In our preliminary task we had to film a shot-reverse-shot, match on action and a 180 degree rule of someone walking into a room, pulling out a chair and then sitting down.
The purpose of the task was to show that we can use cameras and successfully edit our work afterwards. I found this task helped me because this was the first I had filmed or edited and it gave me a chance to practise and learn the skills in order to make my film opening better.
As I didn't do Media for a GCSE, I found the preliminary task a great way to start my coursework because it allowed to plan, film and practise editing for later creating my film opening. Millie, Charlie and I brainstormed different ideas/scenarios we could do and this helped us then decide what resource etc. we would need. We decided we wanted a crime theme and decided this this idea would work well with incorporating the shot-reverse-shot, 180 degree rule and match on action shots.
Despite the majority of our preliminary task going well, I believe it could have been better if we had been more focused, as it was our first time being film/filming we were giggling and having to restart many shots, taking longer to film the shots. Another problem was that some shots didn't completely match up, however I believe this is because Millie and I were new to filming and editing, but Charlie had previous experience and managed to edit the parts that didn't match up very well together to create a flowing image. Regardless of these minor faults I believe Millie, Charlie and I produced a good preliminary task.
