Premilary Task

Preliminary Exercise:
On Thursday last week we completed our preliminary task:
A continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in the chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. Demonstrate match on actions, shot/reserves shot and the 180-degree rule.
Technically, what is the 180 degree rule in the context of this task?
The 180° rule is when two characters in a scene should maintain the same left/right relationship to one another.When the camera passes over the invisible axis connecting the two subjects, it is called crossing the line and the shot becomes what is called a revers
 
What is match-on-action?
Cutting on action or matching on action refers to film editing and video editing techniques where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that matches the first shot's action. A common example is a man walking up to a door and reaching for the knob.
What is shot/reverse shot?
Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character.
How did it go?
The overall thing went well considering it was our first time recording a short film with the equipment we were given to complete the task, we managed are time well in order to get the film recorded and edited to hand in for the task deadline.

What would you change/do better if you had the chance to do the task again?
Save time on the editing time of things however it was our first time using the program we were given to edit our footage but we did take along time to get used to it. Another thing would be finding a more spacious room because at certain times we couldn't all fit in the room due to the camera angle.

PRELIMINARY TASK

Based on your first draft what did you learn during your preliminary task that you want to avoid /implement/develop upon in your actual coursework? Avoid -  Things that I learnt from the preliminary task that I want to avoid is background noise, to make sure the camera has a good balance and is stable and have a variety of camera shots and angles. Background noise in the preliminary task was very awkward because of people talking in the background therefore in the coursework I would like to avoid this by making the location we chose quite and preventing any background noise so the weather would have to be appropriate to do this. Camera balance is something I have tried to improve since the preliminary task to do this I have used a variety of equipment to keep it balanced as I found the camera shaked a lot, therefore when it comes to filming I want to avoid this to get the best product I can. A bad variety of camera shots and angles needs to be avoided because I belie...

Marylin

My week with Marilyn During a double media lesson we watch 'My week with Marilyn'. I personally thought the movie was interesting to watch and find out more about the way Marilyn acted when on and off set. The film was set around Colin Clark and his first movie job. He was the third assistant director and had to look after Marilyn during the later parts of the movie when she was arriving late to shoot the certain scenes. During the time they spent together Marilyn and Colin both realised they like each other. They went on a date together where the two of them kissed. During this time Marilyn was married but she realised and had found out her husband didn't love her. One night Marilyn asked for Colin to come over and look after her as she was feeling ill. They slept together and in the middle of the night Colin was awoken by a screaming Marilyn. At this point Marilyn asked for a doctor and claimed she was pregnant. After this point Marilyn and Colin didn't see each ot...
