Evaluation Question 7

(Q7)What do you think you have learnt in the progression from the preliminary task to the final draft of your opening sequence?

At the beginning of the year we learnt about different skills and ways to make our film look professional and creative, we then showed these by filming a short piece which showed our skills in filming, editing and being creative in our ideas. Within this short piece we used such techniques as match on action, shot reverse shot, follow the 180 degree rule as well as using the rule of thirds.


Editing, the first technique that we used was shot reverse shot, this meant that we needed to shot two angles of the same piece and then cut them both so that they can be placed together which will look like we just switched the camera when filming it. We used this technique when the phone is picked up and answered. I believe that I have progressed in this technique as I have made it look much more professional and it was cut at the right moments.

Filming, we used the 180 degree rule which meant that the camera would not cross the side of which the first shot was shown as this might have disorientated. We ensured that the opening sequence kept to this rule throughout the piece, I have improved this skill as I have managed to keep to this rule in all the shots which was a challenge. The use of match on action was when the phone was picked up, one character began to pick up the phone but then we switched the camera shot and angle but the phone was still getting picked up at the same point. We also used the rule of third all the way throughout the piece as well as being very creative with the shots.
The clip below shows the 180 degree rule.

Creativity, I used a lot of creativity within the cinematography as well as planning out the different scenes we will be doing. The screenshots below show the creativity of cinematography I used within this piece of work.
