preliminary task

Our brief was to make a short media artefact thatdemonstrated we understood continuity techniques. The continuity techniquesthat we had to demonstrate were match-on-action, 180 degrees rule, shotreverse, dialogue and open and cross the room. We used these techniques in ourvideo to practice them to show that we understand how to use them.

During our production, there were a few challenges that wehad to overcome, such as during the pre production, there were problems oflosing the story board, which made us lose time as we had to do it again,although it didn’t take too long. There were no problems organizing the propsand costume as we wore our own clothes and got a useful prop from the dramaapartment. However, the setting was a problem as the first room we were usingto film in had to be used so we had to change location, and as for the secondroom we was filming in had odd lighting, it shows this by seeing one scenelighter than a different scene. This caused a problem for filming as it didn’tmake the scene look as serious as it should have, there were also problems withthe acting as there was some laughter and accidentally looking into the camera.Also, the actors weren’t sure when to start acting as the director wasn’tgiving proper instructions/directions. Thankfully, there were no problems withtechnology or organizations.
