Does your film use continuity editing so that the sequence of events are clear and easily understood by the viewer?
The film contains all necessary bits to make the film make sense with the addition of overplaying the clips to really emphasise the person typing away making the video tense and dramatic.
Have you followed the directions in the brief? (A character opens a door, crosses a room and sits down in a chair opposite another character. An exchange of dialogue occurs.)
We followed the brief starting with a character opening the door, crossing the room and then sitting down. After this another scene takes place, elsewhere are two people who are exchanging dialogue sitting opposite each other.
Have you used match-on-action?
We used match-on-action by one of our characters walk towards a laptop back, then it cut to him sitting down and opening the laptop bag
Can you explain what a match-on action involves?
It is showing a clip of someone about to do something then it skips to the next clip and they have done it
Have you used shot/reverse shot?
No we didn’t use this shot
Can you explain what shot/reverse shot involves?
The reverse shot involves a conversation between two people and the camera moving to a different position of the two people.

Did you observe the 180-degree rule?
We used the 180 degrees rule when we was having our dialog scene, then went back to our business man then cut back to the two people having dialog again and when we cut back to them we made sure we used the 180 degrees rule.
Can you explain the 180-degree rule?
The 180 degrees rule is basically a 180 degree shot, so for an example if you were filming to people having dialog at a table then a if you went to change then camera angle to a over shoulder shot and then go back to 180 degrees after, then you would have to make sure that you went back to the same position were you filmed the first 180 degree shot. Because if you went to the other side to film the 180 degrees shot it would look like the two people had change seats

What role did you play in the making of the preliminary task? (e.g. filming, acting, editing, equipment organisation etc.)
My role is this preliminary task was being an actor, custom designer and to organise the scene we filmed in.
How would you assess your contribution to the group?
I contributed to the group as much as I could by making sure we had all the right stuff we needed to film our scene and made sure the scene was all ready to be filmed. I also put some of my own ideas into the film to try making it look more effective. I made sure that I had my custom for the filming

What have you learned from the process of making your preliminary film?
I have learnt a lot of things while making my preliminary task; I have learnt what the 180 degrees rule, how to use a camera properly and I have learnt lots of different camera shots. While making the film I learnt some new skills that we could use for our main task.
