Preliminary Task

In our last lesson, we had to film a sequence of a character walking down a hallway, opening a door to a room and then starting dialogue with another character. We planned out our sequence in a story board which we made as accurate as possible to ensure we knew what we were doing as we were filming our shots. We used a lot of continuity editing to ensure that our film ran smoothly but also used specialised editing techniques to make our storyline interesting. As a group we decided to ensure that we used a varied range of camera shot types and other media techniques.
we used the 180 degree rule which is where, as you are filming dialogue, you keep the characters to their side of the frame to ensure that the sequence ensures continuity. the only time you can change this is if you actively show the camera changing sides of the character during the dialogue. My group used a lot of match on action shots to ensure that we kept continuity to keep the audience captivated and believing in our interesting yet short storyline.
WWW - Due to the fact that we kept to our 180 degree rule and matched on action our film was able to flow smoothly as we used and stuck to the continuity editing techniques. Also, our editing made the film very interesting as we edited shots to make it look as though we had filmed through CCTV.
EBI - Firstly, our film could be even better if we had more of a storyline as we didn't have much time to complete our storyboard and then add in a very detailed plot. Secondly, in our dialogue section we had to use the same shot during the first section of the dialogue as our main character was in a different position to the previous over-the-shoulder shot.
