Preliminary Task

Hey Guys!
We have been set a task in which myself, Connor and Jess have to film and edit a character opening a door, crossing a room and siting down in a chair opposite another character where they exchange a few lines of dialogue. For this, we must demonstrate:

•  Match on Action - this refers to a film and editing technique where the editor cuts from one shot of a character to another, making one movement simultaneous.
• Shot/reverse Shot - mostly used to convey a conversation between two characters, this shot technique effectively highlights any emotional reactions
• 180-Degree Rule - the 180-degree rule is a basic guideline that states two characters in the same scene always have the same left/right relationship. This effectively ensures that the audience doesn't become disorientated.

As well as this we will have to achieve continuity in editing in order to form the illusion that what the audience is real.


Our plan


We have decided to share all of our roles, such as editing and filming, to find out which aspect of the task we are all good at. As far as our narrative goes the only thing we are certain on is that it is going to be filmed in school. We haven't fully discussed where in school or what will happen in the scene but I imagine we will be discussing this next lesson.
