Preliminary + Evaluation of the process

Heres the final cut of the preliminary task which i edited myself:

From completing the preliminary task, it has given us a insight into what editing our final film will be like, but only harder. I've learnt how to add transitions ect. and when filming it, it taught me how to use match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180 degree rule to show continutity throughout the film.

Issues
where we was filming was in the corridor of our Sixth form block where it's being frequently used all the time. People kept on walking in and out when we tried to film and i started to get frustrated so we came to a conclusion to have two of the students block both entrance doors while we film. it wasn't going to take long but becasue of the constant disruptions it lingered on.

Equipment

All we needed was a phone camera to shoot this because we neverhad the proper ones for the main task as it wasn't needed. We used Richard's (group member) Blackberry smartphone camera to film. Me and Richard alternated filming because i kept messing up one of the shots which was another reason why the filming took long but we fixed that problem.

Actors

Richard & Deon (group members).

Location

Sixth form block corridor

What went well

The continuity task turned out how we expected it to and all we had to do now was edit it and add transitions where needed. The equipment worked fine, communication was excellent, and we succeded in showing match on action, shot/reverse shot and 180 degree rule.

Would be better if

would have been better if we used an actual room where there were chairs so Deon wouldn't have had to sit on the floor, but all the possible rooms were occuoied and we didn't want and background noise conflicting with the dialogue.
