For the Preliminary task we were asked to make a short sequence which had to include the 180 degree rule, a shot reverse shot and a match on action shot. We prepared for this task by watching examples og how to do each of the shots correctly, then we went out and practised the shots so we could get to grips with how they are meant to be filmed. We also drew up a story board fo each shot, this helped us to plan what type of camera shot to use and how it would look most effective.
When in came to the filming, my role within the group was to film the whole thing. which meant getting the camera in just the right angle for each shot type so that nothing that wasnt supposed to be in it was. i also had to have a steady hand so that it wasnt shaking.
We used many types of shots when making our sequence including close ups because this gave the audience more insight into the characters because they can see there facial expression clearer.
we also used a long shot of Chloe as she walked through the door to sit down so that the audience could see the Mise en scene around her.
Another type of shot we used was the 180 degree rule which makes sure, during dialogue that people don't switch sides and doesn't confuse the audience.
Shot reverse shot we used to show that a character is looking at something.
Match on action we used and it is where the beginning of an action shot is shown then the end for example in ours when chloe walked through the door we saw it from behind, her pushing the door open then we cut to her infront of the door walking through it.
When framing we made sure that no one unnecessary was in the shot making silly faces or waving to the camera because that ruins the sqeuence so we made sure that when we filmed it we picked a place that was fairly quite with not that many people that would be in the background.
we positioned Chloe and Lizzie according to the camera shot for example in the shot reverse shot we made sure that it was only one of their faces on camera at a time otherwise the shot wouldnt have worked right.
After filming the sequence we had to edit it, i was very please with the final result because it flows nicely from shot to shot and we also added titles and credits for the end and we chose the font colour, style and transition which would look the best with what our task was about.
I think personally our group did well with the sequence because we had to re film because the footage we shot had gone worng on the tape so we had to go and re film it quickly, so i think we could have improved it by spending more time on it and each shot because it was a bit rushed. I think we could have made the match on action slightly better just to make it clearer to people what kind of shot it actually is. Chloe and Lizzie when they were acting were in the right position for the camera and it worked well. the shot types we used for the shot reverse shot were definately appropriate for the dialogue because it was just a conversation between two people about there friend.
I think as a group we worked very well together, we each had our own jobs to for fill for that certain task and everyone performed it to the best of there ability, but next time we create something we should change jobs so we can try everything out.
I Feel confident using the camera, i know how to get a good shot from the tripod, how to use the zoom to create an effective shot. whereas when it comes to using the imovie i don't feel as confident using it, but personally i think i need to practise more to get to grips with everything.
