Question 7

My preliminary task was of me and Harry having a conversation in one of the huts in our school. For this we included a shot reverse shot, match on action, eye-line match, and we kept to the 180 degree rule. For my opening compared to my preliminary I think that the editing flows more and the camera work is up to higher standard as we use a variety of shots.
 

 

The tube chop in my preliminary links to my opening sequence. In this one we also used the 180 degree rule when we are lost in the forest and can’t find the boys we were suppose to meet up with. This implies that the girls are lost in the woods therefore they are now more vulnerable, it is an effective shot as we can also can see the location they are in, the conversation we are having and what the characters are wearing. We are not breaking the rule at any time as we are again in the centre of the camera (on the 180 degree point)and have not gone past the line.


Linking this back to the preliminary task, we have subsequently used match on action in our opening sequence. We have used this at the beginning of the opening sequence where the 2 girls are walking into the forest, and when they are walking through the branches in the forest, this is where we have used match on action. The two shots from both sides flow smoothly together, and show that someone is watching them.
