Preliminary Tasks

At the beginning of the course we had to film a variety of different preliminary tasks to get us used to working with the camera and equipment.

Task One - Match on action
Our first task was to film somebody walking through a door, we had to make sure that we got a shot of them walking through the door and then another shot of them in the room, the door closing behind them. This can be difficult to edit together as you need to make sure that you see the door opening and closing behind the character.

Task Two - Shot reverse shot
The second continuity task that we had to complete was recording a conversation between two people, we had to make sure that the camera was 180 degrees apart so that we could record both the faces of our subjects.

Our final preliminary task is below:


I filmed the task, myself and Miranda both edited and Miranda did the sound.
The 'shh' sound at the end of the sequence was myself making the sound which we recorded and embedded onto the clip.
