Preliminary Task Analysis

Analysis

This task was based around the 180 degree rule, match on action and over the shoulders shots. While filming this we had many issues that came to us like sound. We found that the locations we picked weren't great for sound and our mic's wouldn't work properly. The room we had based our film in was poorly lit, with being on stage we had many vibrations through the floor, and our lines were not written well. In fact we had improvised most of them and just used a general idea of a story we quickly made up. Besides those issues our shots followed what task had asked us and we found that putting our shots together made the film work. Adding dramatic drums and music helped to get rid of the terrible background noise and made the film better. To improve on this, I would attempt to get a better audio recording device, find an area with better lighting and have some scrims to and reflectors to make the lighting much nicer. The script will taken into much more detail and I will make sure to rehearse the lines

Film Techniques

Film Techniques

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.

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.

180 Degree Rule
The 180° rule is a cinematography guideline that states that 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 reverse angle. Video Reference.
