Preliminary Evaluation

For our preliminary exercise we chose to tell the simple story of a teacher handing in some paperwork late. The reason we decided on such a simple storyline was so that we could focus on demonstrating the required techniques rather than concentrating on making the storyline engaging.

Techniques used:

 for our prelimnary excercise we used all the required techniques. These were:

Match On Action: we used match on action when the female teacher entered the classroom. Match on action is when the audience see the actor/actress complete an action from one position and then see them continue the action from another position. In our case we used it to show someone walking through a door. We filmed her walking through the door from the outside of the classroom and then filmed her doing the same but from inside the classroom.

Eyeline Match: we used an eyeline match to show the female teacher looking confused at the male teacher as she was leaving the classroom. We did this by filming one of the teachers looking one way and then filmed the other one looking another. When edited together it looked like they were looking at eachother when really they were looking in different directions.

Shot Reverse Shot: We used a shot reverse shot when filming the conversation between the teachers. This is done by filming one person during part of the conversation and then constantly switching between the people involved in the conversation.

180 Degree Rule: we did not break the 180 degree.
