From looking back at your preliminary task what do you feel you have you learnt in

the progression from it to the full product?

From looking back at my preliminary task I completed I believe

my final production is a huge significance, it has improved a lot,
It looks a lot more effective as I focused more on the different
type of shots and angles that work better for certain scenes. I
have also focused more upon the 180 degree rule. By carrying
out the preliminary task it definitely gave me more confidence for
when it came to the filming for my actual production.

The 180 Degree Rule..

The 180-degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the onscreen spatial relationship between a character and
another character or object within a scene, it is very
important and should be follow as much as possible in
order to create an effective and logical production. The
rule is that the camera has to stay on the same side of the
180 degree line, if this is crossed it may look confusing to
the audience and the production may look disorientated.
During my preliminary task I broke the 18o degree rule as
this was my first time learning about it and filming,
however I followed the 180 degree rule in my final
production.

Match On Action

Match on action is an editing technique for continuity

editing where one shot cuts to another portraying the
action of the subject in the first shot. In our production
Match on Action is shown when this character is shown
opening the door in one scene and it cuts to her closing
the door when she leaves the house in the next scene
as shown in the images below.

Shot Reverse Shot

Shot reverse shot is also a type of continuity editing used in
conversations between characters, it is very important as it
shows a shot of what the character is looking at. In the final
production we did not use a shot reverse shot scene however
we did use it in our preliminary this was shown when the
characters were having a conversation with each other.

Overall, it is evident that our final production showed a

greater amount of improvement compared to our
preliminary task, this is because we learnt about the
importance of factors such as the 180 degree rule and
match on action and how important these are for the
fluidity of the production.
