This is to get us used to the basic rules of filming; the '180 Degree Rule' in order to not make the viewer dizzy or any other similar causes, 'Match on Action' in order to show the perspective of a character such as the second person staring at the door being opened, and 'Shot Reverse Shot' which is switching between 2 cameras that are filming at the same time in different perspectives/ directions.
After that task, we are going to do a collective project of filming Opening Titles for a Thriller; that being the genre we chose on. This will involve using some editing software such as Adobe Premier, and our filming kit of 2 cameras and so on, and if necessary which it probably won't; a green screen.
"Preliminary exercise: 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 match on action,
shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule.
Main task: the titles and opening of a new fiction film, to last a maximum of two minutes.
All video and audio material must be original, produced by the candidate(s), with the exception of
music or audio effects from a copyright-free source. Both preliminary and main tasks may be done
individually or as a group. Maximum four members to a group. "
Quoted from Specification.
Here I have made a start to the 1st task by making a storyboard.
This draft idea is about a detective who is interrogating a suspect and mysterious kills him with something inside a suitacase when the lights flicker on/off. All these images aren't exactly the prefered camera angle of that event, but are the ways in which I 1st picture ideas that I can alter to fit the criteria of 'match on action', '180 degrees' and 'shot-reverse-shot'.
