Preliminary Task Evaluation



We were asked to create a short clip of two people greeting each other and showing two lines of dialogue between two characters, we set our scene in a class room in the sixth form block, this created the correct set we needed to create our short clip. We decided to have two characters discussing their time in sixth form, we have various camera shots and movements included in the short clip to make sure the clip have continuity and match on action. 



We created various different plans to make sure that we had included all of the right camera movements and shots to create match on action. These included scene plans and overall plans of the short clip. This helped us prepare for the film production as we knew what shots to take and when we would take them. It also helped us organise our editing process so that there was continuity throughout the film. We also did Mes-En Scene location planning to identify which places would be best to shoot our scenes, this also helped us when filming as we knew where to film each scene.



We filmed each scene from various different shots so the dialogue worked, we filmed each scene twice to make the editing process easier. Filming the scene from many different angles made it easier for us to edit to make sure the conversation was continuous. This went well due to the scenes fitting well together during the production of the short clip, this way of filming made us more organised when coming to edit it! We used the 180 degree shot when the dialogue was being portrayed, we also used shot reverse shot throughout the short clip to make sure that each character was shown equally and to make sure the clip flowed continuously.





I have used Adobe Premier Pro to edit my short clip, I have learnt various skills by using this software to edit my short clip, I have learn how to create match on action by cutting the scenes and editing them together. I applied all of the clips we had filmed for each scene into Premier Pro and deleted the ones that were not suitable. I started to edit the clips together, cutting and and when I was happy, I added a song for extra effect. Lastly I rendered it all together to make sure I could export it onto Youtube successfully.
   






Overall, our short clip meets all of the set brief, it shows various different skills including match on action, shot reverse shot and many camera shots, movements and angles. Some of the things stated on the plan changed to make the film more continuous, this made the clip easier to edit and created a more realistic overall clip. I believe a strong point in the clip is the match on action when the character is walking towards the door and the camera shot changes into a close up shot of the door handle, the continuity is quite strong as it shows a vast amount of match on action. A weakness is the camera movements not being as accurate as they could be, however this couldn't be helped due to the camera equipment we were required to use to film the clip. We could develop the location of the clip to make the film more interesting, this would also keep the audience watching more entertained. We could also develop the filming quality to make sure our main task is more successful!
