Evaluation – Question 7 Looking back at the preliminary task, what do you feel you have

learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Things you learnt in the

preliminary taskShot reverse shot – in this we learnt to cut between two or more

people in a conversation, for example going from one person

talking and then to the other person who is then speaking back to the first person

Match on action – in this the camera’s perspective changes

during a scene and the scene continues to flow

180 degree rule – in this we learnt to show the location of where

the film was being set without showing any of the camera or

technical equipment.

How did these help with your

main production?The shot reverse shot helped us change between people in a conversation and the audience wouldn’t miss any part of the dialogue from either of the people involved.

The match on action helped us with our main production because we could then make sure that our film clip would flow with the camera’s perspective changing.

The 180 degree rule helped us make sure that we were able to show where our film was located but without showing any of the technical equipment.

What was easy/hard during the

preliminary task and how did these help

your film opening?The hardest thing in the preliminary task was the

match on action, making sure that when the door

was being opened and closed it was by the same

hand each time, and the chair was pulled out with

the same hand. The easiest thing would be the shot

reverse shot as it only took a few shots of each person

talking and then editing them together was easy.

These helped with our film opening because it was

easier the second time around as it wouldn’t matter if

we made mistakes because we knew how to fix them

Research and planning section

We had more of an understanding of all

the shots we could use and how to use

them to the best of our ability.

These we our first two ideas for

the main 2 minute film

opening as a group

Construction section

We found it easier to shoot as we were

in a group with people that we got on

with and we all helped each other, and

we split the editing up between us so

that we would all have a chance at

doing little bits

These are print screens of parts of our storyboard for

the 2 minute film opening

Evaluation section

In this section it was more evaluation

compared to the preliminary task but

we found it easier to write about the

things that we had done.
