Analysis of Preliminary

My preliminary task was done for me to get the feel of how to use a camera and how to use the shots that we have studied in class. Our preliminary had to involve a certain numbers of things, such as a match on action shot, someone entering through a door and sitting on a chair, a shot-reverse-shot, a 180 degree shot as well as dialouge.

Our preliminary consisted of Lewie entering a room through a door and sitting down opposite claudia, a friend that offered to thelp us with our task. lewie sat down and they exchanged a few lines of dialogue then talked and buying and selling stuff. They then gave each other something and pocketed it, then lewie got up and left the room through the same door he entered. I was using the camera to catch all the neccassary shots that were required.

To make sure that we did this correctly we did this in several differents rooms around the school, the first 2 did not have what we needed, when we had finally found a room that had everything we needed, we took a few takes of the film so that we could use the best parts and so i could get the camera shots and angels all right.

When were had finished and confident that we had meet the criteria needed for our preliminary, we handed the tape in to our teacher, ready to take on the task of our 2 minute opening film for a thriller .
