Evaluation Of Preliminary Task

Having done this task it has allowed me to understand to use the camera efficiently and appropriately. It has provided me with understanding to familiarize myself with how the cameras work, to allow the use of the cameras in our children's film be straightforward. When editing our work this task ensured that we were capable of editing out clip to ensure that each shot made sense and cooperated together. This was evident with the 180 degree rule, as we filmed the conversation twice each time focusing on either character and then editing the conversation together and cutting the conversation from character to character in order for it to make sense to the audience. Furthermore, I have learnt a lot about the different camera angles and shots and how simple/complicated it is to achieve each shot with the camera.

An aspect that we focused on was match on action and learning how to cut from one action to the same action from another angle, in the same point in time. Having understood how to do this, it will mean I will be able to use this shot in our children's film efficiently. As this shot isn't as straightforward it was important to use to continue the flow of the scene. This task has been good preparation for the children's film as it has looked at all aspects of using the cameras and making sure that it is more straightforward when we film our children's film
