We found the Preliminary task very challenging. I feel this was because we made the it too complicated for ourselves. I feel that now we have completed the task we have made it a lot harder for ourselves to shot.
Looking at other groups' work, it was very simplistic and mainly focused on the brief, and not trying to add things that were not in the brief. For example; a lot of other groups came up with simple ideas, such as, passing small objects such as pens etc. This gave them a lot more chance to focus on the shot composition. The had more time to focus on the framing, shot/ reverse shots, match on action shot as well as displaying the 180 degree rule, which we had a lot of trouble with.
When editing, we realised that we had over complicated things, and so we decided to leave out the contrapuntal sound, as it was not required in the brief, the rest of the groups had not bothered with it, which is why we were less successful.
However, we have demonstrated the examples of a shot/ reverse shot, match on action and the 180 degree rule. I feel we have learnt from the mistakes we have made in the Preliminary task, and will take them into the Main task.
Our Peers' Preliminary Task
When watching, we looked out for examples of match on action, shot/ reverse shot and the 180 degree rule. Each of the groups we watched showed these. Match on action was either shown through the passing of items, or the opening and closing of a door. Shot/ reverse shot was used in every group when there was dialogue from the actors. And the 180 degree rule was not broken.
