Preliminary Task

In our groups we were required to create a short film that was under 60 seconds. Our group, of four people, two actors and two cameramen, decided to film a short, slick and fast paced scene to intrigue but also to allow experimentation with cinematography. 

The task requirement were to include examples of:

• Shot-reverse-shot
• Match-on-action

And to make sure we stuck to the 180 degree rule.

Successful aspects:

• All shots that were required in the brief were used to a good standard
• A variety of different camera shots were used
• The editing that was done was done too a really good standard and was continuous 
• The shot-reverse-shot and match-on-action were timed well 

Points for improvement:

• Pay closer to the mise-en-scene
• Be careful with background noise
• Use a higher quality camera
