Prelim

PRELIM

This is our prelim, doing this helps us to navigate new angles and practice and prepare our camera skills before we go into our real thriller. In the prelim we have a match on action, a shot reverse shot and an over the shoulder shot. Being able to use a camera swiftly and using different angles it enables the piece to be more entertaining and natural and helps people see every angle of the performance. 

WHAT WENT WELL: 

• We managed to film from a wide range of angles and this made our prelim look professional.
• As well as filming from different angles, they transitioned smoothly and none of them stuck out. 
• There was nothing distracting our performance and the focus was purely on the actors in the prelim. 
• The editing in the prelim is sharp and nothing sticks out. 
• We managed to keep it simple, yet effective through the different cuts.

WHAT NEEDS IMPROVING: 

• Always remembering to make sure the actor is doing the exact same thing as he was in the previous clip, e.g the phone in the same hand. 
• Trying to film over the shoulder shots more precisely so they match when the shot reverses and they are at the same level.
• Making our conversation longer so it gives us a chance to play around with more different angles. 
• Trying to remain focused throughout filming, because it was hard to cut out moments of laughter in between and making sure they still look accurate.
