Looking back at your preliminary tasks, what do you feel you have learnt in the progress from it to full product?



Above is our continuity editing task. The first task we had to do was match on action. We done this by having the girl walk through the door, and then showing a different shot of them walking into the room and closing the door. These two clips had to be edited in perfect time together to create the desired effect.

The second thing we had to do was a shot revere shot. The camera had to show the two characters having a conversation, but by using two different shots. The shots had to stay the same on both characters as otherwise the character positioning would not make sense.

Overally, doing these tasks did help us when creating our final project. It got us used to using the cameras, and helped us to ensure that all of the footage made chronological sense. It also got us used to the editing software, Adobe Premiere, as the clips had to be put into a timeline and edited together. This got us used to using the software when it came to editing our film. The match on action preliminary task was extremely helpful and productive to our film. This is because there are numerous shots which required this in our film; the character opening and shutting a door from two different perspectives, and the character throwing the cross on the floor from two different perspectives. The tasks greatly helped us when it came to shooting and editing these particular scenes.
