The preliminary task post

Preliminary Task Brief:

" Continuity task involving filming and editing a character opening a door,
crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character, with whom she/he then
exchanges a couple of lines of dialogue. This task should demonstrate match on action,
shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. "

Below is my preliminary video, we had to shoot the same scene a couple of times ,each exactly the same but with different shots. It was interesting to learn how to edit and i think the scene`s editing was continuous and worked well.However i think when we make our thriller, we will have to think a lot more about making an interesting thriller and include many conventions of a thriller genre which we have learnt about. The acting could be a lot better in this scene, especially my acting.It is overall quite a boring scene and i hope that when we make our thriller we will include many more conventions of a thriller.The mise-en-scene also looks very school like and boring. I also think at the time of when we shot the pre-lim we didnt have our main thriller idea therefore this idea was more to help learn about the editing and different shot types and i really enjoyed learning these things, I have definitely been inspired and cant wait to make our thriller after this pre -lim!!
