Preliminary Task - Portfolio Evaluation
What did you learn about the cameras and editing software during the preliminary task?
We learnt how to use the camera in our task, setting it up and putting it away, how to use the tripod and how to use it for a range of shots. E.g. close up's, high angle's, low angle's, zooming in and out, long shots, medium shots, shot reverse shot and 180 degree rule. In editing we learnt how to use the software by cutting out clips and using desolves. Also we used garage band to create background music for our task.
In the filming and editing of your project, what worked well or what could of been improved?
When filming, the high angle shot of 'the man answering the phone' and 'the man making the phone call' worked well because it was a match cut and worked well with the narative and showed that they were in two different places. This was effective in our task. We could of improved the close up's of 'the man's' faces too make it look more effective e.g Extreme close up on an angle.
Give a detailed, specific example of how you have used a shot/ reverse shot combination in your film
Our example of the shot reverse shot was when our charactors were sat at the table, exchanging looks and comments, switching form one person to another. This was then followed by the 180 degree rule.
Give a detailed, specific example of how you achieved match cuts during the editing process
We achieved our match cuts by using two people on the phone in different locations at different angles. This is at the start of the clip to open it.
How did you make sure that you didn’t break the 180 degree rule? Or if you broke it, what have you learnt from this?
W didnt break this rule. We made sure we didn't by starting in the middle of the mans chair and panned to the other side of the other mans chair, but staying in the middle. This is done so we could recognise the effectiveness of the 180 degree rule.

The completion of the Preliminary Task.
On Tuesday 2nd Febuary, we completed the task. We filmed the scene in and outside of the college, which involves shots of high angle, low angle, shot reverse shot, close up's, point of view shots and the 180 degree rule. We then edited the clips on the Mac to develop the final peice.
Thursday 4th Febuary. We are currently making the music for the backing track for the clip on Garage band. The video will uploaded shortly. :)
