Preliminary task

This is my preliminary task. We got into groups of about 4 people to play around with filming and achieving different shots. This developed our skills of filming and editing skills. This task included change on action, shot reverse shot and not breaking the 180 degree rule.

Filming the shots were relatively easy, the more challenging part was editing all the clips we had together to perfect the material we had. This was quite difficult as some of our filming wasn't as on point as we needed it to be. We had a few problems with getting the match on action accurate and to run smoothly so we ended up having to re film parts to improve it. 

Making our film follow the 180 degree rule was easy as we imagined the 'invisible line' and made sure we filmed the correct parts. The conversation at the beginning had a few issues due to the lighting on the second character. Although this was hard to prevent due to the window letting in the light in one direction, although we got the right idea of the shot reverse shot. We also incluough footage to get the exact accurate points to cut and edit together to look professional. 

Improvements that would make if I were to redo this task would be to ensure that the lighting is bright enough in all the shots. I would also make sure that the editing is smooded match on action shots which were slightly trickier to complete to a realistic standard as we had to ensure that the character was moving from one cut to the next smoothly. To do this we recorded more than enther to be the best it can be and make our filming more perfected. Also the end part needs to be made clearer as it is hard to see what has happened to the character, as we didn't actually film her falling over.
