For our preliminary task we were asked to create a short video. We had to include 3 main shots: Match on action which is when an action is continuous throughout 2 or more shots. Also shot reverse shot which is usually a conversation between 2 characters. Finally including the 180 degree rule which if not used can seem disorientating to the audience if not followed.
The problems we faced were trying to make the filming flow as we used a variety of shot techniques which could seem quite jumpy. Also when filming as though climbing up a wall it was hard to make it seem realistic.
We used shots such as: long shots, over the shoulder shots, medium close ups. Then camera movements of tilting upwards, zooming and panning. We used a mixture of tripod and hand held to give us more of an opportunity for camera freedom. We used our shot reverse shot when 2 characters were in conversation. We attempted match on action shot when climbing up the wall and peering over it. And we stuck to the 180 degree rule.
This task will help us with our coursework as we have experimented with these techniques and have an idea of how they will all work. We also had the opportunity of us getting used to using editing and final cut with audio and sequencing.
