Preliminary Task - Video Evaluation
This is a video presentation evaluating the preliminary task that I have been set to complete with my team peers.
The preliminary exercise was to create a 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.
Our team were also tasked to demonstrate match on action, shot/reverse shot and the 180-degree rule. Our selected genre of this task is a mixture of gangster and thriller.
This fottage will answer the following questions:
1. What have you learnt from completing this task?
2. What will you aim to do differently, or use in your coursework piece?
3. Are you pleased with the fottage of the edit?
4. How do you think your prelim experience will impact on your approach to your final courswork project?

This is a completed storyboarding sheet, where our group planned out how will the scenes of our preliminary task will be set in. Originally, we would have a male and female exchanging dialogues, where we were in the position of making a romantic intro.
However, we skipped the idea and changed it into a gangster genre, but we keep the idea of two people exchanging dialogues and a character entering a house where he/she makes his/her way of meeting their gang member or leader.
Overall from doing this task, I learned that storyboarding is important because it helps me and the group manage how the scenes in every shot will be put into place and how it creates a storyline.
