Preliminary Task

The sequence of the Preliminary exercise was filmed by Berke showing many more different filming skills however myself and Aklima acted out a sequence to implicate upon these skills. Stephanie observed what was going on in order to show that everything followed accordingly to the storyboard plan.

Our story is about a boy and a girl who started speaking but the film did not last very long due to this however we ensured that every filming skill was included within the sequence. We started of by using a graphic match to match the 0 of the room with the eye of character a (the boy) to show the room of which this was in. This interlinked well as this was then when the boy walked into the room which as this occurred this shot was a match on action of which an action is carried on from one shot to the next. Then as character A walks into the room it is then a eye line match to show his eyes then what he is staring at which is character B (the girl). They then started a conversation which was recorded via a shot/reverse shot therefore shoeing one character face then switching to the other characters face therefore its a reverse of the first shot between character a (the boy)  & Character B (the girl). Throughout this sequence is restricted via the 180 degree rule therefore continuously filmed on the same side which on this case was the left side therefore the characters were always on the right side to make it not confusing for the viewers.

Continuity Editing

Continuity editing is the predominant type of film editing used within the process to smooth over the film to make each shot be in sync with each other even more so this type of film editing for cuts between shots is based on movement therefore you cannot even notice it.

Eye-line match: this is used to coherent of the characters eyes however it's then replicated what they are looking at. An example of this is as follows;

match on action: when a character starts an action within the first shot then carries it on in the next shot therefore an example of this is someone opening a door to walk through it then the next shot is then walking through the door from the other side. A better example of this is as shown;

shot/reverse shot: this is when the camera is switching from each characters face as they are having a discussion therefore the camera is going from a normal shot to a reverse shot as it's then facing the opposite way at the other person. This is shown;

The 180 degree rule: this is a basic guideline of which should not be broken as the characters should always stay on the side which you filmed on to start of with therefore if you filmed on the left side the person should be on the right side therefore if you filmed on the other side it would be opposite therefore would become very confusing for the people watching it as to them looks like the character has then changed direction when they haven't.

the green therefore is replicating the side of which the characters can be on to show that they haven't changed sides or to not confuse the audience therefore within every film this guideline is carried out and in the rarest of circumstances is ever broken.

Graphic match: this is when two shots are interlinked together via a similar shape or the composition of a shape therefore replicating the similarity between two things within two shots.
