Prelimanary Task - Question 7

Looking at our prelim task we learnt how to use 180 degree rule, Match on action and shot reverse shot. In our prelim we broke the 180 degree rule because we filmed on the wrong side and stepped over the 180 degree line. After we watched our prelim through we realised that we broke this rule and had to make sure that it would never happen again. We have developed our skill of this because we now no that we should never step over the 180 degree line so that the characters stay the same side. We also used match on action in our prelim when the character steps through the door it cuts and then he is standing next to the girl. We thought this looked good in our prelim and it helps make the scene better. We have developed our skill using this because when harris steps out of the car he starts walking and then there is a slow transition into the next scene and harris is in the park which makes the audience wonder how he got into the park and how he spotted the victim. We also used shot reverse shot in our prelim which helped when getting to no who the character is. We developed this because when the two characters are speaking in our opening sequence it makes the audience feel what the character feels and it also makes them think and wonder why the girl is walking through the park on her own and gives an insight into the opening sequence.
