For the Prelimary Task we had to group  up and  we had to do a short clip which shows the 180 degree rule and a match on match shot (through a conversation). For our task we chose to use a person walking into a detantion room (this is where we used match on match action shot) and then  he sits down and has a conversation with another person (which is where we show the 180 degree rule).  We used a Tripod for the whole filming so we could have smooth steady shots that are not moving and jumping around.

The Brief

As part of your foundation portfolio you will have to produce two short filmed artefacts. 

The Preliminary task is a Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.

The main task is to research, plan and make the titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes. You can work on your own or in a group, maximum of 3. All research and planning should be completed individually.
