2. A preliminary task allows you to practise on different
variety of shots beforefilming your actual opening sequences. 3.
Establishing Shot- It is generally a long- or extreme long shot at
thebeginning of a scene indicating where, and sometimes when,
theremainder of the scene takes place.This is successful as the
start of character 1 is established in a location.Walking down the
hallway. 4. Over the shoulder shot- Shooting a conversation over
the shoulder allowsboth characters to remain in the scene
throughout This was successful as this type of shot shows that the
two characters are having a discussion and will usually follow an
establishing shot which helps the audience. 5. Reaction Shot- It is
a shot which cuts away from the main scene in orderto show the
reaction of a character to it.This was successful as it encourages
the audience to believe thecharacters are in the same geographic
space. 6. 4. Long Shot Long shot- shows the entire object or human
figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its
surroundingsThis was successful as it informed the audience of the
character situationsrelation both to one another and to their
surrounding. 7. Match on action- is when you cut during an action
to another cameraangle bur showing from the same point in time that
you left in fromthe previous shot.This is successful as it shows
the importance continuation of theflow of the scene. 8. 180 rule-
is a basic guideline that states that two characters (or
otherelements) in the same scene should always have the same
left/rightrelationship to each other.This was successful as it
helps to keep the actors facing the correctdirection. You dont want
both coming across as if they are looking off tonowhere. 9. Reverse
Shot -where one character is shown looking at another
character(often off-screen), and then the other character is shown
looking back at thefirst character. Since the characters are shown
facing in opposite directions,the viewer assumes that they are
looking at each otherThis was successful as it have exploited to
make improbable meaningsconvincing 10. This video was very
successful and so I would give them a level 4 since it usedgood a
variety of elements as it made me believe what situation they were
in andwhat was about to occur. It was very believable.They had good
use of shot such as:-Match on action-Establishing shots-Over the
shoulders shot-Reverse Shot-180 degree rule 11. This is
unsuccessful as the first image doesnt look believable that he was
talking tosomeone.They should have improved this by making the
second character be off-screen tomake it more convincing to the
viewers that they were making contact. 12. This is unsuccessful as
it doesnt give away any interest of whats about to happenwhen he
opens the door. They should have focused more on the guy by seeing
himopening the door and showing the other side of him entering to
give it a much bettershot. 13. This unsuccessful as it doesnt
establish the character where she is. We know that shecorridor
because of the board on the side. But they should have used an
establishing shlocation of where she is and where is going to go
next. 14. This was unsuccessful as it doesnt properly state that
they are making contactwith one another when discussing a
situation. They should have used a over theshoulder shot to make
there scene more effective by using this shot. 15. This video was
unsuccessful and so I would give them a level 2 since they
didnthave good variety of different shots.They should have included
the following shot:-Establishing shot to show what location they
are at-Over the shoulder shot-Match on action-Reverse Shot 16. How
have this helped me? This has helped me by making sure I use
different variety of shots in my preliminary task so people can
understand the importance of the shot. Also when I do my
preliminary draft I have an idea of what shots Im going to use and
how to apply them usefully to my task. This helped me by making
sure that my first draft would be a good one since I have research
on what is good and bad preliminary task.
