Preliminary Task

In this assignment we had to show our ability to do a match on action, shot reverse shot and that we don't break the 180 degree rule. This was the first time, I had used the camera and tripod without any assistance from any one else, but I feel like this helped me become much more confident with the camera and understanding it. When filming we also made sure that we took as many shots as possible as I felt that it was good practise for when filming our actual opening. One of the most challenging parts of this task was not laughing while filming, this means that we had to redo many shots. Another problem was the background noise, we managed to turn the noise down slightly in editing but it in some shots when there is dialogue this wasn't possible so you can notice a definite change in the background noise. The editing process wasn't that difficult as we were quite efficient with doing the correct shots and we had already mapped out how we wanted it to look, so the editing didn't take much time.
