Prelim task evaluation

In our prelim task was myself, Laura Walton and Paige lee edmunds, we each had a role in this prelim task; mine and Laura's were to act and Paige was to film.
Before we had started recording our video we first began to thought process what we wanted, needed to do for our short preliminary task. And what we thought of is an exchange where a character would come to a location and collect an item, we wanted this as it was very simple and easy when capturing the shots needed.

In our thought processing time we also wrote the specific shots we wanted at each point; our first shot is a high angle from the edge of the room we wanted this because it can help portray a CCTV camera watching the character, the second shot is a point of view shot of the character opening a door and to fit the criteria were we had to have 'match on match action' and to make sure we had a medium shot of the character openning/closing the door.

For the next part of our video we begin the conversation between the two characters, and again we had to have a shot included because of it being in the criteria this is 'over the shoulder shot'; were we decided to have the shot tight as possible to capture a really good 'over the shoulder shot'. During filming we came across difficulties as in our location there was not enough space to fit all our equipment such as the tri-pod, so we decided to shoot the film without. by doing this in each of our scenes we had to take as many shots as we can just in case human error produces a bad shot for example the persons hand shaking. The next stage of the prelim task was the continuity editing, this is were you can edit the video in the edit suite, you can apply music and special effects.
