Final Preliminary Task

 

 

Editing for Preliminary Task

The first thing we did was trimmed the sections of the film, mainly at the end or beginning so that they fitted with the film better and so we could get rid of the bits we didnt want.

Next we brightened up each scene so that it was much easier to see the film.Then we added an effect so that the camera follows the same way that the character was walking.

We then added a fade in from black animation so that this establishes that this is the start of the film.

We used a fade in and fade out tool on most of the shots. This makes the sound change from one shot to another smoother and not as noticable to the viewer.



Here we have used an animation to follow the characters actions making it look more natural.

 

 

We have cropped and added an effect to this scene which zooms out of the shot, again following the characters action.

 

Finally we used a 'fade out' effect in the last shot. This shows the viewers that this is the end of the film/scene.

Preliminary Task - Characters

 

Characters

First interviewer; Me

My role in the preliminary task was to be quite strict and to make the interviewee feel quite intimidated. We used two interviewers to try and help this feeling.

 

Second interviewer; Dan Papworth

Dans role in this task was the same as mine, but in the task i was more strict than he was.

 

Interviewee; Alex Underwood

In our task our main aim for a interview gone wrong. we tried to show this by having strict interviewers and a dumb interviewee. he doesnt really have a clue whats going on and the interview doesnt go well. and obviously leads to him not getting the job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Preliminary Task Storyboard

Three Shot Types

180 Degree Shot

In films, they use a 180 degree shot type purely to show the character which is talking. they use this shot because it allows the audience to get a full look at the characters face whilst they are talking and it also allows you to see the back of the other characters head to they are talking to, to show that they are in a conversation.




Shot Reverse Shot

Shot reverse shot is also shown in films when one character is talking they focus in one character over anothers shoulder, then they go back and film the othr character and do the same over the others shoulder then its repeated throughout their conversation. this shot is used to show the characters facial expressions through the conversations and to show the audience that they are in a convo.










Match on Action Shot



A match on action shot is when the camera focus's on a main character and then follows them and focus's on them fully. this is used to show the location and background as to where the character is and what they're doing. its used in films to show the audience what the character is doing and where they are.
