Preliminary Task- Research

Here is what my Preliminary Task Involved:

Continuity Task involving filming and editing a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character , with whom she/he then exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate, shot reverse shot, match on action and 180 degree rule.  

This what the task involved and here are the example of the three things I need to show in my preliminary task. Here is an video I found on youtube that shows all 3 examples perfectly. This helped me create my preliminary task perfectly.

I did not plan extensively for my preliminary task instead I chose to do a lot things by improvising however I did storyboard the shots and do a location recce. Other than I let my actors improvise on what conversation they wanted to have in order to let it flow and make it look realistic.

Location Recce

Match on Action Location 

180 degree rule and shot reverse shot location 

I used these locations as these were easily accessible at the time and they fit the whole preliminary task perfectly. Since I have no narrative and I just felt improvising was the best way to do this task I felt using the location I had available at the time was the best thing to do.
