In the Preliminary task we had to to produce 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. In addition, the task should show and demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180 degree.
In my group, the theme of our film was a parents evening, where a parent (me) is walking through a door, then opens the door of the classroom, then sits down and speaks to the teacher about the parents son's behaviour.
What went well is that we were able to demonstrate match on action (when the parent was opening the door), shot/reverse shot (the dialogue between the parent and teacher), and not breaking 180 degree. Furthermore, the editing went well as i was able to comfortably edit the the footage, as everything was filmed correctly.
What we could of improved on is that when filming we just done a minimum of 5 takes for each section we were filming. Instead at the beginning we kept on rewinded to view the takes then forward, which caused as complications with uploading. Furthermore, we didn't leave enough space for us to edit, as we didn't leave the camera to record shortly before we stated filming the actual take.
However we learnt from our mistakes, and furtherm on in filming rectified this.
