Preliminary Task

Preliminary task:

The Preliminary task is not awarded any marks, but if you do not complete the task you lose marks.
The preliminary task is a demonstration of continunity editing.
It must show you can successfully use;

• Match on action
• Shot/reverse shot
• 180 degree rule
• eyeline match

Key Edits:
Match on action - We see a character start an action in one shot and then we see them continue it in the next.

180 Degree Rule:
The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline that states that 2 characters (or other elements) in some scene should always have the same left/right relationship to eachother.

If the camera passes over the imaginary axis connecting the 2 subjects, it is called crossing the line.

In the sequence we should see the following action unfold:

• Character A walks towards a closed door
• Character A enters through the door and crosses a room in where character B is seated

This means character A and B have a dialogue, one eyeline match and either character A or B exits.

This is my preliminary task:
