Preliminary Task

In today's lesson i filmed the preliminary task with tom Sullivan and James Sullivan. For this task we had to think about continuity editing, and make sure the film flowed nicely and didn't look jolty or jumpy. We had to film someone walking into a classroom, sitting down, and then having a conversation. We had to use a range of camera angles and shot types in order to make our film unique and stand out. The editing that we had to do was had to mix and match between the range of shots, so that we had over the shoulder shots, high angle shots and shot reverse shots. Shot reveres shot it useful for conversations as we can see what one character is saying, and when it cuts to the other character, we can see what their reaction is. We also had to consider the match on action, so that at the part when i was drinking the juice, we cut it so that the juice was at the same point from one persepective, as when we changed it, it was at the same point, this was done so the clip was not jumpy or jolty, and so it always looked continuous. We had to consider the mise en scene, so that the audience could really see our location, and so that they would always be able to tell where abouts we were in the shot
