Task Brief: To create a short video in
which a character opens a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair to
opposite another character with whom they share a few lines of dialogue. This
task should demonstrate match on action, shot reverse shot and 180- degree
rule.
In our prelim task we successfully showed a
character walking down a corridor where he opens a door, this where the match
on action comes into play. In this scene the shots are cut smoothly together to
create a sense of continuity, the subject is in motion before the cut and this
motion carries on when it cuts to the close-up shot of the hand. However, the
scene where the character crosses the room is very short and very hard to
distinguish. The next scene the shot reverse shot and 180-degree rule are
clearly visible and are very effective in creating a sense of continuity within
the scene.
To improve the prelim task I would have
considered the lighting in each shot because some of the shot reverse shot are
darker from one side than the other and this breaks the continuity of the scene
as it looks like they’ve been filmed at different times. Another improvement
would be to increase the duration of the prelim task by creating a longer
dialogue and using a larger space to film.
