Diary Post- Preliminary Task

In today's lesson, we had a go at filming our preliminary tasks! Before filming we found out what the terms match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180 degree rule. We then went to film the preliminary task. 

The first thing we filmed was Ashleagh walking towards a door and then opening the door. In order to include match on action in our task we filmed Ashleagh opening the door from the outside and then closing it from the inside to make it flow smoothly. 

We also filmed Ashleagh and Zoe having a basic conversation. I was filming using the shot reverse shot technique when filming Ashleagh and Zoe's conversation and I used an over the shoulder shot to show the two conversing. I also tried to follow the 180 degree rule. 

I think we done quite a good job filming our first piece of video. Today I learnt that you may have to film the same scene over and over again to get it just the way you want it but in the end it will look good and better than if you just filmed it once.
