Our preliminary task was filmed by Tom Hodgson, directed by Jamie Roper, edited by me (Matthew Denham) and acted by Jamie Roper and myself. This was outlined in the credits on the first box of the storyboard. The third and fourth box on the storyboard shows clealrly a match on action where the motion of the character opening the door is cut to the other side of the door. A two-shot was used in the next part of the clip where one of the characters is trying to get the other ones attention, it also shows a conversation building between the two characters. We see a close up of the handshake between the two characters which swiftly moves onto the conversation between the two characters. An over-the-shoulder shot shows the conversation which is followed by a shot reverse shot. A close up of the exchanging of the phone and a medium shot of the character texting off the phone ends the clip.
During the filming of this task we came across one or two problems. These will have helped us in the long run because we will not make the same mistakes when recording for our main project and this task has given us the experience that we will need.
Below are a few examples in which we analysed/used to follow the different camera shots/edit techniques needed in our preliminary task.
