Preliminary Task and Evaluation




For continuity editing in our piece we made sure to stick to the 180 degree rule, especially when the two characters are having a conversation, we made sure the camera is not moved past a certain point.

We used a Sony bloggy hand camera to film our piece, then uploaded it to a school computer and used Serif software to edit and cut it, and to add a non diagetic sound track to it.

I feel like the prelim task was quite effective as it taught me how to actually film a sequence, and what rules there are to be followed, such as the 180 degree rule. We worked well as a group and worked hard to create this piece. It was helpful having a few of us, as we had Alys on camerawork, Kiran as location manager, and I was directing some of the filming. Being able to spread the workload makes for a much more efficient and better project. If I was to do it again I would probably want to have a few more takes of the actual filming, as I felt the camerawork could have been improved if we had properly surveyed and analysed it before putting it through edit.
