Preminiliary questions by tom morgan

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. We made sure the ending was clear and used feedback to help our video make most sense to the audience as we could.
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. (Me and Callum both businessmen)
Have you used match-on-action?
We used match-on-action when we one of the characters walked to the briefcase it then skipped to him unzipping it.
Can you explain what a match-on action involves?
Match-on action involves going up to an object or doing something and then cutting to it being done for example we walked over to a laptop then we used match on and it was open.
Have you used shot/reverse shot?
Nope we will go on and improve our next marked video by using shots like this.
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 two people

Did you observe the 180-degree rule?
We took the 180 degree rule into considering when we recorded the scene with me and other businessman playing cards. But when the ‘Keyboard warrior’ was recorded we didn’t take notice of the 180 rule as we wanted close ups from in front of him and behind.
Can you explain the 180-degree rule?
The 180 degree rule consists of filming in a 180 degree angle and not going past that limit we did not break this rule and i think we done a very good job.
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, prop man, costume designer and co director. I also made sure we was following our idea and keeping on track and that we were organised and ready to film.
How would you assess your contribution to the group?
All together we discussed the pitch and agreed on the idea. Each member of the group contributed by putting a lot of effort and overall they enjoyed the making and producing of the film. My personal input was being an actor and done numerous scenes as a business man doing different shots and following scripts I also helped with lighting and contributed by adding new ideas and giving the video a fresh modern feel.
What have you learned from the process of making your preliminary film?
From making our preliminary film, I have learnt different camera techniques and the long process of making and editing a film. I have also learnt that lighting is a big issue when filming and learnt numerous things about acting.
