Preliminary task

Preliminary task

In groups of no more then four, its a continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing the room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character with whom he or she exchanged a couple of lines of dialogue. This task must demonstrate match on action, shot reverse shot and the 180 degree rule.

 

 

For our preliminary task we devised an opening title sequence as seen in the picture above. You can see two males in a vehicle one of which is driving, whilst the other appears to be radioing in via a communicational devise. We decided to create a scene in which two police men are heading back to the station after being informed that there is a wanted man ready to be interrogated in custody.

I found the preliminary task relatively easy as I had a good production team behind me as well as the high-tech equipment available at the time of production. In the future I will use the same team as I used in the prelim task as we worked together both quickly and efficiently.
