Preliminary Task Analysis

During the preliminary task I took the role of leading mostly the camera work and working the position in which we would need to film, in order to try make our angles as precise as possible, I also briefly help with directing the editing however Sarangan took most part of the lead with editing the task. However, because we didn't have much time to film we never write a storyboard or script this made it quite difficult to film because we had to improvise for the most part and didn't have a guide as to what we wanted to film. The camera work in our preliminary was not particularly effective, during filming we took only a few different types of shots, shot reverse shot, match on action, close-up, and an over the shoulder shot.

Also by having a a number of shots for one scene it made the editing process much easier as there was more footage to choose from. In our preliminary task I believe the match on action was executed well for example when person 1 was entering the room at the beginning we showed her walking up to the door and reaching for the doorknob then a close-up of her hand opening the door. However I do think we followed the 180 degree rule but I do not think it was clearing shown.

Shot reverse shot was executed during the dialogue sequence when person 1 and person 2 was having a conversation. In spite of all of this in order to improve the preliminary task I would create a script and a storyboard in order to make the process of filming easier and would have written out which shots we was going to execute and how we could position the camera in order for it to be effective.
