Preliminary Evaluation

This is my preliminary task where we had to film scenes with certain things in that scene. We had to use match on action, the 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot. The match on action is where we had to film actor 1 being kieran opening the door and it going onto a close up on his hand opening the door, We had to film kieran twice but editing showed as if it was one shot and you don't see the camera but we did film it in 2 shots. The first one showed kieran opening the door and turning right the next one was kieran's hand opening the door and him walking through. When we edited we put them together cut down the time and made it look smooth. The next was the 180 degree rule for this all we had to do was a one on one interview that was filmed twice and stayed 180 degrees away from the scene. The interview looked as if we were talking to each other with no camera not you should of been able to see but because it was filmed twice and editing and putting it together made it look as if it was normal. The third and the final was the shot reverse shot that was just the same where it would show actor 1 talking to actor 2 with the camera going back and forth showing each other talking. 

How we filmed the shots were quite difficult the first shot we had to get perfect to show kieran walking up to the door and we didn't want to show the classroom next door we ended up getting it perfect. The next scene was kieran's hand opening the door this was pretty easy all we had to do was get kieran to open the door again. The next scene we just put in the corner of the room ad got kieran to walk through the door and later we would cut him walking through and have him half in the door while it closes. The only hard part was the editing we had to get kieran perfectly walking through. Another shot was the same place but we moved it to the right a bit to then show kieran sitting down opposite me. The shot reverse shot i had to put 3 scissors to where the stand was to make sure i could put it back in the same spot to make it perfect. 

What could of we done better was the last shot we could of done much better and a longer shot reverse shot as we only did two scenes of it. If we had more scenes it would have been more effective. The last shot could of been done done again as the we filmed it once and you can see some mistakes for example my hands in the last scene were above the table but then they were below. You can also see that we save the table from falling. The last was that kieran had goggles on his head when walking through the door but in the next he was wearing them. To improve we could have watched it back and filmed the scene again.
