Preliminary Task Review

Our preliminary task included everything that was laid out in the specification and more. We had a shot reverse shot, match on action, close ups, establishing shots and even a canted shot which showed our various media skills. We successfully followed the 180 degree rule during filming as well. All of this was done by successfully following our storyboard. Our continuity editing was very effective and our shots were clean and well planned which helped the verisimilitude. However, we could have improved the flow of our piece. This could have been done by filming more carefully and more steadily, possibly with better equipment or more practice. We could have all used more extensive sound to add more tension to the film and therefore make it more effective. Overall, I think we made a successful preliminary task.
