Preliminary Task Evaluation

During the planning stage of our Preliminary Task we wrote a short but detailed script that showed exactly what we wanted to be said and acted by the characters in the scene, scouted locations around the school before deciding on the one we wanted to use and researched the three camera techniques that we needed to use in order to pass the requirements for the Preliminary Task. All of this research and planning is shown in the posts below. This planning allowed us to go into the preliminary task almost fully prepared and gave us a large amount of insight into how our eventual product is going to need to be planned.

During the production stage we made sure to include the three key camera techniques detailed in the brief. The rest of the shots were improvised in order to create an interesting piece that showed off our currently possessed skills. For the Match on Action we made sure to take lots of clips of certain things, like Character 1 opening the door, so that we would be able to show different angles on a singular subject matter and follow the actions that the character is taking.We used a 180 degree angle for most of the scene in order to show how the two characters are facing each-other. Finally we used shot reverse shot during the dialogue in order to not focus on one subject for two long which may bore the viewer.  

The editing stage was rather simple as we already had experience with the software we used (Adobe Premiere Pro). However, we did find that whilst editing we could have used some extra shots that had not been taken; so during our final product we need to film extra shots that may be included, just so they are available to us.
