Chapter FIFTY

PRELIM TASK [Click to View]

For the preliminary task I have to film and edit a piece of film:

OCR’s preliminary task asked for a:

Preliminary exercise: Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. 

 

This is the opening title sequence to the new fiction film 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' 

When filming the prelim task, I had to simply edit shots to make a sequence. Since filming and editing EVANGELINE I have understood how to use the camera better and the importance of the microphone. I also had to concentrate on continuity doing filming and editing. The shots had to fit and flow smoothly in the edit. The match on action shots had to look as one or the picture would look robotic.
