PRELIMINARY TASK EVALUATION

1.     What is the 180 degree rule?

The 180-degree rule is the rule that when you are filming a numerous amount of characters you have to stay on the same side of them so that the viewer does not get disorientated.

2.     What is a match on action?

A match of action is a continuous shot filmed from different angles, it is when you cut into a close up of an action to put emphasis on a key point in a scene. it is also used to show something small that is important that you otherwise would not be able to see from a normal angle.

3.     What is an eye line match?

An eye line match is when two characters are exchanging dialogue whilst starring at each other eye to eye this is used so that the audience know exactly who is talking to who.

4.

What is shot reverse shot?

Shot reverse shot is a series of shots between two characters that are exchanging dialogue, this shot clearly shows who is talking to at what point.

5.how did the film making process go in terms of filmmaking compared to the storyboard?

We stuck to the outline of the storyboard however we did go into more detail within our shots throughout the stages of filming.  I think this was for the best however as the whole video would have been very basic if we had not done this. As we had a lack of props we ended up using our surroundings to help us as a scene. we found that there was a lack of angles within the film so we added a variation of different ones to make the film more interesting.

6.

What did you learn from adobe premiere?

I learnt how to cut a film to make the scenes within it flow better rather than having pauses with no dialogue in each scene. I also learnt how to edit on match on action, I did this when James knocked on the door as I edited to cuts of the same action so it went to a close up to add effect.
