PRELIMINARY POST 2

Preliminary Task

  /

The Preliminary Task was to demonstrate continuity editing. We had to make sure that we used: Match on action, Shot/ Reverse Shot, Eyeline Match and making sure that we follow the 180 Degree Rule.
In my group, which included Abi and Taju. I was the one who was in charge of using the camera, and videoing what was going on. Abi and Taju were having a conversation about recruiting for a new job and she was asking the usual question that any interviewee would ask, so for example "Why would you like to work here."

So when I was filming it I had to make sure that I wasn't breaking the 180 degree rule, or else it would break the whole structure of the scene, if I do break it then its called crossing the line. I also had to make sure that I used the eyeline match, to show when Taju was walking down the corridor and he was looking at the poster. I also used the match on action showing when Taju was walking into the room and he opens the door and we could see his face as he opened the door. And lastly I used the shot/ reverse shot to show that they were both having a conversation with each other.
