Preliminary Task

What did you learn about the cameras and editing software during the preliminary task?
We learnt you can use the camera for diffrent shots. As it has diffrent modes and settings on it. Also you can use the camera handheld for trackng and on the tripod. We learnt that editing is time consuming and a bit tricky.

In the filiming and editing of your project, what worked well and what could have been improved?
When we edited the extreme close up of the door handle, it was on a diffrent side than the one we used in the other shot, also in editing when we cut the scene from when Andrew was sitting down it seem abit jumpy which made it look like a jump cut but that was not the effect we were looking for; this could have been improved.
The shot reverse shot worked well in the editing.

Give a detailed, specific example of how you have used a shot/reverse shot combination in your film?
We had Anderw and Eddie sat down on chairs facing each other in the room in a two shot, having conversation (dialogue).Then we had an over the shoulder shot showing Eddie. Then we reversed it so the camera was looking over Eddie's shoulder at Andrew.


How did you make sure that you didn't break the 180 degree rule? Or if you broke it, what have you learnt from this?
We did break 180 degree rule as a mid shot of Andrew in the video entering the room shows the door opening and the handle. And in the same video a close up of the door handle is from a different door.
