The criteria for our Preliminary Task was to create a short sequence of clips demonstrating continuity editing. We must show match on action when we see someone start an action in one shot and continue it in the next shot or reverse shot. We must also obey the 180 degree rule. This is where two people in a shot always have the same left/ right relationship to each other.
We filmed a sequence of somebody walking down a corridor, opening a door, having a conversation with someone, walking back through the door and back along the corridor, whilst using the most effective and interesting camera techniques and angles possible. The task had to be as realistic as possible, meaning we had to take care in the camera angles we used, the continuity of the angles and the editing we did, and the length of the clips we used.
Whilst filming the video, we had to take special care in the angles we used, and had to edit them carefully so that the film looked realistic. Particular moments in the film, that we had to pay more attention too, were scenes that involved Shelby, (the main actress) walking through a door. We had to make sure that during the times she was walking through the door, and the times we were changing camera angles, that she had to stay in the same position, and that we had to place the camera in a specific position to make the shot look realistic, yet still effective.
*Need to add working video, and screenshots.
