PRELIMINARY TASK EVALUATION

PRELIMINARY TASK EVALUATION

In our preliminary task our storyline is based on two ordinary girls who are catching up on some good  old gossip about one of there friends and a boy we used an over the shoulder shot and a a shot reverse shot to represent this . Our preliminary task is vital into going against the idea of a patriarchal society as both main characters  are in initially female. Our storyline was about two girls who had been to the cinema as a group of friends and one of there girl mates had finally got a boyfriend in which all the friends had wanted. we represented a match on action with the two girls  whilst stick to the 180 degree wall throughout the film ending on the use of an eye line match.

Our instructions was to use at least a few of these shots listed below or if we could of them unfortunately the only one we didn't use was the graphic match. 

"Match on action"

We see a character start an action in one shot and then see them continue in the next. A trick with the match on action is each individual piece is filmed at separate times and evolved  together in a way in which it looks as though its one scene. The editor does this by creating a visual bridge, This distracts the initial viewer.

"Eye line match"

We see  a character looking at something off screen and then we cut the shot and then see them continue in in the next shot.This is based on a premise that  the audience will want to see what the character on screen is seeing.

"Shot reverse shot"

Shot reverse shot, also know as shot/counter shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character (often off-screen) and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character

" 180 degree rule"

The 180 degree rule is a basic guideline that states that two characters (or other element) in the same scene should always have the same left /right angle relationship to each other. This means that if the last shot was on the left hand side it would start on the right hand side as going back to left in the next shot will look like they just walked back on themselves.

"Graphic match"

A graphic match is an editing technique that that uses a continuous transition between two successive shots. A graphic match is used to create a cut between two shots that juxtapose their graphically similar images. This cut can establish a link between the shots graphically, aesthetically and metaphorically.
