The Preliminary Task

For the task itself, we were asked to produce a short filmed and edited sequence of someone opening a door, walking in to the room, sitting in a chair opposite another person and having a conversation. This all had to be done using continuity editing in the correct way and at the same time had to look correct and make sense to the viewer. By using continuity editing correctly, the 180 degree rule, match on action and shot reverse shot all have to be used whilst filming the sequence. Other editing techniques that can also be used to make it look better is a Master shot and an eyeline match, just to make the whole sequence look more effective and clear for the viewer.
