For my preliminary task, we were asked to make a short video. I was not told about the 180 & 30-degree rule. My task lacked a bit in this as you will find out. They did however have to include various shots e.g 'Shot, reverse shot' which contained a conversation between two people and I filmed who ever was talking to make it look like as if it's a natural conversation. This is more appealing to the viewer and it's more natural.
I found my 'Match On Action' shot to be smooth. This was when I opened the door and I continuously went in to shot, and I sat down. Here is a screen grab from my video to outline this.
After this scene, I faded out, this gave the effect of time passing. I also found my 'Point Of View' shot to be very effective. This was to give the effect of me walking. I did this in hand-held style to make the walking more real life.
In 0:38, my friend watches myself walking into shot. He moves his face as if he is following me. This I found went well and emphasised the reality of the situation.
If I could change, I would reshoot various scenes like the opening of the door scene. I would of liked to get a shot of the door closing to give more clarity for the match on action.
With my first walking scene it is good, however I suddenly cut to a completely different scene which defeats physics. This is not very realistic and I would of reshot this. For the 'shot, reverse shot' at the very end, I would of liked to put in a two man shot, just to establish the situation.
I have learnt that when filming, you need to tell a story but not to confuse the viewer. You need to go through all the various stages as if you are reliving his every step. I have also learnt that from a class-room perspective, I can incorporate a whole range of different shots to make it more exciting like a low angle shot or various close ups.
Here is my preliminary task, in its entirety.....
