Preliminary Task

Within our preliminary task we have used the techniques of match on action, shot reverse shot and 180 degree rule. The use of match on action where Balinder walks through the door one side and come through it the other side shows how the action will look from both perspectives. This makes the filming more fluid and natural and will allow the audience to feel like they have all the information they need because they've seen the scene from all possible angles. Another camera angle that we have used is 180 degree rule. This is used where Balinder approaches Aimee and starts they conversation. This gives an overview of the scene and allows the audience to understand what is happening. The final camera angle that we have used is shot reverse shot. This was used in order to show the conversation between Aimee and Balinder. The use of this shot makes the conversation flow better and seem for natural. Furthermore, within shot reverse shot, unlike 180 degree rule, there is a mid-shot which is used. This allows the audience to view better the actor's facial expressions and how they are feeling at that point in the conversation. Within our preliminary task we have also used titles sty the beginning just to outline to the audience what the video is and who created it. Furthermore, we have added credits at the end to make it look more professional and to show who the characters were within the clip. We have also used a transition from where Balinder walks through the door to when she starts to talk to Aimee. This makes the clip look seamless and makes it flow a lot better and more naturally just as it would in a normal everyday conversation.
