Preliminary task

For the Prelimary Task in small groups we had to show the 180 degree rule and a match on match shot. we chose to use a person walking into detantion room (match on match action here) and then sits down and has a conversation with another person which is where we show the 180 degree rule. We used a tri pod fro the whole of the filming to have smooth steady shots that arnt shaky.

The Brief.

The Preliminary task is a Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.
