Preliminary Task Evaluation

The preliminary task was designed so that myself and my fellow colleagues Taylor and Alice, learnt how to use the fundamentals of a camera effectively and correctly. We demonstrated in the task that we all have a firm understanding of camera rules, rules of thirds,match on action editing,reverse reverse shot and also that the film followed the 180 degree rule.



Rule of third: Composition rule of thumb in photography

180 degree rule: From this task I learnt the importance of the 180 degree rule. It is important as it displays the whole of the setting in which you are filming. It gives the viewer full understanding of the surroundings in which you are filming and therefore the scene does not become confusing and unclear.

Match on action editing: Moving closer to a an object , which in our film was the opening of the door. The action is the shot of the hand reaching for the handle and opening the door.

Reverse reverse shot: The conversation between myself and taylor shows how we effectively used the reverse reverse shot without the conversation coming across as scripted or unrealistic. In our preliminary task the camera shots used to go back and forth between the two of us run smoothly and therefore helps to make the conversation effective.
