Preliminary Task
This is our preliminary task, which was our first task, having needed to include certain camera rules.
The camera rules which we needed to include in our preliminary task were:
-180 degree rule
-Shot reverse shot
-Match on action
Match on action is the a shot which cuts to linking shots, almost seamlessly, for example in our preliminary task, the having the hand reaching her shoulder then it cuts to a a extreme close up of her actually making contact with her shoulder.
Shot reverse shot is a shot which jumps from one face to another to show the relationship between characters in the shot. An example of this in our task would be when the characters are talking as the camera jumps between them.
The 180 degree rule is when cutting from one person to another, however you cannot cross the imaginary 180 degree line or it would confuse the audience watching. An example of this in the preliminary is, again, when the two girls are talking; the camera jumps from the left hand shoulder of one of the girls to the other girls right shoulder, which is following the 180 degree rule as the camera is not crossing the imaginary line.
We also used various camera shots and angles to reflect the feelings of the characters and to make our audience feel and relate to the character in our preliminary task.
The establishing shot is shown on screen through a fade in transition. The establishing shot is a medium shot, which is behind the character, which makes the audience feel as if they are part of the film, as if we are walking behind them. This shot also allows the audience to see the location of the our preliminary task, which is a school. The lighting and colours of the walls in the shot symbolises the girls mood in this scene, which is pathetic fallacy.
The next shot is a close up of her pulling the chair out and then a medium shot involving her sitting down on the chair. This is the use of match on action filming.
The close up following this, allows the audience to see the expression of the character due to the text she has received. It suggest she is the main character in our task.
Having a low angled camera shot creates a little enigma as the audience do no know who this person's feet are.
The medium shot next, shows the audience the relationship between the character as this is the first shot of the character being in the same one.
The use of the 180 degree shot and the shot reverse shot, allows the audience to relate and feel party of the scene. It also allows them to see their reactions to each other and the mood the characters are in.
Having the close up, close up and then extreme close up shot add tension and expresses the anger and upset the character is feeling.
The match on action used in the final shot shows the we understand how to use it as we have used it so more than once precisely cutting it to ensure fluency.
