on the technical sides of camera angles etc. It also made me realise that from this experience me and my group members should listen to each other more efficiently so in the future we are able to bring our ideas together in order to be a success. I guess you learn from your mistakes.

Preliminary planning!


Before we went straight into filming our two minute film opening we had a practice run through, this was our preliminary task in which we had to have a 30 second piece of somebody walking through the door and then having a conversation with an0ther person using shots such as over the shoulder shots while applying the 180 degree rule with it.
We created a story board which entailed these shots in order to get the best marks possible, it was a bit difficult to plan as we could not think of an idea to follow it by.
