Preliminary Task

For this task I am going to make a short film to get some initial experience in cameras

180 Degree shot- This is where the position of the camera stays in the arc pf 180 degrees and swaps from person to person
Shot/Reverse shot- This is when the camera is placed so you can see two individual same perceptives of each other, typically over the shoulder
Match on action shot- This happens when the editor cuts to the next shot from the first shot e.g. Someone places there hand on the door handle in the first shot and then for the second shot its the door being opened on the other side




Prelim Evaluation

From making this short video I have learnt that I have a better understanding of planning, filming and editing. Our planning was a simple story board which was simple yet effective. We included all three camera angles which are listed above. Our filming was done on a tripod which was how we made the camera so still, I think this should always be used in our video to make it easier to see by the audience, it also made filming less of a hassle. However we could have changed the background as there was too much light and it made our actors hard to see their facial expressions. Also the camera wasn't a very good quality so the picture and sound quality wasn't sufficient. Overall the movement and camera angles of the video was good. Our editing was fairly simple as we filmed it in short clips so we only had to put them together, this will be easier for future videos as it saves time.
