Preliminary Task
This is a task that we were set as a continuity task. We were put into groups of 3-4 and we had to film a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom they exchange a few lines of dialogue. We had to film and edit our short clip and we had to demonstrate that we understood match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.
I was working in a group with Carys and Haydn Kidd and we decided to do a mysterious detective-like video. It included a female character, who was played by myself, exiting a lift and going through a door. It isn't until the male character, who was played by Haydn, was in shot that we saw the female character's face, which created a sense of mystery.
This is what we produced:
As you can see, we broke the 180-degree rule during the conversation that is happening between the two characters.
The three things that I wish to improve on are:
- Not breaking the 180-degree rule.
- More shots used in filming as there were only a few used in this task.
- Allow more time for editing and sound as the majority of our time was spent on filming.
